I love trying new makeup products. I find doing makeup so relaxing, so having new things to try and love is always great. After watching several JuicyJas videos, I became really eager to try the putty primer from ELF. It took a little while for me to see it in UK stores, but by the time I did, it was coming up to Christmas. Instead of purchasing it myself, I put it on my Christmas wishlist. My brother was kind enough to get it for me and I've been testing it out over the last few weeks. Here are my thoughts on the product.
Basic Information:
Price: £8.00
Amount: 21g
Shade: Universal Sheer
You can get this product from the ELF website, Superdrug and Boots.
This product has been compared to the Tatcha Silk Canvas primer as they are very similar in texture and purpose. I have not had the opportunity to try the Tatcha primer, so I cannot say from my perspective that it is a dupe.
This primer is a very different texture to what I expected. Although it is labelled as a putty primer, it's actually more solid than you would think. It melts like butter on the skin and a little goes a long way, but it isn't goopey or "squishy" as such. I like that, as it's mess free and I know it's going to last me AGES.
This product is specifically designed for blurring pores, so I don't use it daily. I wear it when I have slightly heavier makeup on or a full face. The areas I have larger pores are my cheeks, nose, between my brows and chin. It doesn't slip and slide around which is fab and because it is sheer, you cannot see it underneath your foundation or even on your bare skin, if you choose to wear it alone. It makes my skin look smooth and hydrated which is always a good in my books.
There is no fragrance in this product which is great as I am on the journey of going fragrance free in my skin care/makeup products where possible.
The product is pretty long lasting too which is a huge plus.
Overall, I have been really liking this product and I think it is going to replace my Maybelline Baby Skin Primer!
Have you tried this primer? Let me know in the comments.
Thanks for reading,
Have a great day x
I've been eager to try this primer for so long but it's always sold out when I look for it! Glad you like it, makes me even more eager!
ReplyDeleteELF are stepping up their game! I want to get my hands on the jelly primer next but it's not in UK stores yet
DeleteI actually tried this primer and added it to my all time beauty favorites post! It is literally a dupe for Tatcha Silk canvas. It works so well, and like you said it hydrates and smoothes the skin so nicely. Great post xxx

It's such a great product! Thanks for commenting Melina x
DeleteIt's very good to know that the putty is more solid - with the name of putty I would be put off a bit by the texture.
ReplyDeleteIt's more like the lecture of butter than slime. I thought it would be goopey and sticky but it definitely isn't x
