Primers

[Tangle foot]

I'm after a new primer. I've tried most of the ones on Q at one time or another and either ended up giving them away or returning them. I have an oily/combination skin. I would prefer one without silicones. Have any of you got any recommendations please?

Laura Mercier does a few different ones for different problems, radiance, oily or dry skin. They are more expensive but you could try ebay for cheaper.

Urban Decay and MAC do ones for combi skin. Do not buy from ebay as more likely to be fake, go to a counter as ask for a sample.

Bobbi Brown does a few different ones too.

Hourglass is fab BUT £52.

Thanks Donna. I managed to get a sample of the Hourglass veil primer from Space Nk today. I'm currently using Laura mercier oil free but not loving it as much as l thought l would.

Oh brilliant. I admit I am no longer a fan of Laura Mercier though used it years back.

I quite like this one, but it does contain Polysilicone, which I'll admit, I don't really know if it's different to silicone? I'm assuming it's in the same family though.

Thanks Mr Marple. I tried this in the body shop strangely enough on Saturday. In the end l've opted for the hourglass. I know it's expensive but it feels so light on the skin and certainly seems to keep my make up in place.

You only need a tiny amount for the Hourglass, and you can use under your eyes as well.
