e.l.f. Mineral Infused Face Primer, Primer For A Smooth Foundation Base, Fills In Fine Lines & Refines Complexion, Vegan & Cruelty-free, Small

It’s usually a tossup if I will like elf products but for the price, I am always open to try something if I hear positive reviews. I’ve been looking for a mineral based primer and this was recommended. I like the way it feels, goes on more matte and leaves skin super soft.. I can’t tell how it is for staying power with my make up but my foundation goes on very smoothly on top of it. I would recommend it if you’re looking for a lower price point primer for every day use.

I have been using this primer for quite a while. Works great and it's a great price and good value.

The face primer is excellent. It is clear drying, with no fragrance. It is also not sticky or feel as if you have residue on your face. Make up applies very nice and product stays in and place for a very long time. I live in an area where there is extreme heat and it keeps your makeup from sweating off.

So I've been wearing makeup for years, but only recently decided to Do Something about the sometimes-often 'melting makeup' look happening on my face when it hits mid-afternoon. I have combo skin in that my T-zone gets SUPER oily and my chin and cheeks do not. My skin is also stubborn in that the pores on my nose are quite large, so you can imagine how makeup might settle on my nose with a double whammy of giant pores + oil. (If you can't imagine, the oil would basically melt the makeup off, but makeup that settled into my pores would proudly stay. So I had weird dots on my nose. YIKES.) I decided I needed to change my routine, which includes adding more products like this.I normally only used a bit of primer (Benefit's Pore Professional) around my nose, but decided I would try out the full face primer to see if it helped. I still use the Pore Professional on top (seriously, my nose is SO oily, it needs all the help it can get), but I think this primer really helps keep it all together, especially on the rest of my face. The only drawback is that the bottle is quite small, as someone else mentioned. The bottle is a bit of marketing trickery, as the frosty container is just the outer shell and there is a smaller container within. Ah, well - I find that with this I only need less than a full pump (maybe 1/2 - 3/4?) to cover my entire face.I recommend lightly patting in your primer, especially around your pores. It's better to pat/tap in your moisturizer/primer vs. rubbing it in, but this is especially key for primer. Patting will settle the primer into your pores more efficiently, allowing a more even surface. You'll feel your skin get more silky, so once you think you covered everything just do a pass with your fingertips - lightly - to feel for any spots that don't seem covered.For anyone who has also suffered from "melting face", "cakey layers", and "pore pockets" here are some tips:- Allow more 'setting' time between moisturizer, sunscreen, and primer before applying actual makeup. It's like applying nail polish, you need to give it some time to dry before you start the next layer, or else you get something that gets tacky and gunky.- Stipple foundation, instead of brushing/stroking it on. Less of a chance of your brush/sponge/fingers rubbing away your carefully laid groundwork.- When all your makeup is done (foundation, colored powder, bronzer, blush, eyeshadow, etc etc. whatever your routine is), use the setting powder. I currently use NYX Cosmetics Studio Finishing Powder, Translucent Finish, 0.21 Ounce, which I LOVE. (Left a similar review there.)lightly mist your face. I currently use NYX Cosmetics Make Up Setting Spray, Matte Finish/Long Lasting, 2.03 Ounce, which the reviews mentioned is comparable to Urban Decay's All Nighter (which is TRIPLE the cost)I know it's a lot of steps, and you could probably cut out a decent amount in the middle, but considering my stubborn oily skin, this is the best for me so far. Hope that helps!

Love this primer! Clear, smooth, easy to apply. It creates a great base for my old skin.I liked it so much that I never tried the other types of Elf Primer.

I love elf primer. I've tried the color correcting, the pore reducing, the thirst burst drops and now this one. All of them are fantastic and I truly couldn't pick a favorite. They do what they say they'll do and for a fraction of the cost of high-end primers. Pick elf, you won't regret it.

I LOVE E.L.F PRIMER, YOU WILL TOO - I have oily/dry combo skin and large pores, this primer literally makes my skin silky smooth. A little goes a long way with this product, you only really need a pea-sized amount to cover your entire face which is another reason to love because this product will last quite a bit of time. And for the price, that is a total still!It helps keep my foundation, and concealer looking fresh. I sometimes even wear it by itself!LETS TALK PACKAGING - The packaging could be deceiving to someone who doesn't buy makeup often or know makeup brands well. So I wanted to tell those interested in purchasing this product, do not be afraid to buy because of the packaging. This style of packaging is common among makeup brands! I have attached images and you can see the bottle on the outside is usually always bigger than the container that holds the actual product on the inside. This is true even for Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation and Fenty Beauty Primer.E.L.F isn't deceiving anyone with their packaging! Unfortunately, people base how much product they are getting on the size of the entire bottle instead of looking at the print of what is being advertised for what they are paying for. In this case, it is .47 ounce of product. In the image Born This Way and Fit Me are both 1 fl oz. you wouldn't be able to tell they hold the exact same amount of product based on the shape of the bottles and size, you have to read the product description.In this E.L.F product description, it tells you the product is .47 ounce and the packaging is 1.6 x 1.6 x 5.5 inches ; 2.4 ounces.In my opinion, you get exactly what you pay for honest packaging, amazing quality, and affordable pricing! :) I would definitely recommend E.L.F Primer to others.

I'm indifferent about this product. Apply after face lotion/sunscreen and before applying matte powder. It seems to serve it's purpose for the most part with maintaining make up throughout the day but does leave a greasy/oily feel with touching face, especially around the T-zone. Not sure if that's related to my skin or the product.
