Plouise Base
I've been using the Plouise Base (shade rumour 02) for at least the past 5 years. I started using it on myself, then on models whom I was doing the makeup on for photoshoots. It's one of the best things I think I use. The product is also really versatile. Not only does it keep your eyeshadow in place for hours, dare I say days... But with just the one shade, if your skin tone matches, you have a concealer or a full cover foundation. You also can use the bases on your waterline for eyeliner, and on the lips too if you like a pale nude. Plus with it being just one product that multitasks it only takes up space of one item, not several.

Feels Amazing!
Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer by Dr. BRANDT make my skin look and feel amazing! It instantly minimizes the look of pores, absorbs oil and leaves a beautiful matte finish. It combines makeup and skin care in a primer, making it a quick fix for flawless looking skin. It is very easy to apply and blends evenly. Apply to clean, moisterized skin and then apply your makup or wear alone. I wear it alone and I love how it makes my skin look. It looks like I'm wearing light makeup. I have oily skin and this makes my skin completely shine free. It can also be used during the day for a quick fix over makeup on visible pores or shiny areas (one application lasts me all day!). It doesn't clog pores on my acne prone skin and it controls shine on my oily skin. I have been using for 2 weeks and it has visibly reduced the appearance of my pores. I love this Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer and I will definitely buy it again! I would recommend it to my friends.

Great, affordable primers!
Great, smoothing primer. Makes a huge difference in wear time and staying power. I learned pretty quickly that a little does a lot, and all 3 varieties here do what they say they will. I like the smaller sizes so I can toss them in my bag while I live life on the go. Very reasonably priced and I will keep these in my roster as long as I can.

Great for combination skin & HUGE pores!
I have large well, HUGE pores that I struggled with trying to cover up. I came across the “Poreless putty primer” by Elf and immediately it became my holy grail product. And I mean holy grail as in I keep two new ones on hand always! I also have combo skin, oily T zone, and flakes of dry skin elsewhere. This product works great with my skin type, it's very easy to apply as well, not thick or oily/grease feeling. It absorbs perfect and blends them pores miraculously! I highly recommend this product if you have any of the same skin concerns as me.

Doesnt blend in well
The e.l.f. Putty Primer has received mixed reviews, and unfortunately, my experience wasn't very positive. While the texture is smooth but it doesnt spread or blend in easily, I found that it didn’t provide the long-lasting hold I was hoping for. After a few hours, my makeup started to fade and didn’t look as fresh as it did initially. Additionally, I noticed that it can sometimes feel a bit heavy on the skin, which isn't ideal for those with oily or combination skin types. The packaging is also a bit inconvenient, as the pot can be tricky to open and close without making a mess. Overall, while it may work for some, I didn't find it to be the game-changer I expected.

Must have🥰
After a week of using the Rimmel Multi-tasker All Day Grip and Breathable Primer, I’m thoroughly impressed with how well it holds up on my oily skin. I’ve tried various primers to keep my makeup fresh, but this one truly stands out. The primer has a lightweight, smooth texture that’s easy to apply, creating a flawless base without feeling heavy or greasy. It doesn’t dry down to a flat matte finish but instead has a breathable, natural feel that leaves skin looking fresh rather than overly matte or shiny. I also appreciate that it doesn’t clog pores or cause any noticeable buildup throughout the day. The staying power of this primer is remarkable. It grips makeup firmly, helping it last for hours without sliding or fading. By the end of the day, my foundation still looks smooth and fresh, and I notice less breakthrough shine on my T-zone than usual. Unlike some primers that change the finish of my foundation, this one preserves the natural look of my makeup, which is a big plus.

HG product
A great holy grail products. I use this to add a bit of colour and light coverage to my face on no make up/natural days but this is also a great first step/primer before my foundation and helps blend it in well. The shades are decent too and there’s loads of product to use. Still not finished my bottle

Excellent
This is worth the hyper. A nice hydrating jelly primer that lets your make up grip to your face without becoming caked. Would recommend to anyone looking to make their make up last. Applied with my hands, applied my usual make up on top and it made it sit so well.

The best?
This products is the best if you want your eyeshadow to last and be more intense, give an even finish and makes shadow application easier, very creamy consistency easy to blend out whit a brush and dries down like a semi matte finish, all eyeshadow just sticks to it but you can still blend it, works well whit glitter or loose pigment too, absolutely love this base for my makeup.

I like it
I love this product; it works great! But it would be a 5-star product if the packaging were different. I had to use scissors to get the last bit out because it was stuck in the tube. I recommend the product because it does what you expect it to do. I used it before my normal hair routine on dry hair.

I LOVE!
This primer is an absolute godsend. I’m a dancer so with all the lights, sweat and the dancing my makeup stays on the entire show. When you first put the primer on your skin does feel sticky (I personally like that as I know my makeup will stay on) if you are someone who doesn’t like a sticky primer then you won’t like this. There also is no smell to the primer as some that I have used have had a fragrance to them or smell a bit funky. I just love this primer it just works so well with my makeup.

Nice one
*********** Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Hollywood Flawless Filter is beautiful. It's like adding a digital filter to a photo - it instantly lifts complexion, eliminates imperfections, and adds radiance. Combining these filter-like perfecting properties with the blurring benefits of a favourite foundation and the glow of a highlighter, this luscious liquid delivers a dewy, soft finish and illuminates skin in an instant. ****************

This primer is so good! It has a lovely tacky feel once it has dried down, helping your make up stay all day long! It’s light-weight and clog your pores. I have very sensitive skin and this works great, plus it is also super hydrating as well which is a bonus

Amazing
I was absolutely blown away with this primer! I thought it looked a bit gimmicky but I was definitely wrong. This is such a versatile primer, I test loads of different base products and I’m yet to find a foundation that this primer doesn’t agree with. It gives a nice bit of hydration and grip to the skin and just preps beautifully. This definitely helps with longevity so I highly recommend!

Perfect!
I used it during the day while it was warm. My make up lasted longer than it would normally do. It doesn't feel heavy at all and it doesn't have a sticky feeling. It has a smooth, kind of matte finish. I would recommend this for people with oily or combination skin.

Great lightweight product.
Benefit is stepping the game up! They came with this new product, better then the others before. My face feels soft when I wear this and keeps my face matte for hours! It is a good product (price / qualtity), it gets the job done. I don't get breakouts from it!
