I saw everyone going on about how amazing this was and how it really helped their redness, and I have redness in my cheeks so I thought I might as well give it a go. For the price, I am incredibly impressed, but I don't think it does a huge amount for my redness. It decreases it slightly once I've put foundation/BB cream on, but not a huge amount. But I like this primer for the fact of how smooth and silky it makes your face feel, because it really does feel gorgeous. I find it also makes your foundation last quite a bit longer than any other cheap primer does, but it doesn't quite last all day. FOr anyone who has never used a green primer before, it can be quite disconcerting and you think it will make your face appear green, but it just blends out to be invisible on your skin.

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.
Heard everyone raving about the elf primers so I ordered one from iherb and I love it. Makes my face feel soo good and makes my makeup go on so much better. The only thing I've noticed since using it is that I'm more oily at the end of the day but I'm not sure if its the primer contributing to that.. For the price its amazing!
This stuff is awesome. Easy to apply and leaves skin feeling sily smoothe... its consistency is gel like, which is different to other primers Ive used before. This primer helped my foundation/ concealer go on well and I found I needed less product to get the coverage I was after...compared to what I usually use when i use other primers.. I love this elf primer! Highly recommend!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Tips: A small pump is enough for application, a little goes along way.
This is just fab. It's super cheap off iherb so I buy a few at a time. I suffer from red cheeks so this helps correct it. It's soooo soft and velvety on my skin. It helps my foundation go on like a dream and last longer.
Tips: There isn't much in each bottle so stock up if you're buying off iherb!
I brought this on iherb for $4. I didn't think it would be that great but thought I may as we'll buy it because it's so cheap.
I have redness around my nose and cheek area and enlarged pores on my cheeks. When I put this primer on I definitely noticed a difference to my skin tone. My redness was nicely covered. It was so soft and silky. It wasn't greasy or made my skin feel wet (which I have experienced with some other primers).
When I put my make up on it look really good and lasted all day. I didn't need to do any touch ups and my pores were definitely covered. It's fair to say that I am now a convert to elf products. It's definitely a great but. Great value for money.
Tips: Let it dry on your skin before applying make up and use the elf kabuki brush for a beautiful finish!
