e.l.f. Cosmetics Poreless Face Primer

Most Helpful Critical Review

Fills lines and pores, caused my makeup to crease

So I had high hopes for this product because I've really liked some cheap drugstore primers before, but this just did not work for me. This is a silicone-based primer, so the silicone lays on top of your face and makes blending your makeup really easy on top of it. This primer also really does help ...to fill in the pores and creases in your face. That's pretty much where the good stuff ends. I find that this primer blends with the foundation and other face products which I wear, and that blend of makeup and primer settles into my creases, giving me big foundation creases under my eyes and around my nose and forehead wrinkles. It also wipes off easily, so I find my makeup sitting on top of this primer smudges off really easily, regardless of what setting spray I use. This product seems to work for many people, but I personally would not recommend it if you're at all worried about creasing or if you wear a lot of foundation. I also would really not recommend to prime your eyes for eye makeup at all, because of the creasing issues. For me and my routine, this product just did not work, but may work a lot better if you wear minimal skin makeup and want your pores and fine lines reduced.
