jane iredale Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer

Complexion USA Approx. $57

The mineral house's primer, with a silicone base for the blur and apple, white tea and algae extracts for the skincare argument. It brightens a little and smooths a lot, and the brand suggests it as a night product too, which is unusual for a primer and tells you how it feels.
