The Ordinary High-Spreadability Fluid Primer
“I LOVE THIS”
I love this primer. It’s so silky smooth and my makeup sat so nicely on it. I’m acne prone and it didn’t irritate my skin in any way. So glad I go it!
Chloe
“BRILLIANT!”
This is brilliant. The Ordinary for another win. Goes in smoothly. Lasts all day. A little goes a long way. I have very dry skin and this is amazing. Highly recommend. Also, the price is brilliant.

Ofra Cool As A Cucumber Primer
“AMAZING”
This primer is so underrated!! So moisturising but also makes your face kinda tacky so makes sure your foundation will stick and last, smells amazing too. Definitely recommend if you have dry/normal skin, so lightweight on the skin too!

“I LOVE THIS PRIMER”
A great hydrating primer. Good at reducing the look of pores and makes make up last well. I use light coverage foundation and I don’t notice any kind of cracking and minimal movement throughout the day. Does smell strongly of cucumber but personally isn’t an issue for me. I will buy this again.

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP THE MARSHMELLOW SMOOTHING PRIMER
“SMELLS AS GOOD AS IT WORKS”
Smells lovely, applies to skin easy and leaves a slight tacky feeling for makeup to stick to after applying which I love!
Courtney
“BEST PRIMER I’VE USED!”
This is honestly the best primer I’ve used. It’s moisturizing, hydrating, and keeps my makeup on all day whether I only top it with powder or foundation. It feels light on the skin and also smells very nice, which is a plus imo.

TOO FACED HANGOVER PRIMER
“BEAUTIFUL”
Lightweight & makes my foundation look like skin

“PERFECT FOR DRY SKIN”
This is my favourite primer for my dry skin. Without this primer or with any other primer I’ve tried, I find my foundation cracking up or sticking to dry patches after a while. With this primer I do not have that problem and my skin feels great.
