This one is  our personal favorite.  Elf has a vast variety of primers for all skin types. It is specially developed to combat against excess oil, flaky dryness, enlarged pores and fine lines. This primer prepares your face to stay flawless throughout the day. It is is again quite affordable around Rs. 850-950.
