Best primer for oily skin

Hello, I’m looking for a primer for oily skin. I’m finding that after applying my moisturiser and SPF and letting them both sit for a while, my make up only lasts for a few hours and has slipped or else I look oily again! It might be I need a better setting powder or a different product altogether. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Primer may add to the problem - sometimes too many layers creates extra slip. That said, MILK’s Hydro Grip Primer is fab for oiliness: Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer | Cult Beauty

But so is a good dusting of Laura Mercier’s cult setting powder: Buy Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder 29g (Various Shades) - LOOKFANTASTIC

If that’s too much, this one is fab too MAKE UP FOR EVER ultra Hd Microfinishing Pressed Powder 2g (Various Shades) - - LOOKFANTASTIC

you only need a tiny bit too!

I have a fairly oily skin and the Benefit POREfessional face primer has helped control this, highly recommend!

Thanks Becky! I’ll give them a go :+1::blush:

I love this one!

I have combination skin and have been really enjoying Mac’s Studio Radiance https://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/14764/102515/products/makeup/face/face-primer/studio-radiance-moisturizing-illuminating-silky-primer

I’d recommend this serum by The Face Planner: THE SUPER HYDRATOR – Face Planner
It is a skincare product, so hydrates and nourishes the skin but also works well as a primer - evens out your skin tone and leaves your skin not too tacky for makeup application x
