Smashbox primer - worth buying?

I am torn between spending my beauty budget on a smashbox primer or the urban decay talkback palette.

Can anyone recommend the primer? I am thinking the pore minimizing one but like the sound of the radiance one too.

It's ok, I used it for my wedding makeup, but I think Maybelline babyface is exactly the same for a lot cheaper. I think they're both silicone based, so really there is little difference ingredients wise, purely price.

That's interesting! I will have a look at reviews on both.

I didn't love it tbh...if anything made my make up slide off!

I love Backtalk, especially the face palette. Also, I don't know if you've tried Urban Decay primer but the Optical Illusion one is probably the best ever and I've been looking for a good one for so long

The Gosh primers are basically the same and less than half the price, I always buy them now.

I am glad I posted, looks like I would be wasting my money on the smashbox one!

I use Lanacane anti-chafing gel as a primer. Very cheap and just as good as expensive primer brands. Lots about it on Google if you want to take a look. Works really well.

Porefessional by benefit is much better

I will have a Google of that gel.

I have seen mixes reviews on the porefessional. I wish they could all send me a free trial+
