Appreciate I might be looking for something that doesn't exist here but I thought if anyone would know, it would be the S&B board.
I'm looking for a primer to wear on its own, no foundation on top. I have oily skin which is quite red and has big pores around my nose. I would really like something that lasts all day too.
Thank you for any advice!

What effect are you looking for? Blurring? Illuminating? Red cancellation?

Does it have to be untinted? If not I recommend Erborian BB cream. It adjusts to your skin tone. If you want completely untinted then Elf poreless putty primer gives a blurring effect.

I don't know what I'm looking for sorry Chilled, just want to look better! Maybe mattifying? The oiliness is the main thing that bothers me.
Sparkle, I used to use a BB cream but it just got on my nerves. I have a white uniform for work and ended up with orange on my collar!

Yes I fins this mattifying. The original one.

I don’t wear foundation at all and rarely I mean once a year rarely any make up . But this smoothed on is so soft and creamy and just blurs and evens out skin tone

Off topic but facial oil fixed my oily skin. Sounds counter intuitive but adding oil stops your body over producing and everything calms down. I like Neals Yard rose facial oil or Body shop oil of life

Thank you, I will look at porefessional.
Can I ask how you use oil please, RightsHoardingRaptor, with moisturiser or instead of?
