e.l.f Mineral Infused Face Primer, Tone Adjusting Green

I bought this primer at the same time I bought the clear version of this. I have quite a lot of redness on and around my nose and was hoping this primer would help correct this. I find it works great as a primer (See my review for the clear version as I find it exactly the same) however personally I don't think it does anything to combat redness because this product is far too sheer to correct any red tones.

I have tried using this primer on one half of my face and the clear version on the other side of my face after using just the green one and seeing no obvious difference. With the two side by side I could still see no difference and neither could my family. Although this product is scarily green in the packaging, they weren't lying when they said it was sheer!

So basically this is a great cheap silicone based primer but it doesn't do anything to correct the redness on my face (maybe i'm just too red!). I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking to cover redness as I don't believe it works for that however I will finish the product and would use it again (if the clear version wasn't available) as a regular face primer. Hope this helps!

E.L.F is by far one of my favourite brands in the market ...and my bank account also agrees! After spending hours online on E.L.F & iHerb, noticing that everyone else has also falling for them as there wasn't much stock left... I went down to Kmart in Albany to see what they had in stock. Thankfully I went at the right time as this little gem was in stock.

I opted for the "Tone Adjusting Green" E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer as I tend to get a little red in the face, this was my first tone adjusting primer I have used. Now the texture is like velvet, as it is a silicone-based Primer. I found the texture very similar to Smashbox. Now I haven't been the biggest fan of this texture of primer as it's just a strange feeling on the skin, but after applying the E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer my face appeared smoother, though still slightly red. It was the perfect base for my foundation, made application a dream.

Unfortunately I have combination skin, after a couple of hours my nose is rather shiny and my foundation is running away. Possibly just need to re-touch with powder.

I'm not sure if I would buy this again to be honest. I like the packaging, but I'm pretty sure the primer is only in a small bit inside, so the bottle is quite deceptive - you get less product than you would think.

The price is very reasonable for a primer, but when I put it on there is a weird unpleasant chemical smell that I really don't like. It hasn't reacted with my skin or caused a breakout (yet) but the smell - yuck. I haven't seen anyone else mention the smell though so maybe I just got a weird batch..?

It does its job as a primer pretty well, my foundation goes on nice and smoothly. I don't see any difference in redness though so I think the "tone adjusting green" is rubbish.

I'll keep using it till it runs out but after that I think I'll have to buy a more expensive, non smelly primer.

So this product is good but since using other products and seeing other results Id say this is average. Its great if you are on a budget and need something affordable but I felt that my makeup sat on top of the primer and even with a setting spray its still didn't set, I felt as if my makeup was moving and If I was to hug someone my makeup would fall of onto their shirt. The good side is that it does even out my skin tone and it does create a smooth surface. Also I expected more to be in the bottle due to the size but there was very little.

To start off, this primer does do its job. It has a nice silky feel and applies extremely well. I definitely notice the difference if I put foundation on without it. However, I do have a bone to pick with the packaging of this product.

There is only 14g of actual product, and if I had known this, I probably would not have bought it. It is partially my fault for not actually checking but who normally does? The actual container holding the product is inside another clear container that screws off. And when you look at the green container holding the liquid, you will also find that the product only fills up half of it. I can see how online purchasers may fall for this also as they aren't able to properly see the packaging. For this reason, I will probably not be re-purchasing this product.

i find this primer to be very average but does the job, its good to have if you have a primer emergency like if you run out of your usual,

I brought this after hearing many people rave about it, and because I do tend to have red toned skin.

The formula is very silicone feeling, but glides on nicely, and one pump does your whole face.

I found that it didn't really conceal any of my redness on my face at all, but a primer, it does make my makeup go on nicely, and last longer.

I did need to touch up during the day, but for a $6 primer it's pretty good.

I have tried this primer in the tone adjusting green colour. It comes in a plastic bottle that looks like frosted glass, with a pump to easily get the right amount of product out.

I found that the green colour didn’t do a lot to cover my redness but I still really enjoyed using it. I only need about 2 pumps to cover my entire face. The primer fills in fine lines and makes my face feel silky smooth for a flawless make-up application. I haven’t noticed a dramatic difference in how long my makeup lasts though when I’m wearing this or not.

There is one thing that really bothers me about this primer, and that is that there isn’t nearly as much product in the bottle as you think. When you open it and unscrew the lid to get the last of it out, you see that the container holding the product is tiny. It’s probably less than a quarter of the size of the actual bottle and the entire tube is a green colour, so its not actually the product you can see from the outside of the bottle.

Although I did like the feel of this primer, I won’t be repurchasing as I feel like the product is deceiving with the amount in the bottle. For the price you would pay for this primer in NZ I will probably try something else now that mine’s finished.

Like other reviewers, I found the primer did not cover my redness at all but it still makes a fine primer. I haven't tried any of the others in the range.

Personally I prefer my primer to be a bit thicker and feel more silicone-y but it's fine for the price & does make for smoother makeup application. I wouldn't go out your way to get one if there is no ELF in your area. For around same price point you could get the Maybelline Babyskin primer.

I got mine from iHerb for about $3.00 so I find it to be very economical which is a good thing as the packaging is a bit misleading. The pump dispenser it comes in looks to be quite big, but it reality it's not as the product is actually encased in another smaller tube inside the bottle. It's lasted me quite some time, just over a month with daily use (including my neck)

I use about 1 1/2 pumps to get the desired result.

When you pump it out it's a rather putrid green coloured primer which is supposed to combat the redness in your skin, I find this to be grossly exaggerated and it hasn't made any difference whatsoever to the redness. What I do like is the feeling and look of my skin once makeup has been applied over this, it seems to make a visible difference in the texture and pore visibility so I would use it again but not for the purposes of trying to cover redness.
