e.l.f Mineral Infused Face Primer, Tone Adjusting Green

I really love this primer. Its pretty much the same as the Clear one by E.L.F but it tones down redness. Its silky and smooth, makes your makeup glide on so much easier. You only need one pump as a little goes a long way.

It comes out green, so down be alarmed it won't look like that on your face as it sinks into your skin and adjusts to your tone. Its in a pump bottle which is really good, and easy to get out.

Also, when you can't get anymore product out, you can unscrew the top and get any remaining primer out that way. It doesn't smell of anything, so no surprise, disgusting smell that will knock your socks off lol.

I purchased this off iherb as I wanted to try a new colour correcting primer. I'd read good reviews about it but wasn't sure I would like it as I'd never tried a mineral infused primer before.

One of the first things that struck me was the packaging. I love how it looks - it is so clean and sleek and the pump is awesome. The only issue with the packaging is that you can't tell how much product you have left.

This feels quite silicone-ish which doesn't bother me whatsoever but others may not like. This glides on my skin really easily and makes it feel silky and diminishes the redness in my face. Because the pump is easy to use, you're not going to waste any product. Beware though, you only need a small amount for your entire face - one pump is sufficient.

This does help my foundation set nicely and prolong it's use. My foundation doesn't slide around my face or move throughout the day.

This definitely helps conceal my redness and it feels slightly moisturising too.

I love this so much I bought 2 more of this when ELF recently had a sale. I won't be going back to previous colour correcting primers as I love how this works for me (and it's completely scent less, yay!).

I definitely recommend you give this a try.

I purchased this off Iherb and have been using it for a couple of weeks now, Packaging is classy, white, silver and clear pump bottle, it is a shame you can't see how much is left in the bottle though. You only need the smallest amount, 1 pump will do a little goes a long way.

It does have silica in it, so it has that silicone feel to it, glides on smoothly and leaves that soft silky feel to your skin.

It is a light olive green colour, but once emulsified into your fingers and face, it goes clear, but takes down any redness and irritation.

I have Irish in my blood so I get the days where my cheeks and nose especially get the nice red hue to them, I used to always use a green concealer but always felt heavy on my face. This product leaves my face feeling light and my foundation goes on smoothly.

I do find that later in the day, my nose starts to look flaky and patchy as the foundation starts to come off due to the primer staying quite moist.

Is a great product for the price!

I purchased this off iherb a while ago and before purchasing was not a loyal primer user. The two elf primers I have tried have converted me to using primer on an everyday basis. I have visible pores around my nose and cheek area and find foundation often seems to make my pores even more visible by sitting on the skin or sinking into the pores and making my skin look the opposite of the smoothness I desire. I also have redness around my nose which I really don't like. I have very sensitive dry skin so have avoided primers in the past as it is just another product piled onto my sensitive skin that could reek havoc and cause more dryness, irritation or breakouts. I am happy to say this primer has done none of the above and nothing but good things for my skin.

I find one pump of this product is the perfect amount to cover my entire face and comes cleanly and evenly out of the pump. I concentrate the product most on my nose/cheek area where I have issues with my pores and redness and also my nose, chin and forehead for any oiliness that may developed during the day (although for me this is usually only necessary in summer as my skin does not get particularly oily). The vibrant green colour of this primer is a tad concerning the first time you use it, but, I assure you it is transparent in colour when applied to the skin (So no need to worry about looking like the hulk).

The texture of this primer is similar to most silicone based primers and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and soft. I find it helps smooth over dry patches, definitely reduces the size of my pores and their visibility under foundation and prolongs the wear time of my foundation or bb cream. I find it doesn't completely eliminate redness but most definitely reduces it and when I apply foundation over this my redness is gone baby gone! I am extremely impressed! I like to leave the primer for a few minutes to let it truly sink into the skin and just leave a gorgeously smooth canvas for my following makeup.

The packaging of this is plain, simple and sleek with a super handy pump disperser. Other primers I have used, just come in a squeeze tube and I find getting the perfect amount of product a bit of a battle. With this I don't even have to think about it as one pump is perfect and mess free.

In my opinion this is a fantastic primer irrelevant of the price. The super cheap price just makes it all the more amazing. For $6 I think this is a must have for everyone. I will definitely be repurchasing this and continuing to use it on a daily basis.

