After thoroughly testing each product, we ultimately found a winner.

With our favorite primer in your makeup bag, you’ll never call foundation an enemy again.

You just can’t forget to actually apply it first!

Fenty Beauty primer

So without further ado, here are The List Beauty Awards: primer edition.

Appearing as a pink lotion, this primer is light and hydrating, and foundation absorbs into it easily.

We really can’t love this primer any more.

Tatcha primer

And as it turns out, theTatcha Mini Liquid Silk Canvasexceeded our expectations.

But if your brand loyalty is with Tatcha, you’re able to’t go wrong here, either.

The Ordinary has become well-known for delivering effective products at an extremely efficient cost.

Healthy Skin Primer

Like the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Primer, the Ordinary High-Adherence Silicone Primer is a great all-purpose foundation.

The Ordinary has you covered!

That being said, everyone’s skin is different.

The MAC Prep + Prime might not be for everyone

As for The List, we’ll be sticking with our favorite from now on.
