Bye bye Pores
To start off, this primer is $10 but it has more than twice the product that the $6 primers have. Second, it's a much different consistency. Its not silicon like, it's tacky and more like a creme. Third, I use a light-medium coverage foundation usually and I find that this give me much more even coverage with my first layer and reduces my smile lines, pores and break up on my nose. It's also a really good eye primer.

Small amount for the price....
Works like all the other primers which is good, But not worth $10.00... Sorry But you get almost the same amount as their other primers and they are only $6.00. I think this is pass on a repurchase for me for sure and just continue with there Poreless and other primers that I have been using.

Perfect primer
This primer is perfect. By mid-day my face is looking shiny but since I’ve started using this primer it has cut down the shine so much. The finish is soft, natural, and leaves my skin non-oily but without a “powder-matte” look. I definitely recommend. *side note* I only use primer on my skin after my normal skin care routine so I don’t know how this behaves under foundation, concealer, etc.

Best Primer!
This is my favorite primer. My makeup looks better and lasts longer when I use this primer compared to any other. A little goes a long way. Please don't ever discontinue this!

I'm not sure what this primer is supposed to do. I received it free and tried it but I don't see any effect. Also, it's a little sting-y on my skin.

Love The Matte!
E.L.F. seems to be way ahead of the game when it comes to oil controlling primers! I have excessively oily skin and my makeup lasts all day with this primer. I absolutely love the slight glow it gives off so I can look a little dewy not look oily like some.

Total Game Changer!
I picked this as a free sample on my last order and am SO glad I did! I use Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (because it covers and camouflages my rosacea very well). I had been using the Estee Lauder "The Smoother" primer which was okay but figured there had to be better out there. Getting into my 30s, fine lines starting popping up on my forehead and this minimizes them. It's matte but still gives your skin that glowy look! I hope they keep this one around! Plus Estee's is $38 and this is a fraction of the price! Give it a try! It's fantastic!

Any of our primers are suitable for combination skin. If you are looking for specific attributes like Hydration, please choose one of our Hydrating Primers. If you would specifically like to minimize pores, please choose a poreless one, etc.

What exactly does "luminous matte" mean???
awin

I am using this primer right now. It's luminous enough to give you a lit from within glow but it doesn't make you look oily. It's matte enough that your makeup can blend out beautifully without issues. I really suggest you use this primer! The value for the price is awesome, and it smells slightly (to me) like berries!

Can this be used as an eyeshadow primer
erin1234
7 years ago
I would say no. Eyeshadow primers and face primers usually do different things to the area they are applied and I don't think eyeshadow would go over the top of it very well. Could just be my opinion of it but I don't think it would work out too well in my experience. Try taking some of your concealer up there instead of a face primer!

I thought dimethicone primers were bad for dry skin like mine, and this has dimethicone in it. Does it actually work for super dry skin?

Dimethicone is good for dry skin. I have a skin disorder that makes my skin more dry than most anyone and all of my lotions contain dimethicone. It is also in cosmetics so their ingredients go on smoothly.

Which one of the e.l.f. primer's is most like Benefit's Porefessional Primer, which is, in mho, THE BEST!
Beauty _junkie81

Honestly, I would say e.l.f tone adjusting primer in lavender. I both the Benefit and that and they are very similar in consistency. I actually prefer the e.l.f. one because the lavender does seem to help brighten a good deal. My makeup goes on really well and it stays that way all day.

Do you use this in place of a regular moisturizer? Or apply after the moisturizer?

I would use this after applying your moisturizer. Just allow your moisturizer to soak in for a few minutes before applying.

If you ever used there other Primers that they have, it is the same as them. Their $6.00 primers are just as good as this $10.00 one in my opinion.
