In the last few weeks, these are the three glowy primers that I've been using. All three are affordable, and do a great job helping me achieve a dewy look. When using a primer, I'm looking for hydration and glow. I don't need a primer to help my makeup stay put; I'm pretty normal to dry and it stays put on it's own. The Rimmel Insta Flawless is the most natural since it dries clear and isn't as intense as the others. I could wear it on its own without foundation, where I couldn't do that with the other two. It's also the cheapest of the three, and a great starting point. The Physicians Formula Spotlight is so pretty, but has to be worn with a  foundation. You will look like a champagne Tin Man without. Don't be scared when you put it on, it looks great under foundation. I love the packaging on this one, the pump is also very nice.  It claims to "blur, correct, and protect to deliver a radiant, spotlight glow." I don't really see any blurring or correcting but the glow is there. The last primer that I've been using is the L'Oreal Magic Lumi. It feels great on the skin, and also gives me a weightless glowy base. This one is the most expensive for the amount of product that you're getting. It also has a pump. For my skin tone, I could use this to highlight my cheekbones as well. All three blend very well into my skin. I tried a white luminating base by Joe Fresh and it didn't blend well, it looked patchy under my foundation. These three don't have that issue. If I could only choose one, I would probably chose the Magic Lumi. I prefer the intensity without the champagne coloring. The Spotlight reminds me of the Becca filters which I haven't tried. Since I'm so fair, I like the white base.
