e.l.f. Acne Fighting Putty Primer, Infused with 1.8% Salicylic Acid, Helps Prevents Future Breakouts & Helps Reduce Redness, Minimizes Appearance of Pores, Preps & Primes Skin, 0.74 Oz (21g)

I’m a musician who has to take photos and videos all the time, so I test a lot of cosmetics for my work. I’m willing to pay for expensive brands if they really work, but I stumbled upon this product and was amazed that it actually does what it says it does. I stared at my pores, applied this product, and they really did look blurred! I thought I was imagining things, so I tried it again another day—and it did the same thing again. I even asked my daughter to test it, and she confirmed it too. It really does diminish the appearance of imperfections and make the skin look smoother. The product photo showing the model’s freckles blurred? I actually believe it. So many before-and-after photos I see for cosmetics look unrealistic, but this one really work that way. What I find almost unbelievable is that this is the most affordable brand I’ve tried, yet this is the product I can actually see a visible difference. I’ve tried plenty of more expensive products that make impressive claims but don’t give me an obvious result. This one does! The one thing I noticed is that when the product dries, it can create a visible line in a crease. Because of that, I would avoid putting it directly on wrinkles. But on flatter areas like the nose and the tops of the cheeks where you can see pores, I would absolutely use it. I actually put a little bit on the back of my hand, use a soft contour brush to stipple it, and then tap it upward into the nose area, almost as if I’m filling each pore. And then you can actually see the magic happen!

OK not to sound too cliché but I don't write reviews like ever. OK now that's out of the way let's run it down. This stuff is a miracle. I heard about it, saw it, read reviews and hesitated I'll admit. I was like putty....blech...I have mixed skin which if you know you know. It's where your skin is dry in patches but then has the Exon oil run off flowing free in others. So yeah you need that moisturizer, but guess what buddy you're welcoming the pimple band to play all day in return. Oh your skin is oily, well that made for oily skin product is gonna get cakey in an hour and you're gonna have dry cracked scales like a serpent succubus. It's a hard thing to balance out and the thought of something thick laying on my face before I put on makeup was a full stop "oh hell no" moment. However one of my friends swears by it and she always looks like she woke up with a damn snap chat filter stapled to her face so I figured what the hey its a cheap price and I've definitely spent way more trying to figure out how to work this face why not give it a whirl. WELL LET ME TELL YOU GOOD PEEPS. This stuff is amaze balls. It comes in a tub and looks thick or pasty but looks are deceiving in this tiny tub of angel kisses. When you touch it turns into a smooth and light texture almost like a gel lotion but it's not. It goes on so smooth and you don't need alot but has a consistency that allows you to layer/build as needed. I actually saw my pores disappear and my texture was velvety without feeling oily and/or sticky which I've found some primers made for mixed skin do. The color in the tub is a slight rose color but on your skin doesn't leave a tinted pigment BUT DID even out some of my redness or discoloration caused by past acne ( the pimple band likes to leave its marks my friends). My foundation went on smoothly and I found I need to dab less to blend with the trusty blending egg then without this tub of magic. My makeup stayed on longer than all day in perfect condition. No lie. I work in a medical setting AND then bartend at night and apart from my dead inside eyes when I looked in the mirror my makeup was damn flawless. Trust me when I say to you just get the dang thing. For this price and the amount you get it's well worth it.

I’ve been using this primer before makeup and overall I’m happy with it. It feels lightweight and goes on smoothly without feeling greasy. It helps create a nice base and makes my makeup apply more evenly. I just wish the pore-blurring effect lasted a little longer, but overall it’s a good primer for the price.

I absolutely love the poreless putty primer. I CAN NOT do my makeup without it. If you’re oily I’m not sure you would enjoy it however I am dry and have pores near the sides of my nose and it works wonders for me. This gives me a flawless canvas to apply makeup and when I do it works well. Never any pilling, my makeup stays put and looks good! I love this product. Does it erase your pores, no! Does it make them less noticeable, yes!!!! Give it a shot. I was never a primer girl but this stuff is gooooood! I will continue to purchase!

This primer is just okay. It goes on, but I found that it doesn't blend very well and can feel a bit uneven during application. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't give me the smooth finish I was hoping for. It may work for others, but I probably wouldn't repurchase it.

I’ve been using the e.l.f. Poreless Face Primer and it does a nice job creating a smooth base before applying makeup. The texture feels silky and lightweight, and only a small amount is needed to cover the face. After applying it, my skin feels smoother and my foundation goes on more evenly. I noticed it helps blur the appearance of pores around my nose and cheeks, which gives my makeup a more polished look. Another thing I like is that it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. It blends easily into the skin and helps my makeup last longer throughout the day. Overall, this is a good affordable primer that helps smooth the skin and prep it for makeup. A little goes a long way, so the bottle should last quite a while.

​I have been using the e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer for years now and have had zero issues with it. It is a permanent staple in my beauty routine, and as long as the formula stays the same, I will continue to buy it! ​Why I Love It: • ​Perfect for Tricky Skin: I have combination and sensitive skin, and this has never caused a single breakout or any irritation. • ​Aging & Texture: My skin is aging and has some uneven texture, but this primer smooths everything out perfectly. • ​Versatile: I always put this on before my makeup, but I even use it on no-makeup days. It makes my skin appear more even, polished, and fresh. • ​The Perfect Canvas: When I do wear makeup, everything goes on much more evenly and stays in place significantly longer than without it. ​Application & Feel: • ​No "Funky" Smell: There is no weird scent to deal with. • ​Easy to Apply: I just use my fingers to blend it in, and it works perfectly every time. • ​Travel-Friendly: The packaging is compact, stays closed tightly, and travels very well without taking up much space. ​I am really impressed with how this performs compared to much more expensive brands. I definitely recommend this product if you want a reliable, polished look every day!

I like how is smooth out the skin. Used it for years.

Me encantó, tiene un pequeño brillo pero casi no se nota cuando aplicas maquillaje arriba

I tried the trio to see which I preferred, my conclusion is all are great. lovely primers, would recommend

Great product will buy again🙂

Diesen Primer kann ich nur empfehlen: er ist gut zu dosieren und lässt sich prima verteilen.Selbst eine dünne Schicht verleiht schon einen glatten gleichmässigen Teint, und man sieht nicht "zugekleistert" aus. Ich werde jetzt nur noch dieses Produkt kaufen ...

Texture morbidissima anche se si presenta tipo burro. Si assorbe velocemente e lascia la pelle levigata ma non unta. È fantastico per me perché ho la pelle grassa.
