it's a decent primer but it doesn't work the best for my personally and when i play my sports it doesn't always keep my makeup on, but it's good for when i'm doing other daily tasks.
Works well!

It is greasy and smells like tea tree oil. It leaves my face SUPER dry and looking flaky. Not good at all.

I know there has been a big fuss online about the pumps but this primer has only lasted me a week and it smells very plastic-y almost like when plastic melts in the dishwasher or something. The primer also did NOT do what it claimed to. It made my makeup look very patchy
not a fan of this one

First, the product smells a little plasticy but I can get over that, but I wasn't thrilled with how the foundation and this primer reacted on my skin. it says pore less but it made my pores more noticeable and foundation looked caked on. I ordered a different primer hoping that it works better

Look is fine when on, but its super greasy and smells like gasoline, I just felt I was smearing chemicals onto my skin. It's my least favorite ELF product so far. Really wanted to love it but was so disappointed 😞 I'm gonna chuck this one.

This primer looks amazing as a base, but as someone with oily skin it doesn't last very long.

This product was not what I expected it to be. I thought it was going to make my make up more smooth. I put it on and then apply my base. It made my face look even worse with out it. It looked like I had scales on my face. Like it was so dry. NOT sure what happened but I wasted my makeup. These products are not cheap. So for it not to work and waste it. Is a lot of money. I just don't have that to waste on products.
Terrible deception

Silky smooth texture but terrible deceiving packaging. There is next to no product in it, and the actual product is basically only in the cap. What looks like product in the bottle is just coloured plastic. If it was packaged less wastefully I may have considered buying more, but 10x plastic for 0.1x product is not worth it.
Finally and decent primer.

I have always had terrible luck with primers under my makeup, most of the ones I have used don't feel like they are actually making a difference and honestly make it feel like my makeup is sliding off my face. Finding this primer made a huge difference in my overall makeup look, it works great for oily to combination skin and I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good primer.
Quite good

Feels a bit oily but besides that it's bearable. It absorb quickly and is a good primer for people new to makeup. Overall I liked it

It's a fine enough product, but the texture is very greasy feeling. It did smooth my pores, but I just feel like there are better options available for a similar price, even other options from ELF.
What's with all of the plastic?

I bought this primer based on the reviews of the product, and while I have no issues with the primer itself, the size of the container is misleading. In very fine print on the container it states 0.47oz. Literally less than 1/2 an ounce. However, the size of the container leads one to believe there is a lot more product in there. Why package only 0.47 of an ounce in a container this large with only a small center tube containing the product? I literally used it a few times a week for a month and it was gone. When it stopped pumping product I opened it thinking it was plugged. Nope. A tube less than 1/2 inch across and 7/8 inch deep was the only reservoir for the product. Could you not have packaged this in a tube with the contents clearly visible to the buyer? In an era of trying to reduce wasteful packaging ELF needs to do better!

This is the worst primer I've ever used. First off, the smell is horrid! Second, it foes not hide pores, in fact it sits in fine lines and makes them stand out even more after applying foundation. I'll never buy this again. Total waste of money.
Melts 😭😭

This is actually the worst primer I have ever had. The sad part is that this was the first primer I ever had, I don’t know if I was supposed to, but when I used makeup with it it just melts :( I was really excited to use this too bc pink is my fav color and it’s pink :( hopefully I can find a new primer!!
Great product for Price, even on more mature skin.

Actually used this by curiosity, it was in my daughters makeup case. I was really surprised by how well it evened out my skin texture. It did not crease up in my fine lines. Super smooth finish. Cons: has a weird smell when you put it on.
Wish this was a moisturizer!

I have tried so many primers and I use both the hydrating one and then this over the hydrating. I also use this sometimes over areas of my finished makeup to take away the shine. This one leaves a beautiful smooth finish. I just gently dab it on and smooth a bit for that. I use a full pump when I put it over my serum and moisturizer. I also love the smell.
LOVE IT

I just started using this before I put on my make up. It works amazing. It gives a really smooth touch and it makes my face not shiny and you can’t see my pores and my make up just goes on so much better. I’m in love with this.
