I have combo skin, when i first put my foundation on my face it feels so dry and rough. But with this it feels like my skins made of velvet and that no amount of foundation or powder could dry it out. Ive used this product many times and it always makes me feel like i have soft skin
My skin is really dry and I'd just discovered primer. The poreless primer was amazing but I figured that hydrating would be even better. I was wrong. It is sticky and made my skin burn. I tried it with different foundations to be sure it wasn't just the new ELF foundation I got with it, and it was the same result. It's decent if I put on a ton of powder, but that generally makes my dry spots stand out even more. I'm going back to the ELF poreless!

I put a bit on my face mixed with bare minerals tinted ginger. I love the results. Both are my complete favorites. ELF PRIMER is my complete favorite vs. any other primer I have used.

I REALLY wanted to love this. I did. I have dry skin and needed a primer that would do more than one job so I tried this out. This stuff is sooo slick that my makeup sits directly on top of it and whenever I turn my homework in to my teachers it has brown fingerprints all over it bc my makeup cannot absorb. I'm serious do not buy this unless you live in the desert.

Makes my face a little oily but other then that the best primer I ever bought

I do not like this. The consistency of this primer is oily slick. It felt like I layered my face with petroleum jelly. It gave a poreless effect on my skin, but the texture and that immense plastic smell is awful.

This product is my original purchase and my most favorite! It works great for me and I love the silky feel on my face all day long! Gives me the illusion it is working in my favor through the day!

This primer does make my makeup stay on significantly longer then other primera but it does not hydrate my skin. My skin doesn't soak it in, instead it lays in my skin and acts as a barrier to cover any blemishes or pores that are visible.

Not sure where the negative reviews about the smell are from. I'm really extremely sensitive to smells and I don't find anything offensive about it at all. I do shake it before using. Perhaps that's the issue for those who find it oily and smelly. I only use a small amount. Primers are not meant to be caked on. A little goes a long way. I like this primer so far.

This product takes the place of a daytime moisturizer. I love the way it feels on my skin! I use an SPF 20 powder foundation for the sun protection I need.

I have oily skin and this made it 10x worse. The cap to dispense the product doesn't work after 4 uses. Do your self a favor and don't get this!
Naomi from Arkansas
I orders this primer because I hated wearing moisturizer u fer my primer. Do I decided buying this would allow me to skip a step. Well… it did allow me to skip moisturizer but when you put it on it doesn't sink into your skin. It just sits there. First time I used it I was like okay maybe it'll absorb in an hour or so. Yeah, no. All day it just sat on top of my skin and my makeup sat on top of the primer. If you even THINK abt touching your face… don't. It will come off wet on your fingers as if you just applied it. And I can't even say how many pillows and shirts I've stained cuz I layer my head down on them. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Trust me, it will do more harm then help.

I bought this, used it once, and absolutely hated it. I use the poreless putty primer and love it- but will never use this again. It made my skin greasy, smelled bad, and came off whenever I touched my face making my hands greasy. My brushes and sponges got greasy and gross and left residue in my powder. I'm sad I hated it so much because I bought a big bottle as I love most elf products. do not recommend!

I know I don't write good reviews for products I'm one of those people, but somehow some lightest thing has actually cured my rosacea which is an absolute miracle so I had to give it a good review. Without it my face will go red
Nicole W from Colorado
Will not buy again. Way too heavy and not moisturizing
Jewels from Utah
it works well to not dry out your skin, but i wouldnt count on it for longevity
Mother of 12 from Tennessee
My skin has been all kinds of weird lately and I've tried all kinds of primers but this one feels like velvet on my skin. It kept my makeup looking amazing all day and my face never once felt dried out. I've never loved a makeup product this much before!!!!
SavEdwards from Columbus
it made my concealer way to oily and it would stick to my skin!
Jenny from Nixon
Before I purchased this, I read the comments and ignored many of them and I regret purchasing this product, it smells horrible, definitely DO NOT recommend!!!
Bon from Indiana
Great product
Nata from No
It fills in my pores and make my fine lines appear less it's to oily on my nose but on my eye area and my cheeks it works
kp from Carson City
I love this for my dry skin & the price is great too.
Emily ZP from Eugene
I liked that it's kind of oily because my skin absorbs oil well for hydration, but thats not for everyone. It smells like a grease trap. Burned, rancid, greasy fat.
