I need recommendations for a foundation primer..I use powder and liquid foundations and have combination skin with a oily t-zone esp in the warmer months. Thanks!!

For me, nothing compares to Velvet Skin Coat by DHC Skincare. Concealer and foundation glide on and stay on and I have combination skin too.

I've used Laura Geller's Spackle for years. She has several, but I prefer the Neutralizer as it helps even out my skin tone. QVC rarely has it, but I wait til Laura has a sale on her site and stock up.

I too have an oily t-zone that's worse when the weather is warm. I wear liquid and powder foundations (Laura Geller), often both at the same time. My makeup stays put all day!

Murad oil control mattifier.  The best for t zones and it has sunscreen.  You only need a tiny bit and it lasts a good long time.

Lancôme makes a primer called La Base Pro and 2 others called La Base Pro Pore Eraser and La Base Pro Hydra Glow.

I use the La Base Pro with liquid foundations.

Anyone have a suggestion for a drugstore product that's a primer, Moisturizer and has spf at least 40....would love to it all 3 at once!! Dept. store brand OK, I guess.

I have heard LG's is a good one because it has no silicone that gives a primer too much slip.

I am following this thread too! Whatever I use looks great in the house...when I get in the car I can see all the uneven skin tone? Maybe I need a better concealer?

@wonderfulworld What do you use to apply your foundation? A brush, a sponge or fingers? If I use a liquid, I use primer first then let that dry before using a foundation brush to apply and blend.

Recently I have been using the new skin philosophy tint using the brush. I 'build it' over the problem areas but it still shows through. I like the new skin tint because it does not turn orange on me as many foundations do.

Thank you for asking.
