Love the silky feel of it
I used the elf primer in the pink tube but didn’t feel like I was getting what I should out of it. So I decided to try this one after taking the skin quiz to find my best match and ended up with this being the one for me. It has the same silky feel as the pink one but this actually blurs some of my fine lines. I have a before and after picture on my hand and there is a difference. I notice it on my face. I glides on and spreads very easily and does very well under my makeup. A little bit goes a long way.This is the first primer I have tried that actually does blur my fine lines. They are by no means gone but they are diminished some and I’ll take that. I would recommend this to my friends and amily and I will be buying it again. For reference, I’m 55 years old.

BEST Primer I’ve found!
I love this primer! It’s easy to apply, smoothing, and feels great! My makeup definitely looks smoother and requires less when applying. My ONLY and BIG complaint is that the size of the bottle is highly deceiving! There is very little product inside – in a very small tub within the bottle. Open the top and take a look for yourself! They really need to address this for the price of the product. Other than that, still love it, but am constantly looking for something that works the same, but provides a more reasonable amount for the price.

Feels luxurious on skin
I bought the E.L.F. primer when I switched from liquid foundation to Laura Geller powder foundation. (A primer was suggested in one of the LG reviews.) I had not used a primer before but am very pleased with using both products now, except that the LG foundation is much more expensive than I am used to. The primer feels wonderful on my skin. I use it after I apply my moisturizer and before applying foundation.

Perfect for 53 old skin
I don’t know why I keep buying other primers, thinking something will be better.I am 53 y/o with rosy undertones in my skin. Live in very low humidity climate so dry skin all the time. This primer helps lessen the redness and puts down a nice “canvas” on my skin, to put foundation over.Note – a little goes a long way. If you overdo it, your foundation and this primer will cake together. A 1/2 pump works perfect for me with Cover Girl Clean foundation.

Perfect base
I was looking for a light product to cover a couple of point with redness in my face. This is great and leave the skin smooth and perfect. I don’t use almost make up but if you do this product will set the face perfect for the next step It’s cruelty free and vegan. I like this company very much. Price is pocket friendly 😁

Great for blurring out pores.
Mid 40’s MUA and I swear by this primer! It’s an incredibly affordable primer that works to blur and minimize the appearance of pores. I don’t wear liquid foundation, only powder foundation and this product preforms beautifully underneath a thin concealer and loose powder base. Pro tip: Spray your setting spray on after you lay your primer down, THEN do your foundation over that. Then set with spray afterwards. Not only does this keep your makeup on but it will further blur out those fine lines and wrinkles in your skin if you have large pores or any kind of texture. HIGHLY recommend!

Good primer, not a huge color corrector
It goes on super light and smooth and didn’t add to any oiliness throughout the day (actually I had less). It made my makeup glide on really smoothly and filled in some fine lines, etc, but didn’t do much (if anything) for my redness. A good primer, but I’ll still be hunting for something that color-corrects more effectively.

I’ve never used primer before, I don’t know if I’m using it right, which also means that I have no idea if it’s as good as it is. It’s definitely moisturizing though, so.

With my first usage I was amazed at the light texture. If silk could be applied as a product for the face, this would be it.It’s also designed for the more mature skin. It compliments the makeup!

Pores simply disappear under your makeup
It’s so lightweight and spreads so smoothly. My makeup looked flawless and the value is incredible compared to most pore correctors

Hydrating and Game Changer!
The media could not be loaded.
This makeup primer is a definite game-changer. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry, and it makes a noticeable difference in the application of my makeup. I’ve experienced that my makeup tends to feel more cakey with non-hydrating primers or without any primer at all, so this one has been a savior!One issue I encountered was when I mixed it with a brightening primer—it caused my foundation to become chunky and not stick well. Lesson learned: I now use it on its own, and it works like a charm. If you get this primer, maybe avoid mixing it with others to ensure a flawless finish. 👍

Compliments on my complexion
For me this primer does exactly what it says. I like how it goes on and how it feels on. It performs well all day. And people have noticed the difference in the more even look of my skin. It’s my favorite primer. I tried more expensive ones that didn’t do a thing. I’m hooked on this. And you cannot beat it for value.

It helps to apply my foundation by putting this stuff on first. Without these it doesn’t even out very well. Also it was cheaper to get here than in the store. Subscribe and save keeps me supplied and I don’t have to think about going out to get it 🙌🏻

First time using this thing
I don’t wear much makeup but my sister has been teaching me and suggested one this. I just opened Amazon and got the first brand (this) that I found with decent reviews. I was surprised when I saw the effect on my skin, I didn’t know that you can make your facial lines soft, especially around eyes. I love this thing. Sometimes I use it without more makeup because it makes my skin look soft and hydrated.

Works great
I have a few elf products but this is my favorite. I use Clinique foundation and this stuff helps to smooth the makeup on evenly. I used to use a moisturizer but for me this works better under foundation. With a moisturizer I find myself sweating off most of my makeup. This seems to set the foundation nicely. The only issue I have is it’s hard to tell when it’s about to run out. In the future I will make sure I have an extra. For the price you can’t beat it!

Amazing! Works very well
I tried this the other day and was shocked at how nice it is. I know “shocked” is a heavy word to use, but I could not believe how this this makes my skin feel. It does everything it says it does. By making my skin so smooth and soft is how it helps to decrease lines. This is very nice under foundation, but it is very nice alone! I’m definitely making sure I do not run out of this.

The Best Elf on the Shelf
Ok So I’ve had many different primers I have used or tried out. This Elf poreless face primer is by far my Favorite. It goes on smooth and gives your skin a chilled feeling that absorbs well. It doesn’t stay on too thick or greasy. I wear it by itself sometimes which makes my skin look and feel great. It definitely is a really solid and workable base underneath foundation that helps everything go on smooth and stay put through out the day. One of the best products Elf makes by far!
