e.l.f Mineral Infused Primer

This is the first e.l.f product I've used and I'm glad to say I loved it.

It has the same finish as my smashbox primer - almost powdery finish. I couldn't help but touch my face afterwards (as I normally would with any good primer)

It didn't do much in terms of reducing pore size. Nor did I find my makeup lasting as long as it normally would - but it wasn't far off!

I have extreme combo skin and my oily T-Zone was much the same as it normally is and same with my dry patches. So in terms of combating these issues, I would say this doesn't help at all.

I can and will say however, that I love the PRICE! I mean.... $76 compared to $6!? Seriously good.

On lazy days I will use this primer instead of my ultra expensive smashbox one. It's nice to have this when you don't want to run out of the good stuff so quickly!

I'm very much on the fence with this one. I didn't hate it, but it didn't really impress me either.

As has been mentioned in other reviews, the packaging is a bit of a trick and there's actually a very small amount of it in the tube. I didn't read the capacity when I ordered it though and it was very cheap, so I have no real complaints there. It may be something for others to bear in mind though. I liked the style of pump dispenser for limited waste of product.

This primer has a really nice, refreshing scent to it and it glided on smoothly. It didn't feel too slimy and left the surface of my skin feeling very smooth in preparation for makeup.

The overall finish at first felt and looked very flawless with my regular foundation on top but, as the day went on, I don't think my base lasted any better than it normally would. I occasionally skip this step of my makeup routine when I'm in a huge hurry and I honestly don't know for sure whether it made a great deal of difference.

For that reason, I just can't get excited about this one. It hasn't really made a difference for me, for better or worse.

1 pump and that's all I need for my face and neck. It makes my skin smooth and fills in those little creases so when I put my foundation on it looks even and smooth. I've never used a primer before but this one sure is a good one :)

I have never used a primer before, so I tried the e.l.f primer as a starter because of the price (only $6). The gel feels like silicone and I use only one pump to cover my whole face.

The primer makes my face really smooth (seriously like silk) and makes applying pressed powder a lot easier e.g. it spreads across my face more smoothly and evenly. It also makes my powder last a lot longer during the day.

I started using the primer with BB Cream and pressed powder. But I feel like it's a bit much with the BB cream as well, so I use the primer with powder when I am going for a more natural look.

Unfortunately I am not a fan of the smell (chemically) but that is covered up by the smell of pressed powder/foundation. I also don't really think it helps with enlarged pores and fine lines.

But for the price, it is definitely worth it if you are just looking to make applying makeup easier and make it last longer.

I have to say that the thing I love most about all elf products is how affordable they are. At only $6 you can't really complain. For the price this primer is great quality. I have the primer in clear and I've found that it has decent coverage, good consistency and gives you a smooth surface when applied. I've tried some high end primers before which are only marginally better and almost 7 or 8 times the price. For anyone looking for an affordable primer that is still really good quality I recommend this range (the colour correcting green one is also fabulous).

This was the first primer I used and I loved it! It's so smooth and soft on my face and my makeup goes on much more evenly when I use it. You don't need a lot and its so affordable! I was skeptical about primer for a while but now I wouldn't put makeup on without it. I have used the green one for redness also and I didn't feel it did anything for my redness but still an awesome primer. I would highly recommend it! Makes my skin silky smooth! :) I have also tried the max factor primer but this one wins hands down!

When I was first introduced to iherb, this product seemed to be a popular choice, and after reading the reviews on this item, I thought it was worth a try.

The ELF primer comes in a small hard plastic cylinder, and uses a pump to dispense the product. I actually love this method because it so easy to use, and easy to control how much product is released. The only thing about the design that isn’t great is that when you disassemble the container, you can see there is not actually as much primer are you think there is as the cylinder which actually holds the product is very small, and sits inside a much bigger cylinder which makes you think you’re getting a lot for your money.

The primer is clear in colour, and has a thick consistency. When smoothed over skin, it leaves skin feeling very smooth and I think this product almost has a silicon texture to it. I find a little more than a pea size amount is enough for full coverage of my face.

I let the primer set for a few minutes before I apply my foundation, and I find as a primer it works reasonably well. My foundation lasts the majority of the day, but not the whole day before it starts slipping and sliding. And if the day is really hot, the primer starts slipping a lot earlier in the day. On negative about this product is that when I touch my face, I feel like the silicon feel of the primer transfers onto my hands, which I don’t like.

For the price of this primer, it’s worth a try. I have to say it’s nowhere near my favourite primer, but I keep it in the back of my makeup table for a back-up.

This primer is more of a silicone based primer. I had previously only used cream based primer, so was really impressed at the way this filled in my large pores in my cheeks, as well as helped my foundation blend evenly onto my skin. One pump is also enough product to do your entire face, making this even more thrifty. I have only ever used three primers; Revlon, nutrimetics and this one which is probably a fifth of the price of the other brands as well as being my favourite by far. Will be buying this again for sure.

I love using this primer, it was the first primer I ever purchased and I still continue to use it all the time.

The primer comes out clear and thick and has a silicon feel to it. It is very easy to apply as it glides over your face and leaves your face feeling super smooth and soft.

The primer is dispensed from a pump attached to a hard plastic bottle. The pump is really easy to use and dispenses a small amount of product which is all you need as a little goes a long way in giving you full coverage of your face, pea size is enough.

I found that the primer doesn't have much of a fragrance, if anything it smells a tiny bit plastic like.

I have found that the primer does increase the length of my make up. I put it on in the morning and it lasts me a full 8 hour work day. But if it is a hot day my make up does start to come off a lot earlier. When you touch your face you can feel it slide off.

I apply this primer and then usually style my hair so that I give it time to sink in and set. I apply my foundation over the top with a brush and I find that because the primer has made my skin so soft my foundation moves around easily on my face and that I am able to get better coverage.

The packaging is very simple but durable due to the hard plastic bottle. I have never had any trouble with the pump. The size of the bottle is quite missing leading though as there is a lot less product in the bottle than you think. But because it is a super cheap primer and you only need a small amount it is very good value for money.

I have combination type skin with both dry and oily patches and I really like using this primer as it evens out my skin and makes my make up last longer and easier to put on.

I use this product and a regular basis and it is a must have.

this was the first primer i ever tried , an its the only primer i still use , i love the feel its so soft an just absorbs into the skin making it feels silky smooth an that my wrinkles an fine lines are fuller lol i love this primer an will until a better comes along an i doubt it be soon :)
