e.l.f Mineral Infused Primer

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 primer really does make your skin feel soft and flawless, but what I've found is that when I apply my makeup and I'm ready to go out not even half way through the day my makeup starts to slip off and get patchy in areas and it's just makes me feel oily. I really wish I liked it, but I don't it's really a horrible primer and I hate how my makeup looks during the day because of it.

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!

Well unfortunately I didn't get the hype with this product much to my disappointment. I found my make-up would pill using this and just didn't sit right.

I started using this primer and it was great it kept my foundation on and made it go on silky smooth. But then about 3 days later.. boom. Huuuge painful and embarassing acne breakout! I usually get one at a time and usually only my chin or forehead but I got acne all ovet my cheeks too! It was the most peculiar thing. I haven't used it for a month now and the acne has gone but my skin isn't the same anymore.. I hate this product :(

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 was given this as a gift. I had heard of how this was a good cheap primer so was eager to try it. Looks wise the packaging is simple but nice. The cap kept falling off in my bag so not ideal as I would end up with a mess in my makeup bag if I took this on trip. The primer spreads smoothly but it feels a bit heavy probably due to all the silicone. I found my makeup stayed on better and applied smoother than if I hadn't used a primer but I wasn't impressed by it. That being said it's one of the cheapest primers on the market so I didn't really have high hopes for it. I guess for the price it did a good job. I don't think I will repurchase this but I guess if you're on a really tight budget and just need a really primer this is worth a go. I didn't break out using this but it didn't feel really good on my skin either.

Ive been using this primer for a week now and I have noticed the difference in my foundation at the end of the day.

It no longer has the flaky look where my skin has a tendency to get dry.

It goes on so smoothly it feels like a powder on your skin, the downside of being clear is its hard to tell where its been applied.

For price its great and I use it every day but for special occasions where I really want my skin to stand out I think there is better but they of course come with a price.

I really need to try this some more. I've actually mostly used it on client and I don't know what went wrong but on several occasions the primer started coming off. I think I will give it a few more goes on myself. But so far I'm not particularly impressed.
