This was my first ever primer I had purchase and think that it is definitely a winner. I have tried other primers by Rimmel but for the price the Elf primer wins hands down. I only need to use one pump and that is enough to cover my face, it leaves my face feeling very smooth and silky which helps my make up apply and look more flawless. I'm not sure how well it des on keeping your make up looking good all day but is very good to make our face smooth for your foundation. $6 off iHerb or $10 from Kmart so it is very affordable.

Tips: The whole container isn't actually filled with product in case your wondering why it runs out quite quickly. There is a gap between the container and what the product is actually in.
This primer is a really great primer, and for the price you can't go wrong, although there isn't as much in there as it looks you don't real need to much for it to do its job, once I've put this on my face is so smooth and makes my makeup glide on just nicely, I highly recommend people to give it a go it's defiantly a great primer
This primer is really average. There's not much in it at all. It did make my skin very smooth and supple so I only wear it when I wear no makeup around the house. I use it with my double wear foundation and it makes my foundation slip right off my tzone.
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.
Tips: Let the primer dry for a few minutes before applying foundation
I was expecting great things from this primer but it really let me down. I have quite dry skin, and very crepey under my eyes, so I was hoping this primer would allow my concealer (I don't wear foundation) to glide on smoothly and help fill some of the lines so I'd get better coverage out of my concealer. Unfortunately it did none of those things. The silicone base was very off-putting too - it FELT smoothing, but didn't LOOK smoothing (if that makes any sense?). In any case, I moved onto another primer after only using it for a few days. I gave this one to my teenage daughter (combination skin, prone to break-outs) and she loves it! At least one of us is happy :-)
I bought this as my first primer purchase, because I'm not entirely sure what the product was meant to do, and also not convinced I needed it.
It goes on lovely and smooth and your skin feels quite silky with it on. Makeup went on quite well over top too. Didn't feel any different than without primer, but assumed it would help the makeup hold a little longer. I can't say I noticed my skin looking any better, or lines looking less noticeable. It was just okay.
For the money spent it was hard to be disappointed but it didn't sell me on the whole primer idea.
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!
Tips: Wait a few seconds until the primer has settled into your skin and dried before applying foundation.
I had never used a primer before using this product, so I can't compare primers, but compared to using a moisturiser prior to foundation this is FANTASTIC. It leaves my face feeling so smooth all day (I actually made people touch my face it was so smooth!). A little of the gel goes a long way too which is great, especially since it's a great price. Easy to use pump so you can never get too much product in your hand. I have noticed a great difference in my make-ups staying power - I still find at the end of the day my makeup looks good. I used to have issues with my eyeliner ending up on the top of my eyelid by the end of the day but not using this primer!
Tips: You can use this all over your face, eyelids and lips included and I find I only need a half-pump of product
