9 of the best makeup primers - according to our Beauty Editors

Finding the perfect makeup primer for your face shouldn't be difficult, which is why we've compiled this list of our 9 favourite formulas that are suitable for all different types of skin.

Let's talk about whether or not you even need a primer before we get there. Primer formulations of the past, such as those silicone-heavy ones that make you want to wash your face right away, were heavily focused on extending the wear of your makeup or filling up your pores.

However, primers today are considerably more of a hybrid. Yes, there are still products available that help your makeup last longer, but they use far better formulas now. Consider Milk's Hydro Grip, which owing to its ingredients list that includes hyaluronic acid and aloe water, will hold your makeup in place ALL DAY long without crusting or causing skin irritation.

Giving you that shine is the main focus of other products. enhancing your brightness in a much more natural way than those frosted purple highlighters from 2016 that we all insisted on purchasing. Look no further than Vieve's Skin Nova if you're seeking for one of those.

However, Maybelline's new Instant Anti-Age Perfector 4-In-1 Glow is the ideal illustration of what a contemporary primer looks like. It dithers, smoothes, brightens, and adds brightness. In essence, it's a sheer base that offers you beautiful skin whether worn by itself or enhances your foundation when applied on top.

Oh, and if you want a little additional grip for your makeup, we also put the best cosmetic setting sprays to the test throughout the course of a day.
