I DON'T GET THE HYPE... | YouTube Made Me Buy It!: e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer (Oily Skin Review)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2019
- When this primer from e.l.f. first launched, TH-camrs far and wide sang its praises and thus made it impossible for me to get my hands on to test for myself. With its recent restocking though, I finally nabbed a pot; let's see how it performs on my oily skin (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

I have very dry skin when using any foundation...even neutrogena which I love I have a problem. This primer is worth the hype for dry skin. 100% 8 bucks is worth trying once.
Omg I totally agree. I have major dry skin to and adore this primer.
@@shalesleigh5057 it's made my foundation look better and I don't have big pores so I cant speak for people who do....but this is the best primer I own. I ditched the rest lol
Dry skin loves this primer?! Damn I really need to try it then lol
@@kreepykulture it makes your skin just look hydrated and juicy but not overly shiny like you would think. I have dry combo skin but my skin still looks shiny and luminous. Its werid. But I own 3 of these containers because I'm not running out
@@Chelsyclb LOL damn it must be good then. I would think since it's mostly silicone it wouldnt work for my skin but I'll definitely try it now!! Here I come ulta lmao
I have dry dehydrated skin and found this primer to be fantastic. It kept me feeling nourished and hydrated and like others have said I found that whipping the product up on the back of my hand and pressing it into the skin was the best application. Also it does need to rest for 10 minutes or so before adding foundation. Try it again honey, use a few different methods, this is one of those products that when you find the perfect application for you, it's a game changer. Thank you so much for the video Cassie, you work so hard and it doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. Lots of love to you and your furboys 🖤🐾🖤🐾🖤 xxx
I've personally found that this primer works better using a generous amount moreso than a thin layer.
Nazia Islam same it works really well for me but I definitely use more than what beauty gurus use
I just watched a review where the youtuber used a good amount all over her face. Is this how you use it?
Absolutely... Especially with the elf primer! I hated it until I started using more of it... Like a pea sized amount or a little less.
I agree, I see a more smooth effect when I use a good amount of the primer BUT I find I get really oily really fast when I use it
@@Xtremehiphoptati I'm oily as hell. Even approaching 40 I still have alot of oil production. Anyhow, I tried using it thin, thick, with a blender, with fingers etc. I tried every way and combination-it does nothing 4 me. It actually gives my skin a bit of a slide. Doesn't work at all and yes I get oilier wearing it. Anything with silicone in it is a big No No with oily skin.
Am I the only one who saw a difference between the primed and not primed side. Even on the lids :(
I thought the not primed creased more and was more oily overall.
Also upon foundation application on the not primed side a beauty blender was used first than the brush where-as the primed side a brush was used first than a beauty blender.. it also looked like it was much more sheer on the un primed side and much more full coverage on the primed 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe Im wrong. But I think it made a difference.
I have oily skin, acne and lots of textured acne scarring. This stuff is my holy grail. Has totally changed my foundation game🙌
Crazy how the same thing can work so different on different people.
Allisa Kluver it really is crazy. Everyone’s skin is so different.
It really is an amazing primer. I don't get how people DON'T like it.. lol.
I was thinking of writing the exact same comment. I have really dry but acne prone skin and typically pore filling primers can just clog up my skin and overall leave me feeling a bit too matte for my liking. This one I really like just used in sparse areas like around my nose and tip of my forehead and really pressing it into the skin while keeping the rest really dewy. There’s something for everyone though that is the magic of makeup ✨
@@Saskue101 yeah I have bad acne to but I haven't gotten any acne from this primer..
@@Saskue101 also I agree with it hiding pores but texture wise it seems different than other pore filling primers.
The textures didn't match. You can't mix a balm primer with a jelly water foundation
Like a lot of commenters have said already...use more, this is one product where less is definitely not more...try stippling the primer in with a semi firm brush, let it sink in for about 10 minutes before you start putting on foundation..
Unlike the camo concealer, which I abhorred..I love this primer!!
