e.l.f. Liquid Poreless Putty Primer, Lightweight Face Primer For Long-lasting Makeup Wear, Creates A Smooth Complexion, Vegan & Cruelty-free

I have been over, under and through the primer wars. None of the over half a dozen I've tried delivered on their dual promise: to minimize the appearance of pores and wrinkles, and to keep makeup firmly plastered to my face until I washed it off.All my previous primers did a halfway decent job as pore minimizers, but all failed utterly at keeping makeup in place all day. At best I'd get four hours of a "freshly made up" look before makeup melted away completely.The past year my go to has-been elf's poreless putty primer, which I use on most of my combo face. I use elf's matte primer on my nose and chin because those areas remain oily even at 62. Neither retains my makeup all day, but they were the best I could find (without paying a not so small fortune).I like elf's products very much, especially their cc camo cream foundation and makeup misting & setting spray, and decided to give this new liquid primer of theirs a try. My expectations weren't high.I am pleasantly gobsmacked, because *this* primer delivers beautifully on all counts! It's the primer I've wanted my whole adult life. It does a superior job of masking pores and fine lines, firstly. But far more importantly: it keeps my makeup looking great all day long!It goes on a bit thick but I have no difficulty applying & spreading with my fingers so long as I work quickly. It sets up fast too, taking no more than a minute, and provides a nice smooth even canvas for foundation or blush. I didn't notice much of an improvement in my skin's appearance with the poreless putty primer but definitely see a big improvement in skin appearance and texture with the liquid primer. It's the first primer I've found that seriously improves the appearance of my skin even without makeup.I have combo skin, and would say that this primer is very slightly on the matte side. It keeps the oil on my nose and chin at bay all day (which is epic) yet somehow softens my fine lines and subdues my pores without drying my skin. It's bloody miraculous.It's taken a lot of years and money, but I do believe I've finally found my Holy Grail of Primers!

Great for making application of foundation smoother. Wish I'd begun using this sooner!

I have maturing, combination, acne prone, oily skin with large pores on my nose. This doesn’t irritate my skin and it actually compliments my skin better than other primers, even high end ones. While it doesn’t cover my pores much when they’re most noticeable, it does a great job of making my foundation and skin look great the rest of the time.

love this primer ! keeps my make up matte look & in place all day ! gives poreless look . makes my make up look SO smooth . literally have to scrub off remaining spots of makeup when i wash my face cuz the primer has such a strong hold & its cheap & affordable for when i run out . best primer i've had so far !

I have never used a primer before and now I wish I had done this sooner! I haven't put foundation over it yet as I find I like this primer more then I ever liked my foundation. As an aged woman make up just doesn't look very good anymore but this primer does! It does not make my face look oily, it doesn't looked like cake face, it stands up to all day wear, it holds up to hot day sweating, and it doesn't rub off on my husband's shirt when I hug him which he greatly appreciates LOL! This is very light weight and goes on easy.

I was hoping I would like this primer, but after using it for a few weeks, it’s just not doing it for me. It goes on smooth and clear and It does an ok job at concealing larger pores, but I think it could better. For the price point, it is a good value. Was packaged well and nothing leaked from the bottle during shipment process.

What can I say. Elf makes outstanding products. I use alot of them. This is a great addition for my lightweight foundation. It lasts all day

It feels super smooth and soft on my skin, like a little velvety hug before makeup. It helps blur pores and keeps my makeup in place without feeling heavy or sticky. Plus, it controls shine pretty well. Definitely one of my go-to primers!
