Love this stuff. I wear it over Clinique moisturizer and it works wonders. It allows for great "slip" so I can apply my foundation, minimizes pores, keeps my foundation from settling in fine lines...

I'm really not a fan of this at all. I normally use MAC Prep + Prime but I was already placing an order with E.L.F. so I thought I'd give it a shot since the price was so good. Unfortunately it...

I bought the tone-correcting green primer, and it's texture is exactly the same as sephora's primer, so really I saved around $15.00 for this. The green really does even out my tone, my foundation...

After not having used a primer, I decided to give them a shot. So, I started out with Rimmel and whereas I love it's tone smoothing aspect, it didn't do much for my pores. Since ELF's prices are...

I tried this years ago. I figured its cheap compared to other high end primers. Plus there's not many drug store face primers on the market. I have combination skin. I'm extremely oily in the...

No good for oily skin. It doesn't make your products last any longer, even tried applying it only to half my face so I could compare. It does glide on smooth and has a very siliconey feel....

This is a great inexpensive primer. Controls oil, smooths skin, fills in pores, and foundation glides on beautifully.

This is a great inexpensive primer that really holds on to your makeup. It comes out in a clear gel look but has a weird extra soft supplying feeling to it. It smoothes out the face's dry/oiliness....

Once again I have been pleasantly surprised by ELF. I have tried both Porefessional, Pixie, Mirabella and Smashbox primers and none of them made me say wow (especially none of the clear ones). But...

I just recently purchased this primer and have to say I really like it. A small amount goes a long way and for $3.00...well, I don't think we can beat that. I apply my moisturizer with SPF...

This primer seems to do just as good of job as my Bare Minerals Prime Time and the Smashbox Primer. The consistency is actually very similar to the BMPT. I will say that it does not help fill in...
