I use liquid foundation and I was using a "benefit" primer but I'm trying to save my money right now. what is a good primer that I can get from drug stores??  thanks!:))

I know this sounds weird, but trust me on this. It's very similar to Smashbox Photo Finish Primer (which costs arond $40), but it's not actually a primer. But many makeup artists and regular makeup users alike use it and it's completely safe.

It's Monistat Chafing Gel. You can buy it at any drugstore. Yep, it sounds weird, but you can really use it as a face primer too. I've used it before and it works really well!

I know other people that have used it with great results. But if you think that's too weird you could also try Rimmel Fix and Perfect Foundation Primer which is under $10 sold at some drugstores or Ulta.

The Revlon photo finishing primers are pretty fantastic for the price. I do notice a difference in how long my makeup stays and how oily my doesn't look when I use it versus not. I think it's about $14 at any drugstore too.
