Replacement for Clarins Beauty Balm Eclair

I need a new primer. To clarify in case I am using the wrong terminology I mean a special moisturiser type product that sinks in very quickly and you keep forgetting putting on right before makeup. I used to use Clarins but the product changed for the worse. Please does anyone have a recommendation for me? I don't wear makeup often so I am happy to spend a little on something really good.

Many thanks in advance. Your help may save me from buying and discarding many products.

Bump.

I’d really appreciate advice on replacement for CLARINS BFB. How does NARS primer compare? Is BFB a primer? I find BFB works on puffy under eye area, any other options?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

@spotddog just you and me here, desperately searching for primers!

It's not strictly a primer but Weleda Skin Food is brilliant under make up, I use the light one. I used the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm for years until it became more expensive and less effective!

I loved BFB! The question was asked a while ago when BFB changed, and a couple of posters suggested Bobby Brown vitamin enriched face base, which I tried and liked. Worth a try, it comes in a range of sizes so you can buy a small one to see if it's what you want. I bought it from John Lewis.
