I loved it! it was a beautiful makeup product, I would buy it again. it goes smooth on the skin and for almost every skin type. I run out of it quickly and it is kind of expensive what is less. but it is worth the price, and a perfect present for a girl who loves make up.

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.

As a primer OK
This brand was purchased to me unprecedented and in good luck. A few drops on fingers/Mu sponge are enough to rub your face in. Your skin is boosted and looks fresh. The primer comes in different colors. Given the little administration, you can enjoy it for a long time. Negative? The slightly clumsy bottle maybe, but always puts it in reverse somewhere and the liquid pops up quickly and easily when used. Gets a 3/5. It's enough as a primer, but I miss the promised glow. _________ Review was given earlier; product only now added to product list.

Good
Good product, very sticky and works well at keeping makeup on. Only downside to it is it doesn’t pair well with some products like certain concealers and cause the products to separate. The products not pore clogging and doesn’t upset my acne prone skin.

Elf Power Grip Primer
I’ve used a lot of primers throughout my years of makeup but I honestly think this is the best one I’ve used! I remember seeing this in the shop as a kid and buying it because it was cheap but honestly it’s so worth the hype it has now. Keeps your makeup stuck to your face all day

Filter Finish
I use this product regularly when i want some light coverage. I use a concealer under it and it is great on top. The applicator stick is perfect size for dispensing the product. The product itself is great, doesn’t break me out in acne, is affordable and isn’t too shiny on the skin. It creates a perfect natural cover which could be buildable.

Perfectly smooth base for my makeup
MARSHMALLOW primer creates a perfectly smooth base for my makeup! Lovely texture which becomes completely transparent once applied. This primer smoothes, softens, hydrates, soothes, prolongs makeup wear, evens tone, minimizes texture and blurs lines. Moreover, it’s a 100% vegan formula and smells soooo good!

Great stuff
I always use a primer before applying any make up. This stuff is great. Gives my make up real staying power. It smells good to and is also cruelty free which is a big plus. I always use my hands to apply a primer. Full size product costs about £10 which isn't bad for the size as a little goes a long way with this.

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
