Best primer on a budget

For a good primer under £10, try e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer around £7-£8, Rimmel London Lasting Finish Primer about £7, or Revolution Pro Pore Primer £8-£9. I used to love Urban Decay eye primer for its flesh color and effectiveness, plus it’s cruelty-free. Now, I often skip primer and just use a light concealer, since my dry skin holds makeup well without it. Recently, I found some fantastic beauty products on www.dealsandstealstoday.com/ at great discounts. They have amazing deals, and I’ve been able to snag high quality items without breaking the bank.

Thanks for that tip Hollysteers😃

If your eyelashes are next to nothing, I highly recommend using a white primer base before adding mascara. It makes a world of difference.

I use Gosh primer, order it on Amazon now, as you can’t seem to find it in the shops. It really is nice, and I have sensitive skin.

I can’t make the £10 barrier, but I highly recommend Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix Primer. Comes in a flat grey bottle, retails around £12/£13. It’s quite thick and gloopy, but spreads easily, and, once it’s dried for a few minutes, provides a smooth as glass base for foundation. I often just use a dusting of powder over it, it’s so effective.

I too thought it was paint, well, my Dad used to call make up war paint!
I’m glad I’ve hardly ever worn any, less to be concerned about.

I thought this was about decorating paint. What is it about?

Too faced do eyeshadow primer, think it’s called 24 hr insurance? Really good, especially if you don’t want to end up like Alice Cooper whilst doing the garden

Oh gosh - I don’t use a primer. Moisturiser followed by tinted moisturiser 😂

I did think painting walls when I first looked I must admit.! When I was younger I used to wear various sorts of makeup, high heels for dancing , and nail varnish etc. Still admire some of the rather lovely nail paintings I would call them rather than varnish, but do wonder at the cost of them all when things are quite tough at the moment. If they give people confidence and pleasure it is probably worth it for them. My hair is really white now and as I go swimming I just get a good cut and leave it at that . Dont think I could do much weeding if my nails were painted so I can admire these on others and know I am saving my money by not colouring my hair or anything. Hope they find what they want. With friends years ago we used to occasionally get together and swap things but now with the covid situation probably even nail polish is no longer swapped about.

Redhead56 I too used to buy Gosh products in store. I order online. Great service, very helpful if any issues.

Honestly you paint fanciers😂this thread is on style and beauty
Keep up at the back😁
So much choice that am dithering over what to buy, so thanks again for recommendations.

🤣 me too!

I find the LFF primer lasts a good while Primrose. I just use two tiny pea sized blobs to cover face and neck.

I use Elf Poreless Putty

Or I use Rimmel BB with built-in primer and other built-in goodies

I use Look Fabulous Forever face primer which is transparent but it’s not cheap. Whoever would want something white? Shades of Elizabeth I!

I said earlier I tried this but although it says 35 ml on the container I soon went through it and I only use a tiny bit GSM. Now using Avon Hydrating Primer and it’s about £5 and really nice.

🤣🤣 thought this was about paint

I bought one on Amazon by a company called Altruist, it has a SPF 50 and is £9.50. I bought it specifically for the factor 50.

NYX pore primer - approx £10 - brilliant. Blurs imperfections and wrinkles - a lovely smooth finish. Have been using for ages - Boots and Superdrug and online

Thank you GSM.Will certainly try that one.

Can anyone recommend an eye primer please.I have Beauty Pie and find it very drying and settles into lines.

I use Urban Decay. Brilliant.

What are primers over there?

Here in Canada it is a liquid one would apply to a wall or fence before painting it.

I agree I always use No 7 primer and very happy. For my nose area and only when using makeup I use the benefit pore primer

So did I! I always use Dulux!

Maybe a quick splash of Dulux paint primer would cover up my wrinkles nicely.....it's the setting bit that would worry me
