Please recommend great makeup primers preferably with antioxidants that leave skin sealed and dewy.

I loved a Kanebo product years ago.

I have tried Morgen Schick face primer and liked it.

Have also tried Estee Lauder Perfectionist, Origins Grin from Year to Year but they are not quite what i am looking for...but lovely products

I do not like Laura Mercier Miracle Base

My skin is normal to normal/dry with shiny nose

I am not looking for drying formula but a light reflecting, antioxidant formula possibly with silicone?

I use Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, It's silicone base but I'm not sure if it is light reflecting. It feels velvety on my skin, no shine, good underneath foundation.
I would recommend, you try first before buying it because it is expensive and you want to make sure that works for you.

Have you tried Origins A Perfect World Skin Guardian? It's a silicony type serum with white tea extract (supposedly one of the most powerful antioxidants). It smells absolutely divine. I use it as a makeup base sometimes because it makes my skin ultra smooth (I don't use it everyday). I don't think it's actually marketed as a makeup base, just as a serum. Next time you're near an Origins counter get a sample. The smell itself is worth it!
