For a very cheap primer, I think this is great. It has a silicone smooth texture which glides on the skin. It really does fill in the lines on my face and smoothens it out making my foundation application better. It is not the best primer out there but for its price, it's great. I love how this feels on the skin and I like how it has a pump which makes it easy to use. This is a good every day primer that won't break the bank.

The e.l.f Mineral Infused Primer is a very good product for the price. It provides a smooth base for your makeup, I really like how my face feels after I use this primer. It also mattifies your face and prolongs your makeup like it claims. Feels like the bottle runs out very quickly though.
For how much this product costs, the quality of it is amazing, it gives such a lovely smooth base for your foundation and makes it last all day with out your foundation separating or moving on your skin, it also mattifies your skin this primer is a clear gel and does have a silicon feel to it, you defiantly don't need to use a lot of this as a little bit would still do wonders. The packaging is good also, it comes with a pump which is very hygienic :) would defiantly recommend this primer to people who don't want to spend a lot of money!!
Tips: i suggest that after you have applied the product to your face, you wait awhile for it to set in before you apply your foundation on top :)
As usual for me when doing an order on iherb I checked the e.l.f. section. I recently tried the Maybelline baby skin and wasn't the biggest fan, so thought I would start trying something else.
The packaging for this looks super highend which I love. If it wasn't made out of plastic you would be forgiven for thinking it was something very highend. The bottom half is like a frosted glass. It has a nice lid, although it doesn't stay on particularly well so I don't think this will be travelling with me.
The product itself is quite thick so it comes out of the pump in a wee line like spaghetti. Kinda weird. Even though it looks quite thick it still melts into the skin and is really easy to apply. It feels extremely silicone-y and creates a really smooth base for makeup. I did find that my makeup didn't sink into my skin quite as nicely with this on, but I think that is to be expected with some more silicone type primers. I did find that this made my foundation last really nicely during the day and it didn't break down during the day.
Because I'm not a big fan of how this feels on the skin (too silicone like for me) I think I will pass this on. But if you don't mind that this certainly is an awesome primer that I would recommend.
This product comes in a simple, yet classy looking casing. However it is very deceiving with how much you actually get, because it looks like you are getting the whole bottle but really you only get a little bit in it because it's double cased. It applies really smoothly it does feel thick but I actually don't mind how it feels on my face. It also makes my makeup apply a lot smoother and just nicer in general. It is very affordable as well!
Tips: Let dry a little bit before applying makeup.
If you’re after a primer that gives you a great canvas to work with then this is it. I use several primers as I find they all seem to sit differently on the skin. This is probably my favourite more affordable brand. I paid about $12 for this at Kmart and have not been disappointed. It’s comes in a lovely frosted heavy plastic pump that dispenses just the right amount of product. It glides on easily and preps the skin nicely. There is a Pore Filling one available but this tends to blur a little anyway. The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is because it doesn’t really extend the wear of my foundation by that much but I will definitely keep purchasing this product as for $12 it is great value for money.
I have to admit that I haven't been using primers for that long, maybe the last 6-8 months so I have only tried a few cheaper versions of it so I don't have much to compare it too. This goes on easily, and gives my face a silky finish. I don't think it does much with my pores and I don't think it helps much with staying power either. BUT I do get a decent finish after using this product and that is the main thing. It is cheap and reliable, I will continue to use this and will repurchase. They also have a green based primer which I would love to have a go with too.
Tips: you don't need a lot of product, so start with a pump or two and go from there. I've also learnt that if you look underneath it, you can sort of tell how much product is left in it. Took me till I'd almost finished before I worked that one out!
Awesome for the price! It does a good job at making skin smooth and I do use it religiously as I like the way that it feels when applied, however, I'm not too sure that it makes my makeup last for a long time. In saying that, it does really well considering the low price I paid for it :)
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!
I like ELF. This was the first primer I ever bough after watching a girl on YouTube, and she showed off ELF and I couldn't believe how cheap everything was! I purchased my bottle off of iHerb (which I found at the same time as ELF, dangerous). I paid about $6 or $7 USD.
The bottle is white with a clear lid and white and silver pump. If you look at the bottom you can see the little pump thing that pushes the product up. The product itself is a clear and gel like, and applies like a dream. My face is so soft! I let this sink in for a few minutes before applying any foundation.
I find it holds my foundation fairly well over the day, with only a bit of wear in tear in places like around my nose, or mouth. I really like this primer and I would gladly buy it again!
