Can anyone recommend an everyday primer and one for nights out?

I'm in desperate need of a new primer! Currently using one by B (Superdrug own brand) but its just alright...only using it because i had it and its pretty much run out. Can anyone recommend one for everyday use?

I would also love to hear about any primers that are good for going out in the evening etc - perhaps a higher end brand (i tend to use the cheaper stuff for every day, then splash out on a high end brand to use for nights out!)

Thank you in advance

Just buy one primer as they have a shelf life. Try Elf from Superdrug.

I use Clinique superprimer. It isn't cheap but lasts for months.

Daytime I use smashbox or super budget option baby skin. Nighttime Clarins Flash Beauty Balm is amazing.

I used to use smashbox primer but recently bought NYX studio ready primer (the clear one) and its just as good as smashbox in my opinion, and cheaper too!

Currently Eve Lom Flawless Radiance which I got for a tenner in the Birchbox sale a while ago. I find it doesn't oxidise my foundation like my Stila One Step Correct does. I'll be back on the NYX Studio Ready though when it's gone - a much more reasonable everyday price.

Nivea Mens Shave lotion (not sure of the proper name). Many MCA's have said it's better than some of the leading brands and it's so cheap

Thanks so much everyone! I will have a google of all the ones you suggested! Smile

I was thinking of an NYX one as i LOVE their make up but its quite overwhelming when you're reading reviews of so many different products! Thank you for narrowing some down for me 🙂

I use the rimmel matte primer or, as had been mentioned, nivea post shave balm. I prefer the nivea tbh, I find it moisturising as well, had a nice smell and really helps the make up stick.
