Which Primer Works Best in Really Hot Weather?
I Tested 4 Primers During the Hottest Weekend of My Life — Here's Which 1 Held Up

The first primer up to bat was Maybelline's Master Prime ($10), which I was praying would do the job because my lineup of activities on Thursday included an all-day event on a roof deck of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, then attending a happy hour, and finally a Cubs game at night.
Since I'd be surrounded by other journalists I've never met before at these events, I wanted to make a good impression. I also knew I wouldn't have much time in between each activity to touch up my face.
Fortunately Master Prime promised to blur any imperfections (which I needed for my a giant chin pimple that developed during my two-hour flight) and defend my skin from the sun. It boasts SPF 30 and a lightweight, non-greasy formula that supposedly won't clog your pores.
So, how did it work?
