    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was okay, I generally love elf products but this one was kinda melted and hard to apply. I personally wouldn’t buy this but maybe it was user error too and I didn’t store it properly.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love putting this primer on before my foundation. It’s super refreshing and makes my foundation glide in so much smoother. Love the fact that it’s in a stick form. Makes it easy to apply or throw it in my makeup bag.

    AMAZING,affordable primer for dry skin

    4 out of 5 stars
    Srb08 - 21 days ago
    originally posted on elfcosmetics.com
    It shocks me to hear that others do not like this product! I have to say that this is one of my favorite products that elf has ever made and I'm not exaggerating that. It's very affordable which is also a huge plus. I find myself reaching for it whenever I want my make up base to look hydrated and for my make up to look presentable. I know that i can count on this primer every time. I always moisturize my skin before doing any make up routine and before applying any primer and I advise you to do so before using this product or any primer ect. I've never been a big primer fan, but this product has changed my mind, so it is shocking to read/ hear that it didnt preform as well for others, like it did for me. My skin is on the dry side and I feel like it is more for people with dry skin. It made my face feel hydrated and made my foundation go on effortlessly for a perfect, smooth looking base. I wouldn't say that it makes your make up last any longer than your typical primer, but my foundation doesn't look as good without it and it seems to make any cakiness disappear. I find that it works well with other products and doesn't pill. I think I will always use this primer as long as it's never Discontinued. However, I don't get a cooling effect on my skin from it like it claims. I feel like the daily dew stick product gives me more of a cooling effect, but it's not a deal breaker. I think it's a great primer for summer. I didn't expect to like this product as much as I do! I recommend it for those on a budget who have dry skin and who are looking to try a new primer. Great product!!

I was happy that it was light weight and kept my face cool. It’s not thick or milky or leave any residue. It doesn’t have a scent which is fantastic. My face felt amazing.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The e.l.f. Cosmetics Stay Cool Primer Stick is a gel-based primer designed to hydrate and soothe the skin while providing a refreshing cooling sensation. Infused with aloe water, it prepares the skin for smooth makeup application and offers a mess-free, portable design ideal for on-the-go use.   Key Features: • Hydration and Cooling: The primer delivers a burst of hydration and imparts a cooling feel upon application, enhancing the overall makeup experience.  • Infused with Aloe Water: Aloe water is known for its soothing and hydrating properties, contributing to the primer’s skin-refreshing benefits.  • Convenient Application: The solid gel stick format allows for easy, mess-free application, making it suitable for travel and quick touch-ups.  Pros: • Hydrating Formula: Users have noted that the primer provides a hydrating effect, leaving the skin feeling refreshed.  • Cooling Sensation: The cooling effect is appreciated by many, offering a pleasant experience during application. • Smooth Makeup Application: The primer effectively preps the skin, allowing for smoother foundation application.  Cons: • Performance on Oily Skin: Some users with oily skin types have reported that the primer did not meet their expectations in terms of makeup longevity and pore coverage.  • Cooling Effect Variability: A few users mentioned that the cooling sensation was minimal, describing it as similar to applying water.  User Experiences: • A reviewer on Walmart’s website stated, “It feels good and hydrating.”  • Another user from Target’s website mentioned, “This product is so cooling and keeps my makeup on all day.”  Conclusion: The e.l.f. Cosmetics Stay Cool Primer Stick offers a hydrating and cooling base for makeup application, particularly benefiting those with normal to dry skin types. Its convenient stick format and infusion of aloe water make it a refreshing addition to a makeup routine. However, individuals with oily skin may need to assess its performance based on their specific needs.
