primer help!

I am looking for a good primer, you know the sort to keep your make up from sliding off rather than the diy type! Have tried many over the years. I use bare minerals foundation (have tried theirs) have very large pores on my nose and a very oily t zone. We have a wedding this weekend and would love to be picture perfect! Anyone have a miracle product? Thanks!

I use the Elizabeth Arden beauty ash balm. I don't think it's actually a primer as such but when I use my bare minerals straight after it makes my face look great and keeps it on Smile

Ask for a sample of Laura Merciers Secret Finish - Mattifying and maybe one of the primers, such as the oil-free foundation primer.
The foundation primer makes my makeup last longer, but doesn't absorb oil as much as the secret finish product.

You can use the secret finish one on top of your makeup as well, so it's fine for touch-ups later in the day.

I used to buy Smashbox, now I use Lanacane's Anti-Chafing Gel. Trust me. Grin