SqualAne is derived from SqualEne (which is not that stable) and has moisturizing and absorption-boosting properties, and it is colorless and odorless. Other names can be Hexamethyltetracosane, Perhydrosqualene, Dodecahydrosqualene... 💟you Cassie
I never used primer before because I never saw a difference. I bought this because I saw it in stock and I heard it’s hard to buy and HOLY MOLY IM OBSESSED!
My makeup stays on through my work day and makes my makeup look airbrushed!
Really? What is your skin type and how do you make it work?? I cant make it work for me during the hotter months :'-(
I really do appreciate the way you zoom in for us to see how the product looks like up close and personal. Thank you. ^^
I got this primer when it first came out. I do like the blurring effect on my pores, but I agree it doesn't do much else. So I use it only on my nose where my pores are big and noticeable normally. This does work on my nose!
hey cassie, don't know if this will help but in my experience, this primer doesn't work well with the petite aqua jelly bb cream. maybe you can try it with other foundations and see how you feel. i enjoy it with other foundations.
@Tonia Verville because BB creams are oilier to start with. Not to mention u can't mix water based and emollient based products.
@Tonia Verville no problem. Oil and water don't mix😊
The one from Catrice is so much better for me and my oily skin. It is really good at hiding my large pores and leaves my skin so soft. My makeup lasts and looks better with it.
I miss lipstick reviews 😩
Missie R I was just thinking that!
Me too.
Glad you were able to get this product. I have looked for it since it came out and got so hyped. Now, with your experience I may not bother. Thanks!
I found it today at Target
Cassie i recently started to dermaplane my skin and I really think you should I really think you should try it! I have a lot of peach fuzz like you and I started doing it myself with a little razor from the drugstore (the eyebrow ones) and it makes my foundation lay so beautifully on my skin! It also does a slight exfoliation which helps with my dry patches and it would help with yrs too!! I really think you’d love it!
what a helpful tip!
I do it too just newly in the past few months. I don't have much fuzz but doing so makes your foundation so much nicer
Me too! My peach fuzz is hardly noticable as it is but it really does help foundation lay nicely when it's cut down.
I do this too but I use the Michael Todd Sonicsmooth dermaplaning device and that thing is my HOLY GRAIL! It takes off EVERY bit of dead skin and peach fuzz and my makeup looks absolutely FLAWLESS! It uses sonic technology and is rechargeable. You can find it on sale on QVC or on the Michael Todd website on sale during holidays etc. for fairly cheap. There's usually promo codes available as well. I paid full price for it and I'd do it all over again if mine happened to quit working one day. It's the BEST little beauty gadget I've EVER owned and actually delivers what it promises!
You have such amazing eyes! You are so beautiful 🤗😗! Thank you for testing this primer. My skin is just like yours and I am using the Clarins primer stick. It works wonders for me 😉
Pore fillers won't work for long on very oily skin because they get popped out of the pores by the sweat and oil. This is why I say change your techniques to minimize pores and then you won't have to worry about them 10 hours later. :-)
Elizabeth Shaw that’s not really how it works...
Cassie I totally agree! I finally got it and was so excited because of all the positive reviews. I have dry skin and it’s still a meh product for me. It’s not horrible. It’s not amazing either. Tbh, it’s rare for me to find a primer I really really like (the Touch in sol priming water that I got in Boxycharm was a surprise hit for me!)
Thank you for sharing. Really helpful, almost bought it but hated the fact that i need to dip my fingers into that pot each time. But i also wondered how much of a difference it would make because it has been all the rave. So glad I found your video!
