Matte Putty Primer

I'm a makeup artist and salon owner and i use this great primer. It's creamy, pore filling, no scent, lasts all day. I have ice pick/ boxcar scars on my cheeks. Im always looking for something to cover/ fill them in for a smooth look under makeup. For the reasonable pricepoint, this is the best primer i've bought. Ive used high end pore fillers fom benefit, lancome, laura gellar, among others and drugstore from loreal, hard candy, every spackle ptrimer with a magical claim. This elf pore filling primer is hands down my fav. It doesnt get greasy or break me out, its non fragranced, lightweight, yet thick enough to fill in my craters. I'm on subscribe and save and I;ll continue to automatically repurchase.

OK not to sound too cliché but I don't write reviews like ever. OK now that's out of the way let's run it down. This stuff is a miracle. I heard about it, saw it, read reviews and hesitated I'll admit. I was like putty....blech...I have mixed skin which if you know you know. It's where your skin is dry in patches but then has the Exon oil run off flowing free in others. So yeah you need that moisturizer, but guess what buddy you're welcoming the pimple band to play all day in return. Oh your skin is oily, well that made for oily skin product is gonna get cakey in an hour and you're gonna have dry cracked scales like a serpent succubus. It's a hard thing to balance out and the thought of something thick laying on my face before I put on makeup was a full stop "oh hell no" moment. However one of my friends swears by it and she always looks like she woke up with a damn snap chat filter stapled to her face so I figured what the hey its a cheap price and I've definitely spent way more trying to figure out how to work this face why not give it a whirl. WELL LET ME TELL YOU GOOD PEEPS. This stuff is amaze balls. It comes in a tub and looks thick or pasty but looks are deceiving in this tiny tub of angel kisses. When you touch it turns into a smooth and light texture almost like a gel lotion but it's not. It goes on so smooth and you don't need alot but has a consistency that allows you to layer/build as needed. I actually saw my pores disappear and my texture was velvety without feeling oily and/or sticky which I've found some primers made for mixed skin do. The color in the tub is a slight rose color but on your skin doesn't leave a tinted pigment BUT DID even out some of my redness or discoloration caused by past acne ( the pimple band likes to leave its marks my friends). My foundation went on smoothly and I found I need to dab less to blend with the trusty blending egg then without this tub of magic. My makeup stayed on longer than all day in perfect condition. No lie. I work in a medical setting AND then bartend at night and apart from my dead inside eyes when I looked in the mirror my makeup was damn flawless. Trust me when I say to you just get the dang thing. For this price and the amount you get it's well worth it.

I had been hearing rave reviews online for E.L.F.'s new Poreless Putty Primer and I just had to try it. I'm a woman in her 50s who has good skin but definitely has a few wrinkles. I also have dry skin and tend to perspire badly when I'm wearing makeup, especially in the summertime heat. It's difficult to find a primer that will truly fill in those pores and fine lines without looking caked on and I cannot afford the high-end primers that cost upward of $25 but for $8 it was worth trying. E.L.F.'s Poreless Putty comes in illuminating and matte and for a woman in her 50s, we don't use matte unless we want makeup to cake into those fine lines and magnify them. I crossed my fingers and ordered the illuminating type. It arrived it within 5 days, was packaged well so the putty disc was not damaged. It has a pleasant but faint smell which I appreciate because I don't like every makeup and hair product to be so scented that they clash and overpower my perfume. It also had a very velvety feel to it. It was soft and easy to apply. I first tried the primer on the back of my hand and saw that it looked moisturized and had a nice satin finish but I didn't see that it was hiding the lines on the back of my hand at all. I discarded it as another product for younger skin. I threw it in my makeup case for the next time I did a full face makeup application. When that time came I had few expectations that it was going to be the miracle product I'd heard about...but it was! I didn't notice a big difference after just applying the primer and I applied a liberal coating, however, when I put my foundation over it I was surprised to see that my face had a beautiful, subtle glow to it which camouflaged the pores and fine lines after all! My makeup looked like I applied it with an airbrush and my foundation went on smoother and I used less of it. Still, the big test was if I would sweat it off within an hour like I usually did. I didn't. I wore it for six hours before removing it and although it was 90 degrees outside, my makeup stayed firmly in place. I was very impressed. My daughter even asked me what I had done different with my makeup and that it looked really good. For $8 this is a product you shouldn't go without, especially if you are on the flipside of 40. It revitalizes the look of your skin giving it a young, dewy finish that didn't look fake. It looked healthy. That's hard to beat at my age! Great product.

Very silky feel and silky finish on skin. It's easier to apply more where needed without wasting produce. I use on entire face including eye lids and lips. Smooth glide for under eyes without pulling. Foundation does applies like a silk canvas.

Although I read very high reviews on this product before I purchased it, I was not all that impressed. It does hold make up in place for quite awhile, however as far was pore coverage it was average.

Wonderful product. There is also a glowy version that is equally as good. Can't say enough good things re it's use on mature skin.

One of my favorite putty primer by elf gives me smooth base for foundation application and makes my pores blurred and disappeared

It's like butter for your skin! It glides on so beautifully and does what it needs to.
