e.l.f Mineral Infused Primer

So excited to be able to review this Primer. This is my Holy Grail product and one I can not live without. So lets start with the product itself. Its like a smooth gel consistency, it glides on so smoothly and feels soft as a babies bottom. You don't need much of it which is a bonus in my eyes because it then lasts longer. I can not use any foundation unless I've got this baby on and it goes on so well and really evens out my foundation whether it be powder or liquid. The packaging is just adorable, it has a pump on it which is great because all you need is one pump, its not huge so its pretty compact. The price is just amazing, at $6 you seriously can not go wrong. I have this in both the Clear and Tone Adjusting Green. Amazing product. One thing I will say though is that I have tried the Smashbox primer and this E.L.F one is a total dupe for it, however I definitely prefer the E.L.F one.

I have big unsightly pores on my nose and on the inner core of my cheeks and when foundation is applied to my non-primed skin it has the look of an orange peel because it looks as though my pores have drunk up the foundation. Its not a pretty face to look at.

Since I have found this primer that has all has changed. I really have to becareful with overloading my skin with products because not only is it really oily but it will break out in acne with nobody's permission. I love that this primer has kept my oily skin controlled when using foundation and also doesnt cause me to breakout in acne.

I love the feel of the velvety soft and creamy primer has when you rub it inbetween your fingers and when you apply to your face it literally disappears and becomes another layer of skin. It is little weight and effortless to wear and the best part is that it works great with any liquid foundation I use. The pump bottle disperses the perfect amount of primer and its not messy to disperse at all.

I've been using this for about 2months and have recently become a advent convert of the powder before foundation routine and my foundation has never looked better and better yet... my orange peel is no longer around!

I apply a generous layer of this primer and smooth it out until it completely disappears, then apply a light layer of translucent powder over the primer. The primer causes that my skin doesnt have powdery finish at all and lastly I'll apply my foundation.

These days (when I make the effort) my foundation is flawless, my foundation doesnt turn into an oil spill within a few hours and my skin is not breaking out so badly with the overuse of foundation.

I love this primer and for the price of $6 and the amazing quality, this primer is not leaving my product collection!

This was the first primer I have ever used and I am in love,I have only tried to clear version as of yet I find that one pump does all over my forehead,nose,under eyes & around my mouth but I find applying it to my whole face works so much better for my makeup so about 1 and a half 2 pumps, I love the feeling of this primer it goes on so smooth and feels like I am wearing nothing, Once dried I apply my foundation etc, When it is hot and my face gets a little sweaty I go to look in a mirror and imagine the horror I will find but when I wear this primer with the e.l.f setting mist my makeup does not move at all even on the hottest days. Only negative is that the bottle doesn't last long at all but for $6 I guess that is ok, I am excited to try the other primers e.l.f has in the future.Has a light pleasant scent & Cute packaging.

I have this in the colour correcting green to combat my redness.

The first thing I noticed about this was how soft it made my skin immediately after application. It helped make my skin smoother (I have dry skin so this is a must), and I definitely felt like it helped prime and moisturise my skin.

It also helps my redness and it allows my foundation to stay on longer. My skin looks and feels better after using this and I use this in lieu of moisturiser before putting foundation on. I'll definitely purchase this again.

- I actually love this so much I purchased the other two in their range ;P

This Primer is my HG! Absolutely love the quality of the product and the bonus is that its really affordable! This comes in a small clear pump bottle, and the lid tends to fall off a lot, but it is a clear thick gel so this doesn't matter too much. The primer glides on smoothly and when first applied, feels quite oily on the skin! I have oily skin myself so I was a bit worried about this, but after a few seconds the primer dries and your skin is left feeling nice and smooth. You only need a tiny amount so be careful not to be too heavy handed with the pump. I'm not convinced that this primer minimizes pores, but for the price you are getting good quality. Foundation glides on flawlessly, and I find that the primer helps to create a nice dewy finish. If your new to makeup or are looking for a cheap primer, this is definitely the one to use!

I started using this primer and it was great it kept my foundation on and made it go on silky smooth. But then about 3 days later.. boom. Huuuge painful and embarassing acne breakout! I usually get one at a time and usually only my chin or forehead but I got acne all ovet my cheeks too! It was the most peculiar thing. I haven't used it for a month now and the acne has gone but my skin isn't the same anymore.. I hate this product :(

I purchased this off iherb a while ago and before purchasing this was not a loyal primer user. This has converted me to using primer on an everyday basis. I have visible pores around my nose and cheek area and find foundation often seems to make my pores even more visible by sitting on the skin or sinking into the pores and making my skin look the opposite of the smoothness I desire. I also have very sensitive dry skin so have avoided primers in the past as it is just another product piled onto my sensitive skin that could reek havoc and cause more dryness, irritation or breakouts. I am happy to say this primer has done none of the above and nothing but good things for my skin. I find one pump of this product is the perfect amount to cover my entire face and comes cleanly and evenly out of the pump. I concentrate the product most on my nose/cheek area where I have issues with my pores and also my nose, chin and forehead for any oiliness that may developed during the day (although for me this is usually only necessary in summer as my skin does not get particularly oily).

The texture of this primer is similar to most silicone based primers and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and soft. I find it helps smooth over dry patches, definitely reduces the size of my pores and their visibility under foundation and prolongs the wear time of my foundation or bb cream. I am extremely impressed! I like to leave the primer for a few minutes to let it truly sink into the skin and just leave a gorgeously smooth canvas for my following makeup.

The packaging of this is plain and simple but I am glad it has a pump dispenser. Other primers I have used, just come in a squeeze tube and I find getting the perfect amount of product a bit of a battle. With this I don't even have to think about it as one pump is perfect and mess free.

In my opinion this is a fantastic primer irrelevant of the price. The super cheap price just makes it all the more amazing. For $6 I think this is a must have for everyone. I will definitely be repurchasing this and continuing to use it on a daily basis.

Elf primer is perfect for lady's on a budget or lady's looking to get a bargain! I brought this product on a recent online haul for $6 so was not expecting too much out of this product. I was pleasantly suprised!! The bottle is a cute design and clearly states what it is! I Have found that one pump was the perfect amount to cover my entire face. The product spreads on easily and makes my skin feel absolutely amazing!! It helps my foundation to glide on easily and look flawless!

The only complain I have about this product is that it ran out very fast (in about 2 weeks) so I took off the lid and found that the product does not actually fill the entire container it's almost an illusion!

Although I feel bad complaining as the product was so cheap and it did make my skin feel amazing! Would definitely reccomend this primer!

This product is a budget-friendly primer that comes out clear and helps create a smooth canvas for foundation or BB cream. I first purchased this on IHerb, but then have since got it at Kmart when they started bringing it into New Zealand. It is also budget friendly as you don't need much, I start with one pump and then apply that and then doing another if required. The price is good, I enjoy the finish and how it applies. If I had to think of a similar product, I'd probably say it's along the lines of the Lancome Le Base primer (but for A LOT less in price).

One thing I didn't like about it was that I don't think it helped my wear time or balanced out oil production. The packaging is also quite bulky but easily solved by popping this in a travel tub if you're heading on holiday. For the price, I'm willing to forgive a packaging flaw.

When I first tried this on my hand etc I was a bit concerned. It didn't seem to be what I expected (not sure what I expected haha) and I thought perhaps primer is a waste of time. I have used it quite a few times now and I really like it. It's a little smoother than my other primer, meaning it goes on a little more subtly. This is great for my day looks. I also really like that it doesn't have a strong fragrance as my face sometimes smells like a candy store with all the fragrances. Of course I love that it's not tested on animals and doesn't cause any issues for my skin.