Let me preface this by saying DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE BOTTLE! When I bought this I thought WOW! What a great price! But in reality, the product inside is in a teeny tiny tube so you're probably paying close to a non-drugstore brand if you were to compare size for size. Does that make sense? Despite this, it's lasted me about a month and that includes pulling the pump off and scraping the tube out :P Anyway apart from the very underhanded tactics, I genuinely love the primer inside. I use about 1 and a half to 2 pumps for my entire face. The green definitely cancels out some red. Obviously if you have serious redness you'd be better off with a green concealer but this does the trick for me. The consistency is thick and smooth but is a bit drying. That's perfect for me as my skin is more normal to oily. Does it smooth out my skin? To be honest I have pretty good skin and small pores (thanks GlamGlow super mud!!) so I didn't notice much of a difference. That said, I forgot to put it on one morning and my foundation just wouldn't cooperate! Once I realised I had forgotten my primer I took the foundation off and started again and had total success! So it must work, right? I don't think it particularly helps to keep the makeup in place any longer but as I said, it certainly helps with foundation application. Will I buy it again? Possibly but I think this time I will spend the extra money on the Smashbox one as it'll last me a lot longer.

I am new to having a primer experience, and I can't believe I've been missing out. As soon as I put it on my skin, I stood there with my mouth wide open running my fingers around my face. Unbelievable.

First I do want to talk about the packaging. The product looks like a decent size of any normal foundation bottle, but I managed to open it up, and a much smaller container comes out and you can see that there is way less product in there than you think. I think it'll probably only last one month if used everyday but in saying that, the price is very reasonable.

It comes out in a nice clear gel, and blends in so very quickly and smoothly. My skin feels like a baby! Like a brand new baby fresh out the womb! Omg. It is unbelievable smoothness, and I'm considering even throwing out my moisturiser and using this everyday instead. It makes the very large pores visibly smaller and creates an amazing base for the foundation to go on after. But I doesn't exactly work for the smaller pores, or take the redness of my skin away.

There is no smell to it, and I haven't broken out, or had a sensitive skin outburst so all good signs there.

I noticed that it works better on some areas of the face than others. It was more effective in smoothening and decreasing the look of pores on my cheeks then it was on my nose.

I applied this on my mum's face which is very very oily, and it had a really gross affect, that only made her skin appear and feel wet, so I don't recommend it if you do have very touchably oily skin.

I really like this primer, I have a lot of redness on my face and thought this did a pretty good job of correcting it. The only downside is the amount of product you get, it looks like alot but i found i went through it really fast. Would recommend though

I really wasn't sure that such an affordable primer would work, but it is awesome.

I have redness in my cheeks/nose area and as soon as I apply it I notice a difference in my skin tone. I try and let it settle into my skin for a few minutes before I start applying my foundation and then set with a powder.

It feels so silky smooth to apply, a little bit goes a long way and my foundation just sits on my skin so much nicer. I also find that it helps to disguise the scaring I have from break outs as it sort of fills in any imperfections.

This product reminds me of the Smashbox green primer and its a fraction of the price, definitely worth trying it.

I like e.l.f primers. They're the first primers I ever brought, and I got them off of iHerb which opened up a can of worms on it's own ;-). After using the normal mineral infused one, I decided to try the green one, as I have a bit of redness in my cheeks which drives me crazy and often isn't covered by foundation.

The color of the actual product is gorgeous, it reminds me of lush forests. It feels very silicone like, but it's not a bad feeling? I rub it all over my face and my face becomes so super smooth. I like to touch it a lot after haha! It holds my make up all day, except for parts like around my nose, but I don't expect miracles!

Upon application of this silky product I don't really notice that it covers the red. I apply it over top of moisturizer and let it sit for a few minutes before I apply any foundation or BB cream. Once the brown goo has been applied though, I do see less of the red coming through, so I suppose it works a little. I just wish it was instant action rather than covering it up! But never mind.

You really don't need more than a pump of this stuff. I put the little pea sized (and colored!) ball on my middle finger and rub it with my other hand, and away I go. One pump is more than enough to cover your whole face! So while I have something else that I use now, I would definitely repurchase this primer. For the price it works better than expected!

I've been reading some other reviews on here that say that this product doesn't take away any redness from their complexion. For me it's the complete opposite. As soon as I apply this product to my face, the redness pretty much disappears. So much so that if my skin tone wasn't uneven I would wear this only and no foundation. I also have noticed my skin improving as well in terms of the redness without makeup on.

I am a little different to everyone else, and apply 3 pumps of the product to my face. This might have something to do with the minimisation of the redness on my face, but can't be too sure.

I also have to say that wearing this primer seems to make my foundation last that much longer.

I am definitely going to repurchase this primer when it runs out, as it seems to work for me.
