I've been looking for a primer that will help prolong the wear of foundation around my oily nose and chin. While what I've tried so far has made things a little better, overall I haven't found anything significant. Until now!

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Blemish-less, $36/1.7oz

This is supposed to help with blemishes, blur imperfections, reduce oiliness & redness and feel soothing while also calming redness. I've found that it does blur imperfections somewhat and feels soothing, but the main thing I've noticed is that I get less oily. This, in turn definitely helps the wear time of any foundation I wear over it, all without feeling dry! I blot much less during the day, and at the end of the day I notice very little foundation movement/separation. Definitely a step up from any other primer in my arsenal.

I don't have a ton of redness, so I can't say if it calms flare ups or inflammation, but it does feel soothing. It has a very light, lotion-gel texture that feels really comfortable going on...not heavy or suffocating in the slightest. This hasn't yet help combat breakouts or clogs, but it definitely hasn't contributed to any additional spots or clogs either!

Overall, this has helped with my main concern - oiliness and longer foundation wear - so I'm very happy! Have you tried the Blemish-less primer from Laura Mercier? What did you think?
