e.l.f. Cosmetics Poreless Putty Primer

Most Helpful Critical Review

Neutral...

This didn't erase my pores visually (before applying foundation) but after foundation application pores weren't an issue. This definitely gave my makeup some longevity and my oils did end up peaking out after about 6-8 hours but it wasn't something a little blotting and touch-up powder couldn't hand...le. I only used it a few times until I made up my mind that it wasn't for me and here's why... 1. Time/Money. This will only benefit in my t-zone; I'd have to use a different primer on the outside of it. That's an extra step that I won't typically have time for. Plus, I'd be spending money for two primers when I already know a primer that will cover all of my concerns. Many makeup users will not find these points as an issue, but this is just one of the reasons I stopped reaching for it. 2. This was the biggest one...it's very uncomfortable packaging. If you have long nails it's hard to pick up the product. Your finger will warm up the product so trying to use a sponge or brush would be even more difficult. It's a putty, which means things will cling to it. It doesn't matter how clean my fingers were, lint got stuck in it because of the surrounding movement in my vanity area (lint is always in the air). Just seeing the lint cling to something that needed to be applied to my face turned me off. Like I said, my reason for discontinuing use was personal. My situation and views does not fit to everyone else's lifestyle but if you're anything like me (time and money saver + icked out by foreign objects in your things) you may want to give it a double thought or try it out & just be mindful of these things.
