Foundation and Primer help??

So I want to get a foundation and primer, I don't mind spending a bit more on the primer, but I would like to try to keep the products under $40. My skin can get very oily, and I have some large pores. When I wear foundation I find it either oxidizes, or it sinks into my skin leaving some area's looking patchy and gross. What are some primers and foundations that will help? Also is a beauty blender sponge worth it?? Thank you.

Girl oily all the way 😕
The porefessional did nothing for me if anything made my makeup look like crap. Just my opinion on the product.
Things I use: Primers, Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Primer &&' the Rimmel Stay Matte.
Foundations, I mix a bit of Cover girls 3 in 1 foundation &&' Garniers BB Cream (oily skin formula) works perfect in my opinion.
Hope this helps 😘

I personally haven't had much success with drugstore primers. They all have irritated my skin something fierce. I know you are trying to stick with a budget but if you can stretch it I highly advise Hourglass Mineral Veil primer. I have oily/combo skin and that lil gem didn't cause me any grief and it did a pretty good job at keeping my makeup looking fresh and pores from being magnified.

A primer I love to use on myself and others is the Rimmel fix and perfect in 002. Very smoothing but not too slippery.
Sorry I can't help much with foundation :/ I don't use it (I still prime my skin for concealer). Well, I did like the bourjois healthy mix serum foundation. it's very natural.
