Need replacement for discontinued primer!!!

805diva · ‎12-04-2014

I have been a loyal user of Philosophy's "The Present" clear makeup/primer for years, and it appears to have been discontinued! I have a small quantity in reserve but I'll be needing to find a new makeup primer soon, so I am wondering if anyone has found anything comparable? I tried Laura Geller's "Spackle" and it was OK but I got oily shine/breakthrough way before I wanted to touch up or powder. I need something pretty hard core. Thanks!

If you want to avoid parabens, Lancôme's La Base Pro only contains CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER

A typical bottle (it has a pump at top) lasts me a little over 3 months when used daily.

I love the Smashbox Photo Finish primer.

Try Hard Candy's (found at Walmart) Sheer Envy Pore-Defense Serum Primer. It's oil free, silicon free, and alcohol free.

They also do not test on animals. Not bad for $8 for 1.5 oz!

805Diva, I highly reecomend Spackle, and Laura has expanded the range well beyond the original version. One of the specialty Spackle's might work well for you. However, if you don't want to go there again I understand. Smashbox PhotoFinish Primer is high on my list. It comes in a few different formulas. The one called Light may be a weight you feel comfortable with. I also think Neutrogena Healthy Skin Shine Control works well.
