Gel makeup primers are a dream for people with combination skin — they’re lightweight, airy and do an excellent job creating a sticky base for foundation. They also prove to be a great match for anyone with acne-prone skin, as most are non-comedogenic and don’t block your pores. Ahead, we rounded up six of our favorite gel makeup primers that will become your new favorite bases.
