Prep & Blur Stick is rated 3.5 out of 5 by 44.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Meh...theres better, fortunately. Balls up and makes makeup look cakey. Looks bad under foundation or concealer. Even by itself, leaves a weird waxy pilly film. I feel like it is also drying.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from PERFECT... This stuff really works! Cheap and easy to use. The amount you actually get is decieving but tube will still last a month at least. That is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. My order arrived beautifully packaged. The product itself has no strong odor. I blend a small amount all over my face and neck after moisturizer. Smoothes little lines under my eyes and around my mouth. I recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great prep stick! I waited to write my review until I had used up the entire stick, and I love this stuff. Silky, yet silicone free. I apply it all over my face and neck as a primer, and it has not broken me out yet, which is a miracle for a pore filling product. I have not had the product pill or flake, and I have very combination skin. I thought I used a lot of product, but I can't imagine how much you would have to use to have it flake or pill! I run the stick across my entire face and neck then rub it in with my fingertips. Sometimes a few bounces with a sponge maybe. It's a great product at a great price. If you're on the fence, just try it. If you don't like it, give it to a friend. You're only out a few bucks, worst case scenario! If you're buying makeup at all you can afford to gamble on this one, and just might find a winner! I did.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Like using it but have no idea what it does First, as with so many ELF products, the actual contents are about 1/2 of what you think you are getting, less than even the top hald of the tube. Why do you do this ELF? You're not fooling anyone. Regardless, even though I don't really see any real benefit with this, I love the feel of it and will probably order more when my first tube runs out. I have no idea why but the price is so good.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It was okay, I didnt really feel it "blurred" , and usuing it as a base was not my favorite.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! I bought this when my Milk Blur Stick was running out, because I've heard they're similar. And I like this one at least as much! Which is great because it's so much cheaper! I have oily skin and it helps to keep the oil at bay a little longer (I still have to blot my face during the day though, but I've never tried anything that keeps my oil away for the whole day). I like that it's silicone free too. For some reason silicone primers tend to make my face oily faster. Plus my makeup will break up with some of the silicone primers. I'm not sure why though, since the BB cream I use has silicone with it. (I've heard before that it's best to use silicone primers with foundations/bb creams that contain silicone, and vice versa, silicone free primers with silicone free foundations). Oh well! Silicone free primers usually work the best for me, so I'll keep using this. :)

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great.. Except for my oily skin I loved the way it made my foundation look and how it felt on my skin but boy it made me so oily. i'm a naturally oily person anyway but woah.. It was probably my skin. but i prefer the putty primer. that stuff works like wonders!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent complexion product, multiple uses I'm a big ELF lover and I have high standards for face/complexion products. Originally,.I bought this because I went on a blurring product kick & was purchasing a ton of products that promised to blur & fill pores. Out of all the things I tried, only three items emerged as noticeably useful, this Prep & Blur stick being one of them (the other ELF item was the mattifying balm! Doing that review after this one lol). I used this on several no makeup days, and received several comments on how great I looked that day. People who dont know much about makeup simply told me I looked "refreshed" and that my skin looked particularly beautiful that day. I also used this under my foundation (I go between Laniege Hydra Radiance cushion foundation in shade 23, Sand and L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Fresh Wear in shade 445, Vanilla; I use both of these foundations for medium coverage and I am a normal skin type). Under foundation & used with moisturizer & primer, the blurring effect was still somehow visible even with foundation over it. The foundation seemed to last a bit longer as well. I dont know how well it would hold up under makeup in extreme humidity, as I tested it out on 60 something degree rainy days, but I wore my makeup for at least 9 hours and my foundation did not break up or seem to "melt" as a result of the prep and blur underneath. I really love this product. Its wonderful to have something this effective on my no makeup days; I've added it to my stable of ride or die moisturizers and primers that I use every single day.

Can this product be used as a foundation too or is it just meant to be a primer?

I have very pale skin and even the lightest foundation shades tend to look very orange on me. Will this product leave an orange cast on my pale skin?

Anyone know how this compares to the Milk makeup product that is similar?

Asked by: Amanda38
I swatched both on my hand and the milk blur stick was hands-down way more effective at blurring. The difference was extremely obvious. Texture wise, both were pretty much the same - that weird almost slippery feeling (but not in a bad way). The scents weren’t remarkable in either one. The elf one has witch hazel and the milk one has jasmine oil (I thought it would smell pretty but maybe my nose is messed up because I didn’t smell anything really). But if you’re looking for something that will blur your face to Instagram worthy perfection, maybe try the mini milk size out and see if the full-size price is worth it.

Will this product blur wrinkles as well or is it meant more for oily skin and to fill and blur pores only?

Asked by: Susielaw99
This also works to blur fine lines and any small imperfections on your skin.
