    Ineffective

    The matte putty does literally nothing. Doesn't cover pores, doesn’t control oil. The putty just seems to soak into my skin when I put it on. So disappointed, this had such good reviews. The Benefit pore primer works much better!

    It’s okay

    I was hoping it would leave a gliwly look from the hydration, but there are just specks of glitter in it. Does a decent job of filling in the pores.

    Best primer even for a 64 year old

    This is the best primer I’ve ever used. I love the pink for all over it goes on silky then I use the white putty for my t zone to take away the shine. The the yellow putty for my cheeks and anywhere you want a little glimmer. I would recommend and I will continue to buy it.

    Poreless Putty Primer

    I got to try a set of all the different mini putty primers and the poreless one was my fave. Not too waxy after applied to skin. Blurs good for being drugstore.

    Okay primer

    It’s not my favourite primer to purchase but it’s the only one that really doesn’t irritate my skin, but what sucks is I can’t find the acne fighting putty primer anymore even on the website

    Fabulous

    This is one of ELFs holy grail products, and for good reason. Excellent product especially for those like me with large pores. This is a brilliant formula with excellent staying power. Everybody I know has at least one poreless putty primer in their make up bag.

    I love this primer! I have tried others that work but are too sticky. This one is smooth, luxurious, and works very well without feeling like a mask. I recommend it!

    love

    I’ve tried a lot of primers over the years and this is by far my favorite! Some primers can be too runny and/or too sticky, but the putty primer is the perfect consistency. I have sensitive, acne prone skin and this product does not break me out at all! It is also very affordable for the amount you get which is always a plus

    Good but realized I’m not a primer girlie

    Love the texture, but realized I can’t be bothered to use primers. I find that the finish of a good foundation and a nice powder will suffice.

    It’s OK

    If you don’t have much textured skin, this is probably great for you. Unfortunately I do and so it doesn’t really cover up any texture skin that it does say or cover up any pores, but it does kinda keep a barrier between your make up in your skin.
