Drugstore Face Primer Without Glitter

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking for a drugstore face primer that will fill fine lines and has NO GLITTER. I have bought and tried the Sally Hansen one which had a lot of glitter and made my skin break-out and I got the l'oreal studio secret face primer for redness. It smells like beer and also has too much glitter. Also, I have sensitive dry skin and I tend to have redness in my face in the morning when I wake up. If you know any that has SPF, that would be great too, but I don't think very many have it. Please let me know if there's is a face primer in CVS or Walgreens that is reasonable priced and has no glitter please. Dewy and matter finish is more my speed. Thanks!

Revlon has a face primer that works really well!

Have you heard of using Monistat anti-chaffing gel as a face primer?
It was all hyped up a few months ago! :)

I even wrote a post - this post is old {so don't judge me} lmbo.

I am obsessed with hard candy sheer envy primer. They have some with glitter, but I use the plain one:)

Silly as it sounds when my skin is irritated I will use Neosporin, pain relief, the cream not the ointment. A little goes a long way.

I agree with Kimberly, Im a monistat fan. More silicone then any high end primers you will find on the market.

Avon Magix Face Perfecter about $7 - $10 and Monistat Chafing Gel both work beautifully with no irritation. The Magix is SPF 20 but leaves no whiteish residue.

I'm going to second the Hard Candy Sheer Envy primer. I have the skin perfecting one and I love it.

I use the Witch skin primer. It has antibacterial properties so it helps your skin fight spots. I can't compare it to any others but I've had no problems so far and I've been using it for about 8 months now and the best thing is that it's under a tenner :)

I never knew there were face primers with glitter! ;) I've seen some with shimmer from mica but not glitter.

Hard Candy Sheer Envy primer is shimmer and glitter free however it can feel greasy to some people. Monistat is one of the best DIY primers out there... again not shimmer or glitter. Rimmel London's primers are also shimmer and glitter free.

Rimmels Fix/Prefect Pro 002 is a really good one and it lasts good 8 hrs or more plus it has no GLITTER.

Yes I love the Hard Candy as well. The white tube works best for me.

I just bought the Rimmel primer and I really like it. It's super creamy but still holds up well through out the day. It also doesn't have any glitter! I think I bought mine for $7 at Walmart.

Rimmel isn't bad, but personally I don't even usually use an actual face primer, I use Cetaphil moisturizer with UVA/UFB defense, let it sink in, and apply my foundation and it usually makes applying it very easy and smooth and lasts too.

I didn't know Cetaphil made a moisturizer:)

i have used Hard Candy Sheer Envy and Avon MAgix Face protector, and i like both. I have dry, sensitive skin and my skin hated the loreal one. :/
