I've tried a few green primers and my face is still very pink. Any recommendations? Slightly hesitant to spend $40 on the Smashbox one because I've seen mixed reviews.

Yeah I honestly think the Smashbox primers are overrated – I prefer the L'OREAL drugstore color correcting primers over them actually! Have you tried them? I’m sure you have but just in case. Though lately, I’ve been using Clinique’s Anti-Redness primer, and it’s really grown on me. I liked it immediately more than the Smashbox one from the get-go, though I think it’s not the best choice for dry skin, it’ll emphasize flakiness in patches. The L'Oreal ones are good.  I think when you prep your face with a cooling toner (like cucumber water!)it does tone down redness a lot more efficiently before you even slap makeup on.
