As said by many before me, this primer doesn't reduce redness at all! But unlike some other reviews i also really dislike it as a primer! While it did make my foundation go on nicely, i felt like it made my foundation totally slide off and my face became oily very quickly while using this even more so than if i just was't wearing primer at all.

Reviews
I noticed a reduction in the redness in my cheeks. For the price I think this is a really great product and I will continue to use it.
I love love love this primer. It's my go to and my all time favourite. I think its my favourite elf product. I bought this product because it is a cheap and affordable primer, and I went for the tone adjusting green because my cheeks often get red. Boy was I surprised by this product! For something so cheap I didn't expect much really. It makes your skin so soft and silky smooth.
I use this primer after I've moisturised and before I apply my foundation. I have oily combination skin and quite large pores. Using this primer makes my foundation apply more smoothly and lasts longer throughout the day.
I love how this primer comes in a pump bottle, as it makes it easy to control how much product you need. I only need a tiny amount, just smaller than a pea size, for my whole face. The primer is very light and silky and absorbs into your skin quickly. The colour of this primer is a vibrant green, but it dissolves into your skin quickly. I didn't find the green tone that effective at reducing redness, but it is a very good primer.
This is a product that I will definitely repurchase!
I purchased this primer as I wanted to counteract the redness of my acne which often shows through my make up. The primer came packaged beautifully for an e.l.f product in a black box. The primer itself is in a classy silver pump bottle with a frosted finish. I thought the packaging looked lovely for such a cheap product, but the packaging did feel quite cheap and gimmicky. I liked the pump bottle as I felt it ensured the right amount was dispensed and that I didn't waste any of this. I was surprised to the see the primer come out such a vivid green; it just didn't seem to be the right kind of green to counteract redness. I found a little of this went a long way, so at least it was economical. I found this did nothing at all to counteract the redness of my acne so it did not deliver on that part. However, I found this to be a fantastic primer. This is silicon based and it helped make my foundation glide on really well, and this has to be one of my favourite silicone based primers I have tried. Whenever I used this primer I noticed that my make-up lasted a lot longer. Overall, I'd use this again just as a general primer also because it's quite affordable. I would not get your hopes up for any redness reducing.
I bought this with an iherb order a while ago because it was cheap and I'd only ever tried green concealer before. I didn't really expect great things since some reviews I read said it didn't do anything but it looked interesting and I was on a buying frienzy.
Its consistency is quite thin and creamy in comparison to some other primers I've tried. This is quite a different feel to the clear version that elf sells, which is a lot more gel like. This does apply quite smoothly and feels as if it smoothes my pores a bit more. It also helps my foundation blend in more smoothly.
Now onto the colour correcting part... When I used green concealer it's definitely reduced redness, but this one is a very deceptive kind of green. As a blob it definitely looks green but once I smoothed it out on my face all the greenness was gone?! And yet, the redness was still there. Umm ok. Now my redness isn't anything crazy but often the sides of my cheeks are red and a little patchy. I suppose you can say this evened out my skin tone but it really didn't do much in terms of colour correcting.
I'm not sure if all colour correcting primers are like this or if this one was particularly useless. But I definitely wouldn't buy it again. I've better primers that feel smoother to apply and get rid of pores better than this so the colour correction was its only attraction to me.
I bought this in an iherb order as it was cheap and I was after some new primers. The green looked pretty interesting and different so I thought I'd give it a go.
As soon as I tried it I thought it felt quite thin and doesn't have the silicone feeling the elf clear mineral primer has. It made my skin smooth but a bit oily, make sure you don't use too much!
I bought this primer mostly to minimize my redness but it did absolutely nothing for that. Once you spread on and smooth out the primer, it's not green it seems clear and my redness is still as prevalent as ever. I'd recommend sticking to the elf clear mineral primer, this doesn't do anything for redness. It might be fine as a primer if you've got normal/dry skin but it felt oily on me.
Save yourself $6 and do not purchase this product! It did nothing for my redness as promised and it clung to my dry patches and dryed it out more. Smelt and felt like vaseline was applied to my face
Eww, it is not good. Dried out my skin and made my foundation look oily. The green does absolutely nothing to my redness. Waste of money.
I bought this as part of an iHerb order and I’m not really sure why? I think I could hear Head Pixie saying “it’s a crime not to prime” as I was browsing the Elf products, lol. Redness isn’t really an issue for me either so I don’t know why I chose the green one? It didn’t appear green on my skin though. This is a really silicon heavy product which does make your skin feel silky smooth but would be best avoided if your skin doesn’t tolerate silicons. I didn’t find this did much so I only used it a few times. I’m not sure how many uses you would get out of this either as it’s really overpackaged and it’s impossible to tell how much is left. Overall this didn’t to anything for me so it’s not a ‘must have’ and I won’t be purchasing it again.
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.
