I use GOSH velvet touch primer, it's about a tenner from Superdrug. Barbara Daly from Tescos also gets good reviews on here also about a tenner.

As the summer is (supposedly) coming, I'd recommend the MAC SPF50 Prep & Prime. I think it's about £21.

Barbra Daly Flawless Primer in Tesco - 3 for 2 deal on atm so get Face Lift cream as well.

Honestly? The best one I have used is Lanacane Anti-chafing gel. It has all the same silicones in it as the top brands. I bought the Revlon Photofinish one the other day and that's ok.

I read the book Don't go the beauty counter without reading this' and the author says you don't need primer. Well worth a read. I got it from the library

Primer? I thought that was something you put on before painting somewhere......Aaaaaah.. I see.

anniewoo that's why I balk at paying a lot! I have humungous pores though, so sometimes it's worth it.

I was about to suggest B&Q as they stay open til 10 but clearly wrong.
