e.l.f. Liquid Poreless Putty Primer, 0.94 fl oz

Finally, a Primer That Doesn't Make Me Look Like a Glazed Donut I've tried more primers than I care to admit, and most either do nothing or leave my face feeling like I dipped it in cooking oil. This liquid version of the popular putty primer caught my attention because the original putty was too thick for my morning rush. The texture is silky without being greasy, and it glides on smoothly without pilling up or fighting with my moisturizer. A little goes a long way—one pump covers my entire face and neck. It blurs my pores noticeably without completely erasing them to that weird, airbrushed-to-death look. My foundation stayed put through a long workday and didn't settle into fine lines or slide off my nose by noon. The packaging is simple but functional, with a pump that dispenses just the right amount. · What I liked: The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without stickiness. It plays well with both water-based and silicone-based foundations. My makeup lasted longer and looked fresher at the end of the day. No weird scent or irritation on my sensitive skin. · What I'd note for others: If you're used to the original putty, this is a different experience—much lighter and more liquid. The pump can take a few presses to get going at first. It's not mattifying, so if you're super oily, you might still need powder. It's earned a permanent spot in my daily routine. I'm hoping the formula stays consistent and the pump mechanism holds up, because finding a primer that actually works without feeling like a mask is a rare thing.

I honestly wish I found this sooner. I have large pores and oily skin. I pat this into my problem areas and then rub the rest in. It makes my pores much less noticeable and my makeup goes on flawless.
