e.l.f. Putty Primer - 0.74oz

easy to apply, not cakey, leaves my skin smooth, love the color,great price

I love this primer and it's currently all I use. It feels so soft on my skin and leaves it smooth for foundation. I don't feel oily or greasy after using it. I haven't noticed anything smudging or moving on my makeup.

I was skeptical about primers until recently (at over 50), but I was pleasantly surprised. It makes my make-up go on so much smoother and the luminous is apparently good for my spots. In any case, this has become part of my make-up routine to stay.

My favorite no pores on sight

I love this primer so much

It just can’t stand against power grip. I like putting it on with the brush but when it comes time to repurchase I will stick to power grip.

Does nothing for my pale skin type. Doesn’t cover redness, doesn’t create an even surface to apply concealer. It just dries up and flakes on my skin, even when I’ve already applied moisturizer. Would not purchase again.

Gives base a really really. Nice shine. One of my favorite products by far

It does it's job perfectly, I'm just more of a power grip girlie. It made my pores invisible and held my makeup on very well.

I bought this first in Nov 2023 and liked it. Since then, I’ve tried 3 other primers and finally came back to this. I’m in my 50s and pores are becoming more visible. This doesn’t completely hide them but does a really nice job blurring them. I’m about to purchase my 2d tub.

I hate literally everything about this primer: the packaging (why do I have to put my finger in it to apply?!), the feel, and most especially the complete lack of any sort of staying power. My makeup is sliding off my face within a few hours, by the end of the work day I look like I didn't even bother to put any on! I have been using this for a couple of week, so I really did give it a good try, it just doesn't work at all for me. I used to use ELF pink primer that had tea tree oil and kaolin clay in it and it was my HG product, I miss it so much! Why do companies always discontinue perfect products?

So for reference my skin for the most part is clear, I definitely get breakouts on my forehead, and the lower half of my face (chin, jawline, and neck). I have combination skin, I’m a little bit more oily though. I do also tend to have a lot larger pores in my t-zone so I’m always on the look out for great primers these days that help minimize pores and help my makeup stay on and look flawless 24/7. I have used this product on and off over the last month, probably used it about 5x in total. I have to say the product was very underwhelming to me, which I was very sad and upset about. I’m not sure if I was supposed to use this primer along with another primer, but I noticed whenever I used this product my skin would be 1000% oily within a few hours of using it, my pores were bigger than the moons craters, and my makeup WOULD NEVER STAY ON!!! I would think I was looking cute all day then by the end I’d really look at my face and I was SHOOKETH. Lol The application of the product was seamless I will admit, it applies smoothly and shows up “clear or sheer”. I will NOT be purchasing this product ever again. I’m sad I can’t return it since I used it a few times but whatever. If you ladies want a great primer definitely try the elf power grip primer with niacin**something lol it’s the power grip primer the pink one! That one grips your makeup and does help minimize the appearance of your pores.

I am 69 and I use this before applying foundation. It really smooths my whole face appearance. Highly recommend.

I have very oily and shiny skin. I was hoping this would help. I used it and used a powder foundation and blush with it. I had about 5-6 hours before any shine came back which I thought was pretty good. Would recommend!

I purchased mainly to help combat my pores. For me it didn’t cover my pores like what I was hoping it would do

I have oily skin and this primer works wonders. I’ve tried many primers to manage my skin and this has been the best one. My skin stayed matte for over 14 hours! I also want to mention I have huge pores and this primer made my face look so beautiful, my huge pores were non existent. I will never pay $40 and up for high end primer again, this stuff is great!

I never used this product consistently before. Great cover for imperfections prior to foundation application.

It goes on smooth, gives your skin a cool moist feeling. I didn’t feel like it lasted all day.

This putty primer does work. Make sure to apply it all over the face, and wait a few minutes before applying liquid or powder makeup. It doesn’t dry the skin or make it more oily.

It feels soothing on the skin and I've also noticed my breakouts have calmed down too.
