This is the first primer I've ever used so I don't really have anything to compare it to. In saying that, I really like this product. Before purchasing I read a lot of reviews to make sure it was going to be a good purchase and I haven't been disappointed. The texture is so velvety and smooth, I can't even feel it on my skin. I have noticed that my foundation is easier to buff into my skin and gives it a really airbrushed flawless look. My foundation doesn't wipe off as easy, making it last longer. I'm really enjoying using this product!

Love the elf range and especially this primer! Made my skin feel very smoothe and my make up went on perfectly! I loved the gel consistency! It was very easy to apply! Its so affordable and well worth the money spent! Towards the end of the day my skin seemed abit oily but im not to sure if it was caused by this product! Overall I really liked this and will be using it again!!
Good primer but when I opened it had hardly any primer in the bottle. Made my skin feel really silky witch I didnt like also didnt feel like it went into my skin just felt like it sat on top
I love this primer, it has a velvety feel to it and i only ever needed one or two pumps to cover my entire face. It helped keep my makeup on all day which is good. The only downfall i found is the size, It doesn't last very long and when i took the top off there was still quite a bit in it but it couldn't be pumped out. Still not too bad since it's pretty cheap.
Tips: I recommend letting it dry for a few minutes before applying makeup.
I used this primer for a few weeks but found it clogged my pores! I don't know if this is because of my winter skin but I found it dried my skin a bit and made my makeup slide around my face a whole lot more. My makeup was more noticeably slipping and wiping off. I was so disappointed to see these results and once my skin started breaking out on my cheek (which never really happens) i stopped using it.
Also, the packaging is terrible quality but for $3 (on i herb) i guess you can expect that. The lid doesn't stay on, theres way less product than you expect and the plastic is very tacky and cheap.
I might give this another go when my skin is acting more normal and will update my experience then but so far, for winter skin this is a definite no no for me!
Love! I have sensitive skin and wondered how I'd go with this as I've never used primer before. Wow!
It's packaging is pretty basic. Takes a few pumps to get the product to start flowing for the first time.
The primer is a clear gel looking stuff.,it glides on super smooth. I use my fingers to apply and even my fingers feel smoother! You don't need much at all.
I use it under my BB cream, BB foundation and just foundation. It really does make your skin look more flawless and smoother. I also notice that a few pores that are bigger, are hidden better. Even if my skin is dry, this helps hide the dryness.
I've already got the second bottle waiting for when I run out. I suggest you do the same. Use this so you don't need so much BB or foundation
Tips: Apply moisturiser about 5 minutes before applying the elf primer if you have dry skin
This primer is an amazing price (about $3 on iHerb) and feels truly like silk when you rub it on your skin. It works great on my sensitive skin and doesn't cause a burning feeling like a couple of other primers I have tried. I have also found it reduces the size of the pores around my nose and creates this amazing base for my liquid foundation.
I just love this primer!
Tips: As this is silicon based primer, use it under a silicon based foundation for the best results
I LOOOVE this product and use it as my 'everyday' primer. It has a silky smooth silicone feel which I love and makes my foundation glide on over top. I have normal skin and this primer works great for me.
I didn't give this product a full 5/5 as while I like the packaging look, I found the pump to be cheaply made and doesn't always work. Sometimes i have to pump 3-4 times for one pumps worth to 'splatter' out but then other times the pump works fine. Other than this minor detail the product inside works great and I find this a great cheaper alternative to Smashbox's very popular Photo Finish primer - which I also own, and love. I also didn't notice much of a difference in pore size with this product although this really wasn't what I bought it for so I'm not too worried by this.
The price is great, I bought it off the elf website during a sale however I know that you can also get it for around $3-6 off iherb.
I would recommend this primer to anyone looking for a cheap everyday primer, or to someone who is new to using primers and doesn't want to fork out for a high-end one just yet.
This is a silicone primer, so if you know you don't like these types of primers I would say this one definately isn't for you :)
Tips: I use about two pumps worth to cover my entire face - if you use too much you end up causing the foundation to slide around on your face as well!
The e.l.f. Mineral Infused Primer is quite different from other primers which I've used. The consistency is quite thick and clear, but smooths onto your face in a thin, filmy layer.
I do really like the packaging of this primer; it comes in a pretty, frosted glass-style pump bottle so it's super easy to disperse how much product you need.
It definitely helped to smooth out my skin and make my foundation go on more easily. I'm not too sure about whether or not it actually helped my foundation to last longer, but I will continue to use it because it seemed to definitely help make my makeup look better.
I bought this to try a primer for the first time, and I loved it. Made my skin feel silky smooth, my foundation lasted a couple of hours longer and it looked so much better. So so so happy. No other primer i have tried compaires. Just love it!
