My makeup isn't staying on. I have this on and setting spray. When I just do the setting spray it works so much better.

good! just don't leave it in the mailbox
Its way bigger than I thought it would be. I think it works great. just for your own good don't leave it in the mailbox. It doesn't renew the product just melts it temporarily. otherwise great.

It’s Nicee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted this primer stick by elf/Influesnter in exchange for an honest review. I do like this primer stick, I like that it feels a little cooking. I like how it wears under my makeup. I will be honest and say however I do have primers I reach for over this one, but it is a nice primer. It is affordable and does its job.

Cooling
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The e.l.f. Stay Cool Primer Stick is such a refreshing game-changer in my makeup routine! The cooling sensation feels amazing on the skin—especially in the morning or on hot days—and it instantly wakes up my face while creating a smooth base for makeup. It glides on effortlessly, doesn’t feel greasy, and helps my foundation go on evenly and last longer. I love how portable it is—perfect for tossing in my bag for touch-ups or a midday refresh. It also feels hydrating without making my skin oily, and it works well for both no-makeup days and full glam looks. For the price and performance, this primer stick is a must-try. It’s the perfect mix of skincare and makeup prep in one easy step!

Perfect for sometimes
The cooling and the smoothing are nice. IMO it’s miss related to the glassy skin look than to solid grip for your makeup, but for times you aren’t outside a ton, it’s super hydrating when dealing with extra hvac and again, so smoothing.

Okay but makes my makeup peel
I was eager to try this product when it first came out. I was then super disappointed when the primer kinda left "crumb"-like peels on my skin. I personally didn't think it was tacky, but instead heavy. I would not recommend this product knowing elf has better primers.

Decent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like this primer is very sticky (which is ok for a primer) but feels SO HEAVY on my skin. I don't like the texture it leaves. There isn't much of a scent to it. It does glide over the skin and is a bit oily.
