What does Luminous Putty Primer do?
Luminous Putty Primer is infused with hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen, which may help hydrate and plump the skin. Luminous primer helps illuminate your complexion and creates a smooth base for makeup to grip onto your skin.
Should I use luminous primer?
If you want to achieve a soft, radiant glow while gripping your makeup for a smooth, poreless effect, you should absolutely use luminous face primer. Apply a illuminating primer before your foundation after your moisturizer to help achieve that illuminating look.
Where do you put luminous putty primer?
Apply Luminous Putty Primer on the face after moisturizing, focusing on areas that you want to enhance and provide a glowing effect, such as the cheekbones and higher points of your face.
What is the difference between luminous and matte primer?
Luminous face primers are designed to give your skin a healthy, glowing look and can help to combat dullness. They often contain light-reflecting particles or subtle shimmer to illuminate your complexion. Matte face primers, on the other hand, are formulated to control oil and shine and give your skin a smooth, velvet finish. They are particularly beneficial for those with oily skin, as they can help to prevent makeup from sliding off throughout the day.

Radiant Glow
I was a little shocked about the amount of golden glow when I first applied it, but once I put my foundation on top, it looked great. I have extremely dry skin, so I will take glow where ever I can get it.

Glitter , you ruined it.
Why would you put glitter in this ? I was so excited because I have dry skin. But who wants glitter all over their face ?

Beautiful Glow
The luminous putty primer is a new Holy Grail. Creamy and hydrating that leaves a beautiful dewy glow. Works perfectly with the Soft Glam foundation. My new favorite combination for everyday or special occasions.

a little bit too much glitter for me.
I have oily/acne-prone skin, and I found that this product makes my skin look too oily. I've had to use a bunch of powder on top to make it look normal. Seems like a great product for those with normal/dry skin.

This primer is really the best I've tried!
My mature skin is very dry, but this primer adds a much needed luminous glow. I love how light-weight this product feels, as well.

Great Option for Extra Glow!
This primer goes on really nice. It gives skin a nice glow and I haven't had any issues with my makeup not staying out. Definitely not as sticky and the grip primers, but it's creamy and goes on super smooth.

I don't like how unnatural it looks
I normally live sparkly product but this just looked so weird and didt really prime very well the only thing it did was make my face sparkly.

Don't like the glitter
Don't love this. I don't like the sparkle in so many products. However, product does prime well. I use it for inner eyes.

While our goal is to create gentle products, everyone is different and some may experience sensitivity to an ingredient or a combination of an ingredient and outside factors. Because we cannot predict how everyone may react, we do not claim that our products are entirely non-comedogenic.

the elf team

We suggest the Luminous Primer for Dry/Combination Skin. Please click on the chart on any of the Putty Primer product pages for more information on which to choose for your skin type. We also recommend using several of the putty primers on different areas of your face if you have combination skin.
