I don’t use primers often but there are some that I think really make a difference in the final result of my make-up.  I have a dry skin so I go for primers that illuminate and brighten as opposed to ones targeting oil control or pore size. 

LE BLANC DE CHANEL ILLUMINATING BASE does exactly what it says it does.  I love this under foundation. 

I discovered Too Faced Hangover Face Primer last year and was surprised by how much I liked it.  This leaves my skin feeling hydrated, radiant, and bright. 

BECCA First Light Priming Filter Face Primer instantly wakes up and brightens the skin.  It has a lavender tint to it but sheers out to a very luminous and hydrating finish.
