I really wish this would have worked for me but sadly, I’ll have to go the Dior or Hourglass route (again). It didn’t hold my makeup very long and my faces just looked like a mess after I got home...

I have oily skin and this does not work for me. It just sits on top of my skin feeling sticky and doesn't blur or fill anything. This might work for someone with dry skin, but it's not for me!

Ever since Clinique's 'Instant Perfector' was discontinued, I've been searching high and low for a clay-like primer that you can 'push' into your pores to actually fill them in (for reference...

Fills in the pores and lasts a long time. I was using the more common silicone primers before this (Monistat) which work well but feel greasy. But the E.L.F. poreless primer is so much more...

After using this for some time, I noticed that it tends to make my makeup cakey, especially around my nose. I don't know if I'm using too much or if it's just the product itself. Overall, I...

I don't get the hype with this product. It really doesn't seem to fill in or smooth at all. If anything, it just serves as another layer on the skin and makes makeup look more cakey than if you...

I don't use this daily. But to be fair, I don't use any primer that often and as far as primers go this is one of my favorites. I'd recommend it to others. E.L.F Cosmetics Poreless Putty Primer...

This is a wonderful pore filling primer and while not an exact dupe for Tatcha’s Silk Canvas primer, this is worth so much more than it’s economical price tag. Did you know they make a small size...

I just don't get the hype on this. I used it and it actually made my skin look worse. Pores stood out more and it actually made the texture of my skin look horrible.
