    Separates

    Im not sure if it’s my skin type or my foundation I use. Every time I’ve used the primer my makeup ends up separating. I use the elf satin glow foundation that always looks better on its own.

    I noticed a difference in my pores after applying this product. I paired it with the elf hydro grip primer.

    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!

    My favorite primer

    This is my go to every time. I got some from my Daughter in law. And I was hooked. I bought the 3 minis and I still like this one the most. I wear it with and without makeup. I’m 65 and it’s perfect for me.
