Elf face primer, green

This product did not give me the effect that I wanted. It did not really help cover the redness/pink of my cheeks. I do like the formula though and it felt really nice when I put it on.

hmmmm...

Primers. I have never been a fan, of any!

I purchased this primer from iherb.com after hearing great things about e.l.f primers. I wanted the original however they were out of stock so I purchased this instead.

Lovely packaging for how cheap the product is. Frosted bottle which shows off the green tinted product, I love how this product has a pump. One pump is all you need as this product goes a long way!!

This is green tinged silicone based Primer. I do not feel the green does anything for the appearance of redness, as you rub it out the green seems to just dissipate. I really HATE the feeling of the silicone on my skin... it actually makes me cringe! It does make foundation application easier however I feel like it makes your foundation slip throughout the day and you end up looking quite shiny and patchy.

If you love Primers and Silicone based and feel they work for you and your skin/foundation then I would totally recommend giving this a go as it really is so cheap. I do not love it but will continue to try it on and off with different foundations. I don't think there would be much difference between this and the original Primer so if you are unable to get original then give this one a go.

I know what you mean..I really dislike the feeling of silicone on my skin too, it makes me cringe too! I think some people either hate it or love it!

You get what you paid for

Pretty cheap but not too nasty. It’s a good enough primer, I mean you could definitely find a better one, but maybe not for $6. So you get what you paid for.

As for the tone adjusting: it does not work. My skin is pretty evenly toned apart from some redness around my nose and mouth/chin, and a red patch on my jaw. Green is supposed to cancel out red, but all of those areas remained just as red as before, so not really impressed with those claims.

Smoothing but not colour correcting

This is a good primer for the price. The bottle is quite decieving as it looks like you get quite a bit of product out of it but there is actually a lot less. I find this primer is good for smoothing and prepping the skin for foundation, but it is very average at tone adjusting red skin. Overall it is alright, but if you are wanting maximum colour correcting I would recommend using a green concealer before your foundation.

Fine primer, no redness reduction

As a primer, I love Elf - it makes my face smoother and the foundation glide on easier. However, as someone who suffers from mild rosacea I was really hoping that this would help with redness, which it did not. I would buy this again as I like the actual product, however I do not think I would recommend this to a friend as it does not exactly do what it promises.

Cheap primer but useless.

I bought this with an iherb order a while ago because it was cheap and I'd only ever tried green concealer before. I didn't really expect great things since some reviews I read said it didn't do anything but it looked interesting and I was on a buying frienzy.

Its consistency is quite thin and creamy in comparison to some other primers I've tried. This is quite a different feel to the clear version that elf sells, which is a lot more gel like. This does apply quite smoothly and feels as if it smoothes my pores a bit more. It also helps my foundation blend in more smoothly.

Now onto the colour correcting part... When I used green concealer it's definitely reduced redness, but this one is a very deceptive kind of green. As a blob it definitely looks green but once I smoothed it out on my face all the greenness was gone?! And yet, the redness was still there. Umm ok. Now my redness isn't anything crazy but often the sides of my cheeks are red and a little patchy. I suppose you can say this evened out my skin tone but it really didn't do much in terms of colour correcting.

I'm not sure if all colour correcting primers are like this or if this one was particularly useless. But I definitely wouldn't buy it again. I've better primers that feel smoother to apply and get rid of pores better than this so the colour correction was its only attraction to me.

Not great

I bought this in an iherb order as it was cheap and I was after some new primers. The green looked pretty interesting and different so I thought I'd give it a go.

As soon as I tried it I thought it felt quite thin and doesn't have the silicone feeling the elf clear mineral primer has. It made my skin smooth but a bit oily, make sure you don't use too much!

I bought this primer mostly to minimize my redness but it did absolutely nothing for that. Once you spread on and smooth out the primer, it's not green it seems clear and my redness is still as prevalent as ever. I'd recommend sticking to the elf clear mineral primer, this doesn't do anything for redness. It might be fine as a primer if you've got normal/dry skin but it felt oily on me.

ELF Tone Adjusting Primer

I've had this primer forever. I don't strongly dislike it, but never really find myself reaching for it - is probably time to get rid of it if I'm being honest!

My skin is quite red and this product does not cover any redness at all. It does make my skin feel super smooth and makes my pores appear smaller. However, when I use this over my whole face, or too much, it makes my skin feel quite greasy and just kind of gross. When I use this primer, I use the tiniest amount over my nose and cheek area and it does make my makeup sit nicer on my skin than it would without it. When my skin is quite dry this primer doesn't work for at all, and makes my dry patches more visible. I don't find this primer to make my makeup last any longer.

I think this is an okay primer for the price point, but wouldn't repurchase it.

Average.

I love e.l.f as a brand, but this particular product really didn't blow me away. I found that it reacted really badly with my skin, and aside from that I found that once you actually blend it into the skin, the tone correcting greenness seems to disappear. It felt heavy on the skin and exaggerated pores. It did make the skin smooth but that isn't what I wanted it for. If you want a good tone correcting primer try the l'oreal one.

Tips: Works fine as a smoothing primer but for neutralizing redness not so great.

Did nothing for me

I bought this as part of an iHerb order and I’m not really sure why? I think I could hear Head Pixie saying “it’s a crime not to prime” as I was browsing the Elf products, lol. Redness isn’t really an issue for me either so I don’t know why I chose the green one? It didn’t appear green on my skin though. This is a really silicon heavy product which does make your skin feel silky smooth but would be best avoided if your skin doesn’t tolerate silicons. I didn’t find this did much so I only used it a few times. I’m not sure how many uses you would get out of this either as it’s really overpackaged and it’s impossible to tell how much is left. Overall this didn’t to anything for me so it’s not a ‘must have’ and I won’t be purchasing it again.
