Side note: all primers were applied under Lasting perfection 16 hour wear foundation by Collection which I reviewed previously.
PERFECT BLUR BY GARNIER
Price: 30ml for around 12€, depends on where you live.
Texture and application: it has thicker consistency (silicone based), similar to Magic Blur by L’Oreal but I find it easier to blend. It sticks to the skin well and you can use brush or sponge for foundation application. Due to its thicker texture it hides well bigger pores and acne scars.
TIME BALM BY THE BALM
Price: 30ml for 14,99€ in DI drugstore in Belgium.
Texture and application: it has thin consistency (but thicker than the primer by BareMinerals); it blends well into the skin so you can use brush or sponge for foundation application. It doesn’t blur imperfections like scars or big pores as well as thicker primers.
VELVET TOUCH LINE PERFECTOR BY GOSH
Price: 12,99£ in Superdrug drugstore in UK, you can find it cheaper in Germany or Austria.
Texture and application: it has thicker white cream (silicone based) texture, that blends well into the face so you can use either brush or sponge for foundation application. It blurs imperfections (acne scars and bigger pores) quite well.
Performance of the primers: all these three primers perform the same. They keep my skin matt for quite a long time (7-8 hours) and the foundation breaks up around dry patches. Therefore they are good option for oily to normal skin, not so great for dry skin. If you have acne scars or bigger pores and you want to get the best deal, choose a primer by Garnier.
