Ok guys I need some help! I'm trying to decide which primer to buy and I can't make up my mind. I have combination/oily skin and I'm deciding between the Too Faced Primed and Poreless, the Smashbox Photofinish or Benefit Porefessional.

Any suggestions or comments would be incredibly helpful!

I have combination/oily skin and I have Smashbox Photofinish and Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer. Both have yet to break me out. With both I noticed that I have to blot at least once a day. But it's much better than what I was doing before...blotting every couple of hours without the use of primer. I have yet to try Too Faced though.

Laura Mercier eye base is really good.

FYI face primers that are meant to fill in lines and make pores appear smaller contain a silicone ingredient...which does NOTHING to control oil. i have yet to find a good primer to keep my makeup in one place....so the ones you listed may work well, but they may not suit your skin type....try going to a sephora or ulta and asking for a sample of a couple different ones before you make the investment

I have really super oily skin and I have been using Benefit's The POREfessional and Laura Geller tinted face spackel. Those two products under my foundation has worked wonders. I only have to blot and re powder once a day :D

Thanks for the input guys, I did go out and ask for a few samples from Sephora so I'm going to test them out and see which one works best!
