Please recommend your favorite:

• facial primer
• eyeshadow primer
• concealer (dark undereye circles, yuck)
• is there something that I can use to "bighten" my skin?
• finishing powder
• the one product that you can't be without

I'm olive complexion with pretty normal skin. sometimes a bit oily in the t-zone but nothing that some blotting tissues can't control. 

I know that this has been asked a million times before, my apologies!

• Facial primer - MAC Prep + Prime
  
• eyeshadow primer - UD or Chanel Long Lasting Concealer
  
• concealer (dark undereye circles, yuck) - Chanel Long Lasting Concealer
• is there something that I can use to "bighten" my skin?  I use Origins Vita Zing moisturizer but got a sample of Chanels Le Blanc Brightening moisturizer and people said it really made my face glow.  The price tag is really hefty for that so not sure I would ever buy it.
  
• finishing powder - MAC Prep and Prime Translucent Powder
  
• the one product that you can't be without - Lipgloss
  

I have the same kind of skin and my oily spots are kept under control with what I use.

I just used any fragrance-free silicone serum for a primer, really depends on your skin type.  My one prod I can't be without is a spf 15 gentle daily lotion.  There are lots that work.  My skin has become completely different after incorporating a daily spf into my skin care routine 3 years ago.  My foundation looks better, my lips look better, my undereye area looks better.  Better I say.