Squalene is part of the skin’s own natural moisture which helps prevent ongoing hydration loss. We all will make less of it as we age, unfortunately. Squalane is a hydrocarbon derived by the hydrogenation of Squalene. As a result, it no longer oxidizes, so it is a much more stable product. Currently, It is more often derived from a plant source, such as from olives, and sugarcane, rather than from shark liver. I haven't found this e.l.f. Primer, either locally, or online, to date. I do use, and like the Tatcha primer, so I still would like to try e.l.f.'s supposed 'dupe' to see how it works for me, and if it is a more affordable option. I have normal skin that is becoming drier, and in its fifty-ninth year! The Tatcha primer blurs the larger pores on my nose, and it enhances the look of my foundation, similar to what I saw the e.l.f. primer do for you. I do think it may allow a longer wear of my foundation, also. If this type of primer works, it works well, but like anything, it won't perform equally for everyone. In that sense, this e.l.f. Primer allows additional make up wearers the option of trying this similar primer type with a more affordable product (if available, that is!). If it is beneficial, one can then choose which price point is personally preferable, ultimately. It offers this type of primer to a greater number, as well, by providing it to those who are restricted from using Tatcha's version related to either its price, or its limited retail availability. There's nothing wrong with that! Thanks for sharing your experience with it, Cassie! Hugs, Sherrey🎀
I've seen it at my Wal-Mart but I I bought mind on the ULTA site. I have dry skin and feel it works beautifully. Helps pores, smooths, and helps seem hydrated.
I have really oily skin and what worked for me was warming it up in the container, applying it all over my face including my eyelids, and I still went in with my Milani eye primer on top. It extended the wear of the eye primer, minimized my pores, and made my foundation look airbrushed!! 🙌🏻 I was still a bit oily but overall I loved this primer
Your music is SO soooothing! ☺️ that aside I WISH I had found your review BEFORE I bought this darned stuff. EVERYONE kept comparing it to Tatcha Silk Canvas so of course I had to try it.....🎣🎣🎣
Well it didnt work out for me. Did nothing, except add another layer 🤨
It's so cheap I didnt wanna return it to Ulta but I should considering how ineffective it is. Iam a basket of fries kinda greasy so as SOON as I felt it I knew it would be a mess in 2 hours. So not wanting to waste it has made me use it on my neck and chest instead. I will do this till it's gone and be done with it.
P.S: The stuff I love is the one most seem to hate and that's the NYX Cant Stop, Wont Stop Primer. I rub that stuff on with NO problems that others are talking about and only on my greasy cheeks, nose and forehead and the rest gets the Tarte Clean Slate Timeless smoothing primer. Both work well for me, but as I said, Iam crisco greasy and live in a sauna in the tropics in the upper 80's.
Omg I have this primer and love it for the winter time. Honestly I cant wear it on summer because I sweat so much it can't do it's job properly. But I quite like it for the price
Yes thank you!! Me too! I love it during colder weather but summer gets so hot and i cant wear it :'-(
Caro Ripa i sweat so bad! what do you use for foundation?!?!
Good to know! I sweat an ungodly amount no matter how much water I drink! I have two VERY active toddlers that keep me moving but momma still enjoys a full face! I've tried a lot of products and skin routines but have yet to find anything that works well enough to even bother with makeup during the summer. 😕
What does this product do in the summer time? Get oily? Cause the makeup to side off?
We have similar skin. When you apply foundation with a brush or sponge you tend to wipe it on. You might try loading the sponge with a thin layer and then pressing it in starting in the center of your face. Stop wiping and press instead. You will get more even and longer lasting coverage. Press in powder too.
My favorite use for this primer is to help prevent makeup creasing in the area around my mouth. For pore minimizing, I prefer the pink primer that Thataylaa recommends. (I have always wondered how that primer would work for you too.) 💙
I really like the red sparkly nail polish you're wearing in this video :)
Oh Cassie! I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. That is the way I feel about the Tatcha primer... except I wish I had only spent $8 on the elf, rather than $50+, but I digress. (Elf hadn't released their primer yet when I got the Tatcha.)
It blows my mind that so many people love these two products! I just don't feel like it is a good primer for someone with very oily skin. Many people think they have oily skin, when in reality, it's more on the normal side.
I absolutely love love love this stuff!! I have huge pores on and around my nose. This helps so much! Usually my foundation and powder just fall into my pores and you can see them within an hour after I put on my makeup. I have crazy oily skin in my T-Zone. It helps with that so much. I’ve noticed it also keeps me from getting as oily as I normally do.
Oh!! One other thing, it helps hide my pimples!!
