I tried the elf regular putty primer and it made me break out. But this one did not now I'm not sure why that is but I'm happy! I love incorporating vitamin c and any and all steps of my skincare routine! If I could bathe in vitamin c i would! This does a great job at smoothing out my face I wouldn't say it's poor perfecting per se the original does a better job at that but again it makes me break out so I can't use it this however helps but I just love the actual glow that it leaves on my face not too much once I put on my foundation it's the perfect amount of healthy! Glad I'm able to use one of these primers without any issues! Again with the great products and the low prices I'm loving it!

I really love the C-Bright Putty Primer! It applies so easily with the elf Putty Primer Applicator/Brush. It feels velvety smooth on my face, gives my skin a nice, smooth canvas for makeup, and keeps my makeup looking nice all day!

I love this primer and it's currently all I use. It feels so soft on my skin and leaves it smooth for foundation. I don't feel oily or greasy after using it. I haven't noticed anything smudging or moving on my makeup. The texture of the actual product is amazing, it's smooth like a body butter. I don't like touching it with my fingers all the time and have been using the e.l.f. Primer brush with it.

I bought this to try in place of the putty primer. I would prefer to use the putty primer and just add my glowy makeup. I don’t really notice a difference when using this as my primer vs the putty

I use this and the poreless putty primer mixed together and sometimes even without foundation and it looks super good as a base or the whole thing by itself! Last a long time!

If you have a sensitivity to vitamin C serums or creams, I wouldn’t recommend this product. I was hoping my skin could tolerate it in this form, but I had a reaction after wearing and my skin is very irritated, swollen, and red, much like a sun burn.

I wish this was a foundation. I love the putty texture feel and light weight formula. Unfortunately this is just a primer and because of its intention, you have to wear this under foundation or as a highlighter. A friend told me I looked too bright, like a light bulb under certain lighting.

I struggle with dryness around my nose and was looking for a primer that would help. This has. I tend to wear it even on no make up days apied after my cleanse and moisturise and this has helped my dry patches.

Dewy Primer

5 out of 5 stars
GardenMom - 2 years ago

I first tried the C-Bright Putty Primer when I received a sample with an order. I loved it! This primer moisturizes and brightens my normal skin. I prefer the gripping primer under dewy makeup, while C-Bright is excellent under ELF's CC foundation and other foundations that are matte or have a natural finish. C-Bright's properties make it best for use in cooler weather for me, or while working indoors in air conditioning where my skin can get dry.

Not very much like a primer for me...

I don't feel like this did much for my skin. It does feel good going on (very cool and light) but I didn't see any noticeable difference in my skin. It didn't brighten my skin or "prime" it at all. I prefer the luminous primer to this one. I don't know - it may work great for other people, it just didn't do much for me.

I like it but don't know if I'll buy again. I need moisture, & this is slightly drier than I'd like. I like the luminous putty a lot better.
