e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer, Makeup Primer For Flawless, Smooth Skin & Long-Lasting Makeup, Fills In Pores & Fine Lines, Vegan & Cruelty-free, Large

First impressions: Compared to other primers I have tried (from Loreal and Revlon to name a few) I was surprised at how silky this primer felt. It took a little getting used to at first, but it was actually very pleasant. Application and quality: As for how it worked as a base, I am very pleased with it. It made the application of my foundation super smooth and did a good job blurring my pores. I am prone to oil on certain parts of my face, and was a bit worried that the hydrating aspect of the primer and the silkiness might contribute to an oily appearance, but with my use of it so far, I've not had any such troubles. It leaves my skin nice and matt, but feeling hydrated. It's incredibly lightweight, so it's fantastic if you don't like the feeling of having a lot on your skin. Value for money: I would say it's worth it. The price seems standard for primer, the quality is great, and a little primer goes a long way so it should last a while.

This review is of the hydrating face primer. I love this stuff, it feels wonderful on my skin and glides over it allowing very easy foundation application. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. I would say it’s more suitable to dry skin as the name suggests, it’s hydrating. Will buy again!

I recently tried the elf Hydrating Face Primer, and I have to say, my experience with it has been a bit mixed. While it didn't quite meet my personal expectations, I have noticed that my niece absolutely loves it. One of the standout features of this primer is its lightweight formula. It feels incredibly light on the skin, almost as if you're wearing nothing at all. It doesn't leave any greasy or heavy residue, which is a big plus for those with oily or combination skin. I also appreciate the hydrating properties of this primer. It does a decent job of moisturizing the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. I noticed that it helps to smooth out any dry patches, providing a more even canvas for makeup application. Additionally, this primer claims to fill in pores and fine lines, and while it does a decent job in that regard, I didn't notice a significant difference in the appearance of my pores or fine lines. It provided a subtle smoothing effect, but not to the extent that I was hoping for. One aspect that I found particularly beneficial was the natural matte finish. It helped to control shine and kept my makeup looking fresh for a longer duration. However, I did find that it emphasized any texture on my skin, such as acne scars or bumps. While I had mixed feelings about this primer, my niece, who has different skin concerns, absolutely loves it. She has dry skin and found that this primer provided the perfect amount of hydration for her. It also helped to prolong the wear of her makeup and created a smooth base for foundation. In conclusion, the elf Hydrating Face Primer is a lightweight and hydrating option that provides a natural matte finish. While it didn't completely meet my personal expectations in terms of pore-filling and line-smoothing abilities, it has proven to be a great fit for my niece's dry skin. If you have similar skin concerns, this primer may be worth a try.

Lovely face primer , gives a soft glow on skin

its ok it keeps makeup on for a bit longer but makes my face feel greasy and if i accidentally touch my face it leaves fingerprints everywhere. make sure you put lashes on before applying this.

Smoothing base for makeup. I like how it feels on my skin. Makes skin look smooth and soft.

Easy to apply very smooth and worth using under foundation, a little goes a long way

I was looking for a primer that would be great for dry skin. This primer was great at blurring pores and creating a smooth base for makeup to go on but for me it felt oily rather than hydrating so when putting on makeup, it felt like it was slipping off and no hydrating my skin.