Realllyyy?? HOW do you make it work??? I cant make it hide my pores or lessen my oils in my tzone 😭 help!!!
Sahar Varona Don’t smear it on. I use just one of my extra smaller foundation brushes that I basically stipple it on around my t-zone. I wait like 2-5 minutes and then I use the Wet N Wild Photo Focus stick foundation over it & just use some basic colorless powder over it. I also just blot the powder with my brush. I also keep a small powder brush that I use with my compact powder to touchup throughout the day if I need a touch up, this is after I use blotting paper (if I’m oily throughout the day.
@@iChristyD ah!!! I always smear it on. Thank you!!!! Will try this trick!!!
Sahar Varona Good luck girl! Hopefully it will work for you as well as it has for me.
Just a side note.. squalane is listed on my box of elf porless putty primer. I think the reason you missed it, “squal” is at the end of one line and “ane” at the beginning of the next line. P.S. this stuff is the bomb for me. But everybody’s different.
I’ve been wanting to try that primer too but haven’t been able to get it. I do think it looked like you got better coverage on the primer side and it was slightly more matte but yeah, it didn’t seem as amazing as what I hoped for. Since it’s only $8 I may still try it at some point, but I no longer feel like I’m missing out.
I really like your lip color on day 3. I saw what it was in the description box (thank you for adding that, by the way). My only question is, does it wear well??
I thought the elf primer side looked a lot nicer and the makeup held up better. Without it, you saw more patchiness and dry flakes. I personally like the elf primer and it does what it says. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s greasy at all like a silicone primer. That gives the impression it’s slick and your makeup will move around and melt off, which isn’t at all the case with the Elf Putty Primer. I’m anxious to try their Jelly Pop Primer next.
Hello X love your videos!!!!!
Question? Have you done one of these videos having used moisturiser only on one side of your face?
You're videos are amazing as is, I'm not asking you to change them, just a question =) xx
I have combo skin. I use the elf putty primer on top of my loreal infallible glow primer then put my foundation on and it works wonders! I put more elf putty under my eyes and i notice it to help not crease as bad!
I also have oily skin, and I'm pretty meh about this primer as well. I can get it to "work" somewhat better by warming it up in my fingers and using a VERY light hand, maybe try that? 💜
Thank you girl! I appreciate that you test things out for several days!
There’s a lot of TH-cam “holy grail” dupes I’ve bought and been so disappointed in. I probably won’t try this. Thank you for the honest review!
Casey Russell, agreed! Like I got the Tarte ShapeTape concealer a few years back and cannot stand it. I think it’s awful
Jordyn Radziewicz yes! It was supposedly crease proof and... it creased. Ugh!
It works amazing for dry skin. I love it. Helps pores, smooths..
I tried it and it made me break out
Did not work for me. Creased and caked. And I go very light on concealer.
Hey! Just wanted to say hello, I'm Kelly from the UK, I've just found your channel and have watched most of them 😊 I think your gorgeous inside and out, I love how " real" you are, not like some of these other " influenser" girls. Take care. K x
I have slightly oily SENSITIVE mature VERY PALE freckly skin (think thats all the things!!! LOL) I agree with you Cassie it was underwhelming. I bought the Tatcha originalversion (during a Sephora sale) and foind that to be overpriced and just MEHHHH. DIdn’t even want to try the Elf version. I am with you I just DON”T get the hype. Thanks for confirming what I thought!!! The best primers I have tried lately are the Revlon Photoready (pink) Pore Reducing Primer $, and the Dr. Brandt Pore Bluring Primer $$$. Both AMAZING!!! I would try those next, you WON’T be disappointed, they are BRILLIANT!!!! x💚
I'm oily and this primer makes me more oilyer I can only pull this primer off wearing a matte foundation such as nyx can't stop won't stop foundation or fenty foundation which gives me a glow still
In the scene where your mom identified the primed side .... Not sure if it's because the primed side was away from the camera but I could see the mattifying effect pretty easily.
A little tip that maybe would work or not but it definitely worked for me. When I first got it i thought it wasn't worth the hype or anything but I kept giving it a try and the key is to get through the top layer, when you do it's a really nice primer!
