Best budget primer that mattifies and fills cracks!

8 replies

WeeM · 16/01/2019 15:59

I am looking for a new primer but don’t want to spend a fortune. Have an Estée Lauder that’s nearly done but trying to save cash. Would probably spend up to about £12 or so.
I have oily skin so want one that mattifies but I also have uneven skin so want to fill in the cracks too-anything Ive seen seems to do one or the other.
Does anyone have any good recommendations? Wondered if the NYX ones were good as I do like their make up?

Smashbox?

Not sure if good for filling in cracks but they do a good oil free one

Filling cracks? Sounds like you want to put it on your walls as well as your face! Grin

Total hack here - lanacane anti chafing gel is the same consistency as smashbox photo ready. I use it all the time when I’m being frugal. Loads cheaper too

This is the best mattifier: www.paulaschoice.co.uk/shine-stopper-instant-matte-finish-with-microsponge-technology-m3600.html?dwvar_m3600_size=fullsize&cgid=

However I cannot get it to work with make up.

This: www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-kiss-light-reflecting-facial-primer-30ml/p/0348561 Is very good for makeup, but can't cope past lunchtime on the mattifying front. But, it's £3 Grin

i like the primark mattifying one - thinks it’s about £3. the w7 one is also very good.

NYX pore filler

Oh lots of ideas thanks! I’ve heard about the lanacane actually and I have one so I may as well give that a try and see what happens. I also have a willo locally so might see if they have that one. My primark is quite small so might need to wait til I get to a bigger one to see what they have.
