Bare Minerals vs Smashbox?

[Chevybaby]

I'm looking at getting a new primer. I currently use Benefit That Girl but it doesn't wow me so I've looked at some others and I like the look of:

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
+
BareMinerals Prime Time

I love that bare minerals is all natural and promises it's good for my dry skin - I notice it has aloe in it. It also gets great reviews by consumers

But Smashbox gets rave reviews in the magazines and I know the brand has good staying power I'm a big fan of the eyeliner!

Opinions?

I love smash box, I've tried loads of primers and this one is by far the best.

Hourglass make the best primer that I have ever come across. I think that the Smashbox ones are overrated. Illamasqua and Laura Mercier are the ones I have in my kit, Hourglass I reach for myself most often.

I used to like Lancôme's La Base, super smooth skin & long lasting.
Out of the ones you've asked about Id say smash box out of the two.

I love both. I have stopped using my bare minerals one for a while because it isn't Oil free.

I love the Laura Geller one, spackle, you can get clear / champagne or Tan, you can buy a large one for a good price and lasts forever!