Thanks. I'm just now trying this stuff and I don't get it. Used it 3 times now and honestly the 1st time, my skin looked dry and flaky faster than it ever has before. I'll keep trying.
I would LOVE a video of your favorite primers, foundations and setting powders/sprays!!!
it's listed on the box i bought today! the squalane i mean...teeny tiny letters and had to use a magnifying glass of course...has alot of ingredients!! Havent used it yet..love your channel!
I haven’t been here for over a year but nothing has changed, time is standing still here. Damn your skin what have you done to it? 😱
Have you tried niacinamide on your skin for the oilyness.it worked wonders for me. I used the super cheap The ordinary. After a month my skin was beautiful.
Use MORE! I love this primer!
I wouldn't mind trying it out since it looked pretty nice on your skin, and the price is cheap. You should try and use it more this month and come back and talk about it some more in your best and worst of beauty. At one point I had really oily skin like you, but I'm now 30 and take a few different medications that have changed my skin type to dry. The only primer that I've tried, and really love is the Maybelline prime and smooth, and it's basically like a thick moisturizer that doesn't feel heavy on the skin. I think a lot of the bigger "influencers" on this platform hype things up WAY too much. The way some of them talk about products, it seems like they're being paid to say it's amazing, and it's just like another really expensive item.
If you have dry skin it works lovely. And you need to put more than she did. It helps hydrate smooth and helps with pores.
It did look at the end of the night that the pores next to your nose looked smaller on the primer side. That’s primarily what I use it for now. I do notice a huge difference when I don’t use it.
I looked everywhere for this and when I finally found it I was so disappointed
Jessi Turner same!
Same!
Maybe try using more than a thin layer. I didn't like until I started using a generous amount. Like a pea sized amount... Give it take.
same!! It was all good until I applied setting powder, my beauty blender began making bald spots :(
So this is very similar to the tarte smoothing timeless primer (it’s mostly used to create a smooth surface, while making your face matte) it’s actually a perfect dupe for this! (Elf has sooo many dupes which is why I love the brand). I think you need to know this.
Primer needs to be teamed up with a good foundation. No primer is really going to make your foundation have super lasting power unless it has a sticky type of surface. This primer you should really put on areas that you want to look smooth (under eyes, places on forehead, etc, and if you want to put this on your oily spots then please put a stickier primer on top, thin layers of course.) so what I want to say, is this primer is great if you use it for what’s it’s realistically intended for. These mattifying primers of course does best with matte foundations lol......... many people often find amazing primers and wonder why they don’t work...... 1. Use it for what it’s intended for 2. You need to team it up with a good foundation
For your oily skin I really suggest using an airbrush system. It really works wonders I’m telling
You it’s all beauty artists secret❤️❤️❤️
But love your review. Thanks for reminding me about this hidden gem!
Yes! I think it's waaay more a dupe for the Tarte Timeless than the Tatcha. And you're also right about which foundations to pair with what primers.
I love this primer so much! Best primer I ever used. My face looks flawless with it on. No joke!
Do you have oily/dry/normal skin?
I was like you Cassie and couldn’t get my hands on it when it came out. I got an email last week to say it was in stock and bought it instantly. I couldn’t wait to try it and I was disappointed. It didn’t do anything for me other than make my skin more oily 😢
You give me Elizabeth Moss vibes. I totally love her btw. Has anyone ever told you that?
I have always thought the same!
I have that and I've only used it twice. Not sure what I think of it yet though. Also, are you gonna try the new elf jelly pop collection? I'm curious to see your thoughts on it.
I just picked it up at Ulta, they also had the new Elf jelly pop collection!
I am debating grabbing some of it. I bet it's cute.
I see a big difference actualy. The puddy side looks much more poreless.also less is more for foundation in my opinion. Have you ever tried the matte fit me foundation? I love it because it does oil control without feeling or looking like chalk and blends in flawlessly with like every skin type.
