Primer for mature skin

Thank you everyone for the valuable feedback, I will read more on these products.

My favourite is Illamasqua’s Hydrabase. It’s a very moisturising primer that is great for dry or mature skin. Unfortunately the brand is no longer available in Australia so needs to be ordered from their UK-based site. Lancôme’s La Base is also excellent, and more readily available.

It depends on what you are looking to do with the primer. Do you want one to hide enlarged pores or do you want one that illuminates? I too am 45 and I use a few differnt ones depending on occasion. For normal day to day, I am currently loving Designer Brands Rise & Prime which is an illuminating primer. It isn’t an in your face illumination, if that makes sense. It’s also very budget friendly. If I want to hide enlarged pores then I use either Benefit Pore Professional or Smashbox Photo Finish.

Napoletana make a great primer, I can’t live without it, I recommend visiting a Napoletana counter to get the right primer for your skin type as they really make a difference

I love the Becca primers -nice and hydrating and smell great. For a cheaper option Loreal Base Magique is good. I also like Revlon FX primer and Snashbox is also pretty good. I have really dry skin and all these have been suitable for that kind of siin type but probably would be ok for combination skin too.

I successfully use Maybelline Dream but only use a VERY small amount each time because I tiny bit goes a loooong way.
