Simply does not do what it is supposed to do which is fill and blur pores. I could not tell the difference in the appearance of my skin with it on. I expected it to work similar to the Maybelline Baby Skin primer which is blurring, but this is not at all similar.
Amazing item 💜

This gives a very nice, smooth, effect. The white is more of a blur effect. Love it and prefer over the 2 other ELF primers I tried. I'll be reordering this!
Holy grail!

My nose gets super oily and I use this around my T zone area and it works good! Pair it with the elf power grip primer, you won’t regret it.
My favorite!

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.
Great primer

I was skeptical about primers until recently (at over 50), but I was pleasantly surprised. It makes my make-up go on so much smoother and the luminous is apparently good for my spots. In any case, this has become part of my make-up routine to stay.
Love it

It just can’t stand against power grip. I like putting it on with the brush but when it comes time to repurchase I will stick to power grip.

Does nothing for my pale skin type. Doesn’t cover redness, doesn’t create an even surface to apply concealer. It just dries up and flakes on my skin, even when I’ve already applied moisturizer. Would not purchase again.

It does it's job perfectly, I'm just more of a power grip girlie. It made my pores invisible and held my makeup on very well.
This is the one for me

I bought this first in Nov 2023 and liked it. Since then, I’ve tried 3 other primers and finally came back to this. I’m in my 50s and pores are becoming more visible. This doesn’t completely hide them but does a really nice job blurring them. I’m about to purchase my 2d tub.
Hate it!

I hate literally everything about this primer: the packaging (why do I have to put my finger in it to apply?!), the feel, and most especially the complete lack of any sort of staying power. My makeup is sliding off my face within a few hours, by the end of the work day I look like I didn't even bother to put any on! I have been using this for a couple of week, so I really did give it a good try, it just doesn't work at all for me. I used to use ELF pink primer that had tea tree oil and kaolin clay in it and it was my HG product, I miss it so much! Why do companies always discontinue perfect products?
