    Great product

    I used this for so long before jelly pop primer became my favourite. I've switched back to this again recently. This product gives the best smooth base. Although it doesn't give a completely poreless look, I have found this product to be the best poreless primer available. I recommend this over the elf poreless primer, especially if your face products are water based as the elf poreless primer is oil based I believe, and this product is water based. The elf poreless putty is also pretty useful at being poreless. Holds makeup in place with little caking for a good duration. Overall best primer available for poreless, hold and little caking

    Love this

    I love all of the putty primer. But this one is this best in my opinion. It feels so nice gliding on the skin and does so much blurring!

    Good base, blurs a little

    For a primer, this one I think works better than the liquid putty version. It goes on a bit streaky with the putty brush but it does blur pores a bit. I like how it doesn't dry out my skin or pills. I put mineral powder foundation over it and it works well, as long as I set it with setting spray. I think i like the luminous one more for that glow and it also has more coverage, but they always seem to be out. This does run out pretty quick if you plan on having good coverage.

    Great balance for oily skin

    I am surprised to like this as much as I do. My skin leans toward shiny, so I typically have to stay away from luminous or dewy descriptions. But this provides a perfect balance when I pair it with my mattifying foundation and powder. Just enough glow without being shiny!

    (no review title)

    I have very dry skin, which tends to look dry and flaky when I use foundation, but this primer really helps to even out my skin texture and helps my makeup apply smoothly. It goes on sort of like a lotion (I just use my fingers to apply, but I think e.l.f supplies brushes for this primer) and helps my skin feel a little more moisturized throughout the day.

    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.

    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
