what is a good kinda face primer

i've seen some vids from youtube about milk of magnesia, they say it's good for oily/combination skin. i haven't tested it though 'coz it's not available here in the philippines. the only brand available are those with magnesium plus aluminum stuff. i don't know if that'll work though, so i'm trying to buy one abroad. i'm asking my friend in canada to buy one for me and i'm yet to test it. i've also heard of the smashbox photo finish primer, they say it's good. i personally haven't used any primer before. but considering the price, i think i try milk of magnesia first then i'll try other branded primers as well. let me know if you have used any primers and what you think about it. n_n

Try Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. I haven't tried it yet but I heard many raves about it. It is heaven sent for oily skinned people because it really does control the oil production on your face. Thus, fresh looking makeup is obtained for longer period of time. :)

I recommend Urban Decay's Poison. I hear it's the best on the market. I'm having a hard time grabbing this here in the Philippines but I hope to try it by December.