I have oily skin. I apply The Ordinary's Niacinamide serum under my moisturizer and it really stops a ton of oil production. For this primer, I dig out a pea-sized bump with my thumbnail (I flick my thumb away so it's on top of my thumbnail). I smooth that amount over my face. I use it under Maybelline Fit Me foundation. I don't look oily. It's an excellent combination IMO.
If you had to pick a handful of foundations that you love...or even ONE? What would it be??? Can you do a video on it. I need recommendations and I trust you!
I had zero desire to try this, because my dumb ass bought the expensive Tatcha one as soon as it dropped (because yes, I FELL FOR ALL OF IT). It's still sitting in my bathroom with barely a dent in it, staring at me, mocking my hatred of it.
MOCKING ME.
*shhhh, it also senses my fear of it*
I think this is a great primer for pores and works well for that and applying at least a creamy foundation. I saw difference it’s the kinda subtle difference that makes this wearable I think IRL
Cassie, have you tried using any essences? I have oily skin like yours and have fallen in love with fresh"s black tea essence. I find it has really controlled my oiliness especially during the extremely humid summer days of south Texas. Please review it to see what you think
It’s heavily fragranced. Big no no.
It works for me. I love it. I also love the illuminating primer. I am wanting to get the Matte one. I got a dry T Zone and oily every where else.
Cassie is it the change in your skin care that’s causing your skin reaction? I use a brush to apply my primer then tap it into your troubled areas !
That was advice from a makeup artist , then allow five minutes for it too settle before foundation, it helped me it might help you but you need a decent amount ,
I haven't tried this, but I have tried the Tatcha primer that it is supposed to be a dupe of. It does not work for me at all on my oily skin. All it does is make my skin greasy. I don't use a large amount, either.
I've tried a lot of different primers and they never work for me and my skin isn't as oily as yours so I feel your pain, lol......I just keep oil blotting sheets with me and a small pressed powder to touch up during the day. Maybe one day they'll make a mattifying primer for oily skin :)
Just found your page & loving all your videos. A lot of knowledge & so relaxing. 😘
Sorry, but my opinion is different. I have dry skin and wear little foundation but this primer makes my pores and lines seem less prominent. Especially if you do not bake.
Robbie Leigh oh good to know! I’m dry and don’t bake either ☺️
I got all excited when I saw the title, but you didn't sing the TH-cam Made Me Buy It song!! 😭😭😭 LMAO love you anyway. Let us know if using more helps like many commenters have suggested.
Wait... you didn’t use a setting powder?
I don't know if she usually does, but this particular foundation doesnt need a setting powder. It dries down a lot, so much for me that I feel like it tightens my skin.
it must be more suited for dry skin. I have dry skin and I swear by this primer. I did half my face with tatcha and the other half with the elf and honestly my pores were more blurred with the elf. it makes any fine lines smooth out also and lasts all day. So I think maybe people with oily skin will not like it because maybe it wears off quicker. Not sure. pretty crazy first negative thing ive heard about it.
Hmm I have combo skin dry/oily. Would this be good for someone like me?
I have dry cheeks and an oily Tzone; during the colder months I actually really like this. But summertime im an oily mess (tzone) but i like it in my cheeks. Very moisturising
Could you do a primer comparison video where you put two different primers each side of face? Im struggling to find a primer that wouldn’t break me out, but would still control oil and blur pores a little bit at least. Have you tried YSL top secret instant matte primer yet? Very interested in it!
I appreciate you trying a new primer! I thought it looked great on you, it was a subtle difference but really with that foundation it looked much better than your este lauder. Definitely more of a short wear primer. All that matters though is weather you liked it or not.
I think it's meant to be a targeted primer for wide pore areas of the face rather than all over. Maybe try pressing it into areas with wide pores and using another all over face primer.
This is weird. But it makes my skin dryer. So that my foundation ends up looking cakey. I'm oily in the t zone usually. I need help finding a primer and a foundation!
Same! Maybe it's the weather where we live? It's hot and humid most of the time where I am and this primer made my makeup look horrible by the time I got home- patchy, flaky, lines deeper than they are because of the build-up.
