Alternative to Smashbox Primer

[ShakeABake]

I can sadly no longer easily get hold of Smashbox primer as my local Boots no longer stock it. I’d like to look at alternatives before I order online, any recommendations? Even better if you’ve used Smashbox and then moved on 😊

L'Oreal Face Mattifying Primer is very good.

I no longer use primer but had used smashbox religiously (the clear one with spf) and quite liked benefit POREfressional

I now use Milk Makep Primer, it's really good.

I had the very same issue and am gutted they no longer sell in UK.
I've tried a few and the closest I can find is NYX and was also mentioned by someone as a good dupe on another thread.

NYX Professional Makeup Studio Perfect Primer - Clear, Makeup Primer Base, Even Complexion, Minimises Fine Lines and Pores, Vegan Formula amzn.eu/d/81efJBZ

Not quite as perfect as the smashbox but pretty close and only a tenner

Benefit Porefessional is very similar in texture and finish.

I like The Ordinary silicone primer. Really cheap, goes on nicely. Tolerated by my super sensitive skin

Yes this one

This is the best primer I’ve ever used.

The ELF poreless primer is good & very similar to the smashbox one

Yes, me too. I used to use the Smashbox hydrating primer years ago, but now use this to stop my nose being a speckledy mess of foundation.

Aldi sometimes do a dupe which is pretty good! Not sure if they’ll restock…

Lanacane anti chaff gel has the same ingredients iirc, it's good anyway.

Lanacane has always been cited as a great dupe. I need to try

I miss smashbox already :( I’ve been using Estée Lauder but I can’t afford that long term.

I never found benefit porefessional any good , don’t understand the hype

it also depends if you use foundation, and whether it’s oil/water based

Lanacane is great, I've been using it for years

Thanks all! I shall look into these!
