What is your face primer preference for staying power?

I need a good face primer to make my foundation last all day, in most conditions.
Any suggestions.
I was considering Smashbox photo finish, and Makeup forever Hd primer.

As a makeup artist, my work has to last and in order to ensure that it does I not only use face primer I also use others for specific areas of the face. Here's what I use most often:

Face - NARS face primer with spf
It really helps foundation go on smoother, stay longer, and it has spf! Definitely worth the splurge.
*Smashbox photo finish is a nice one, MUFE HD is also nice, but NARS is my favorite.

Eyes - Lancome Aquatique
This is one of my beauty favorites. I wear it myself every day I put makeup on and put it under every eye product. Even when I use put eyeliner on myself or clients, I use this as a base from lash line to brow line. It brightens up the eyes tremendously and prevents creasing all day when set with a powder. I've even worn it in the sauna for 30 minutes last week and my shadow didn't crease!

Lips - Laura Gellar Lip Spackle
I really only apply this product when I'm doing a full lip (liner, stick and gloss), but it does work wonders. It only comes in one shade (which is pretty light), but you only need to apply a thin coat.

Hope this helps, and for product reviews and tutorials be sure to check out TheCosView.com