I have the old packaging. I wonder if it’s different
Just wondering you ever use jennifer Bradley foundation?
I bought the Tatcha primer and I didn’t like it as an overall face primer cause it didn’t seem to do anything for makeup application and it definitely didn’t make my makeup last longer. BUT it’s the best eye primer I’ve ever used so I’m not mad! lol
Did u let it sit on your skin before u did the foundation ... maybe that’s what I need to do if u did sorry I comment as I watch so end up commenting so much
i know this is old but i love your wear tests. you're so real and down to earth.
What would you consider to be the most long wearing, lightweight foundation/tinted moisturizer/anything?
Also should mention money is a factor for me. 😂😅
I also bought it because of the hype and I can’t tell the difference with or without the primer on my face.
Thank you! I bought this from all the hype and this primer does nothing for me. I am an ELF fan but this poreless primer putty was terrible because it did nothing and gave me breakouts to my normally acne free skin. 🤷🏼♀️
My skin is super oily, probably close to your level and this did not work for me either. I’ve tried it all kinds of ways, still no bueno. It may work for me in the winter time when my skin is more dry to combo. Summer is essentially oil slick city, I love mufe for oily skin in summer.
You have a good bit of angry popped zits. Not a knock but mentioning to follow up with a question... The crusted, dry pimple areas- how can you/we make those NOT show (as my 1-2 monthly period pimples are exactly like all the ones you have)? I see alotta people that do makeup vids & wonder how to even out/smooth over those areas so it doesn't look like how yours (mine) ended up looking- like Obvious, Crusted, Dried acne scabs. Is this how you pretty much always end up for your foundation look or do you normally have a way to fully conceal them so they do not draw the eye to them?
Thanks for your review. Have you noticed any big breakouts after use? Love that red lipstick on you!
Bummer that the primer doesn't seem to live up to the hype for us oily peeps. Haven't found the right primer for me yet, and even though the Tatcha one is enticing, my bank account says "don't you mcfreakin dare"🙃. Completely unrelated to the video, but red lipstick looks beautiful on you! You just got a real nice mouth? I mean teeth, lips, smile and all. I hope that doesn't sound weird. Great video as usual!
i bought this the other day and my mom complimented my skin when i wore it with my normal makeup idk if it was because the primer or not, but i still really like it
what's the foundation that you said when you put it on, you;re like "why do i ever use any other foundation"... ?
that info is always listed in the description (I also included a card in the corner of the video) ^_^
It's the estee lauder doublewear light foundation. She put a card up in the upper right hand corner once she started talking about it.
@@Kristie27 oh ok, thank you!! :)
@@thriftthick thank you, i will look next time! :)
How would you say it compares to the Dimethiconey pore filling elf pump primer?
I think this primer is for layering, like Tati primes, one for the hole face, and one for the large pores areas of the face, and this one is says "poreless" not "Mattifying" it doesn't promise to be oil control
Can you please try the Blume Acne Meltdown facial oil?! I would love to see how it works for you before purchasing it for myself! I saw it on Instagram and Facebook, and have seen a few videos about it here on YT, too. ❤
thank you for being an actual human being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Cassie!!! Could you try this with a true full coverage foundation instead of a BB cream? I want to see if that would work. Thanks girly!!! Much love 💜
What I like about this primer is that it fills in my nose pores nicely. But no it's not life changing. But it's so affordable and maybe that I why all the hype.
Have you perchance tried the mattifying version of putty primer?
Please the review the loreal infallible concealer!! Its great on oily skin and its sooo full coverage!! ❤️
Just wondering if you are someone like myself who has pcos? Im new to your videos so if you've mentioned before I might have missed it. I hope this does not come off rude or insulting and not taken the wrong way, I think youre a beautiful lady. Some have similar issues that show and I'm purely just curious.
I have very oily skin. I use this primer with Maybelline super stay, and it does pretty well. It’s my combo for a normal work day.
Have you tried the new super stay concealer? I found it at my walmart. Not to bad. I like it more for the center of the face rather then the under eyes. I think it be ok for oily skin though just not my dry skin. But it has good coverage.
