    I found myself buying this primer because of the rave reviews by makeup influencers. Well, it truly is the best primer out there! It really evens out your skin tone and is great for dryness and oiliness.

    I have pretty oily skin. Most primers have not helped me keep my makeup on all day. I gave up until I saw a few reviews for this. Best risk I took. My makeup can now last 12+ hours. I stopped thinking that could happen. I highly recommend this for anyone with oily skin.

    As u said, good primer but power grip is better. Esp with the jumbo coming out. Putty wasn't my favorite but honestly it was only bc my expectations were wild bc I tried the power grip first

    I use this primer underneath my eyes as a prep for the e.l.f. Camo concealer and it works wonderfully. I have combination skin and this moisturizes my under eyes and prevents any separation or flaking while also not being too oily. :)

    Just the regular poreless putty primer, just packed full of yellow glitter. There’s nothing luminous or dewy about it, the glitter makes it look completely unnatural. Super disappointed in this.
