Hydrating primers are the best if you are looking for a nice, natural glow in your makeup look that also avoids cakey-ness. Here are some of the best hydrating primers!
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer: This is my absolute favorite gripping primer! It is a hydrating gel that becomes tacky so that whatever you apply on top “grips” to it and stays in place all day. If you struggle with getting a longer wear time with your makeup, you should try this one!
NYX Plump Right Back Plumping Serum & Primer: This primer will leave you with a smooth canvas that enhances your skin tone and keeps your foundation looking #flawless all day and looks amazing paired with a high-end looking lippie.
Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer: This is such a refreshing primer, like a nice tall drink of water for the skin. If your complexion is feeling dull and you’re looking to add some extra moisture, you’ll love this one. It’s iconic for a reason!
Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer: If you want a primer that will not only hydrate the skin but will also create a smooth poreless base, you’re going to love this one. While it is the priciest primer on this list, it is worth the splurge!
Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Hydrating Primer: If you’re looking to double up on the moisture before makeup, this is a beautiful primer that will help you achieve that. Skin prep is so important and if you skimp on the moisturizer, this will help you create the perfect base for makeup.
L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion: Ideal for those with combination skin, it provides a beautiful dewy finish every time. Pair her with a nice, glowy cream bronzer from the drugstore for an even better look!
Milani Skin Quench Hydrating Primer: This is a wonderful alternative to the Laura Mercier primer I mentioned above but also helps create a little blurring effect.

NYX Professional Makeup Marshmellow Smoothing Primer: I love the sweet scent of this primer, but I really enjoy the finish this gives the skin. It’s hydrating and moisturizing while also creating a soft blurred effect to the skin. It’s very subtle but a fantastic base before makeup.
