Oily skin isn't a good idea
3/5

I was disappointed with this primer because I could tell it wouldn't do its job as soon as I applied it. It felt slimy on my face, but I wanted to give it a chance, so I went back to applying makeup. My face glistened and I appeared to be sweating less than three hours later, so I had to blot. Even though I only use a thin layer of medium coverage foundation and powder, it makes my makeup look cakey. I wanted to try something different because I usually use Rimmel Stay Matte primer, which I really enjoy. I'd heard nothing but good things about this Elf primer. I'm afraid I'll have to stick to my old habits.

This is the first time I've ever purchased primer
5/5

I wanted to dabble in make-up more, but I'd never used primer before. I was recommended this brand's eye primer by a friend, but I ended up purchasing this one instead. I was hoping to get the eye primer, but I'm not disappointed with what I got. My skin is clear and doesn't get oily, so I don't use much foundation or concealer. I can't complain because it worked well as an eyeshadow primer! Here are a few of the looks I've created with it so far: br>br>con: Please accept my apologies for some of my more interesting photographs br>br> I do not recommend this product to those with oily skin because it feels very wet and greasy.

As stated in the advertisement
5/5

It isn't the best primer I've ever used, but it isn't bad either. I apply the Elizabeth Mott Thank You Later primer first, then the Elf on top, for a smooth, flawless finish. If I don't, the Elf will fill my pores with white stuff, giving the appearance of whiteheads.

It has a lot of substance
3/5

To scoop up the product, which is similar to a heavy clay/cream, you'll need a small spatula. I work in a humid room and live in a very hot, dry desert. The swamp cooler is turned on, making it hot and stuffy. After hearing great things about this primer from an Instagram influencer, I decided to give it a shot. Because it applies like a thick chunky cream, only a small amount is required. Overall, the primer does not perform as well as the primer I purchased from a department store. I had hoped that this would work as well, but it doesn't. Within two days, my face and make-up had failed. I worked for three hours. My make-up had separated and I was gleaming and oily. I'm extremely dissatisfied because I had high expectations for this primer.

Like the Elf poreless putty primer from the beginning
5/5

I recently resumed working at the office and am required to wear a mask in public areas. My cheeks and nose were becoming extremely oily, and I had to powder throughout the day due to the mask rubbing off some makeup. I didn't want to use a matte foundation, so I looked into matte primers instead. I really like the regular Elf Poreless Putty Primer, so I decided to try this one out as well. It applies similarly silky and provides similar pore coverage, but man, does it last longer. My mask comes off with a lot less make-up on it. It also helps to keep the oil at bay all day.

My make-up doesn't move! In fact, I'm blown away
5/5

Because I have oily skin, this has been extremely helpful in keeping my makeup in place. I used to use the Elf Putty Primer, but it didn't work for my skin type. As a result, I'm relieved to have discovered the matte!.

It does exactly what it claims
5/5

I love this product because I have combination skin, which means my face gets dry and my T-zone gets oily. The area becomes greasy and gleaming. I haven't used foundation in a long time. Because I've been wearing a mask all day, I've been wearing powder. Even after wearing a mask for hours, putting this on my nose keeps the shininess at bay. Definitely recommend!.
