Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review of the elf Cosmetics Poreless Putty Primer.
I’ve been using my Clarins primer for years and once my umpteenth bottle was empty, I’ve decided to try something new.
This elf primer has a huge following and people say it’s a dupe for the Tatcha one, I can’t get that one in Italy so I can’t compare them, I can just tell you if I like this one or not.
You can buy it here for 9$.
PACKAGING
It comes in a plastic pot like a cream, it’s not the most sanitary packaging but it feels very nice and fancy.
The pot only is pretty big and you need the smallest amount so it will probably last for a while.
Formula
This primer feels like a normal cream with a bit of silicone slip and the pink tint makes the skin look more radiant.
It doesn’t feel greasy. Once you put it on it’s a little shiny but it dries into a matte finish.
It makes my skin quite smooth and it’s pore filling, I really like the effect on me.
Application
The best way to apply it is by dabbing it on with your fingers.
Swatch
Primer + Foundation 
LASTING POWER
It makes my foundation last for 5-6 hours before it starts to break and I need to repowder.
RATINGS:
- Effect: 8/10
- Longevity: 8/10
- Application: 8/10
- Formula: 9/10
- Packaging: 9/10
GRADE: B+
I really like this primer, I’ve been using it a lot. It makes my skin super smooth and poreless. I’m not the biggest fan of the packaging because it’s not the most sanitary but for the price, it’s a very good one. It lasts a long time too.

I love their products. I’ve never used their primer, so I will definitely grab some to try next time I’m out.
It’s so good!
What is primer??? I never even heard of this, now I need this – Ineed something to even out my face!
Its a base you put on before foundation to smooth out pores/wrinkles and to make the foundation last longer
Wonderful review!! I really want to start buying Elf products, but I am still on a no-makeup-buy 😂😂 I guess I’ll have to wait
Hahahah I bet you’ll love it
Good to know. I’ve heard good things about many Elf products but haven’t tried them. I can always use a good primer!
This is amazing!
I didn’t get on with this one too well because I felt like it clogged my pores. I do love the Clarins one though!
God the Clarins one is so good!
I have other types of primers that I love but it’s just the best blurring primer!
Right?!? Why it deserves so much more love!
I’ve never tried a primer like this before. But I do love using Elf products. Love how they last a long time too!
I’m in love x
I love elf cosmetics and this is worth the try! I won’t say no to a good primer!
It’s so good!
I don’t use primers like this myself, but I’ve heard all the hype and most people seem to like this one; and if you can save money over getting the Tatcha one, why not?
Agree! And since I can’t buy tatcha here it’s a win win situation for me c
