Smashbox primer

Smashbox have stopped trading in the UK and I can't get hold of my favourite primer, the green colour correct one. I use Bobbi Brown foundation, but their primer has always been very grainy for me. Any ideas for a decent replacement? I have greasy skin but I liked the smashbox primers as they were silky and not grainy

I find this one close to the Smashbox one (I was also a fan) www.lookfantastic.com/dhc-velvet-skin-coat-primer-15g/11207496.html

Think Superdrug do it too

NYX primers are often favourably compared to Smashbox.

Thanks, I'll give them a go!

Oh that's a shame, I LOVE my Smashbox photo finish primer. Can you update if you find a good alternative OP, I will need to shop when I run out.

Do you need the green in the primer?

@ABugWife It's annoying, I have one small bottle left 😭

@veryfluffyfluff No I probably don't - my skin is prone to redness but I wear a high coverage foundation

Loreal infallible is good

I bought Angel Veil by NYK and quite impressed - a nice matte finish but doesn't quite go on as smoothly as Smashbox. But a decent alternative
