I personally have been using Benefits The POREfessional and the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer for years, Murdick says.
Check out Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Makeup Primer with Niacinamide or JOAH Super Sidekick Mattifying Primer.
If youre looking for an affordable option to try, get the Colourpop Pretty Fresh Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Primer.
Glow-Boosting
Want an extra boost of glowy sheen?
Murdick says to choose a product that not only boosts moisture, but offers an extra dose of radiance.
We love Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Illuminating Primer.
If you experience makeup pilling, this is probably an indication that two products arent working well together.
