Product Information

Full details

The e.l.f. Putty Primer Trio is designed for makeup enthusiasts seeking a versatile base to achieve a flawless complexion, whether wearing makeup or not. It offers customizable finishes—natural, luminous, or matte—to suit different needs and areas of the face. While its velvety texture smooths skin and grips makeup for extended wear, a potential caveat is the need for careful application to achieve the desired poreless or matte effect.

FAQs

Can I use these primers without makeup?

Yes, the primers can be used to enhance your natural complexion by blurring pores, controlling shine, or adding a subtle glow, even without wearing makeup.

How do I choose which primer to use?

You can choose based on your skin's needs: Poreless for blurring imperfections, Matte for shine control, and Luminous for a radiant finish. You can also layer them strategically on different parts of your face.

How much primer should I use?

A little goes a long way. Scoop a small amount with your finger or an applicator and apply a thin, even layer. Too much product can affect makeup application.

Do I need a special applicator?

While a clean fingertip works well, e.l.f. offers a specific Putty Primer Applicator which can help with hygienic application and even distribution. A small spatula can also be used.

How long does the primer last on the skin?

The primers are designed to grip makeup for all-day wear, helping your makeup last longer without creasing or fading. Individual longevity may vary based on skin type and environment.

Are these primers suitable for sensitive skin?

The formula is free from parabens, phthalates, and sulfates, and is generally well-tolerated. However, as with any new product, a patch test is recommended if you have sensitive skin.

What are the main benefits of Squalane and Hyaluronic Acid?

Squalane helps improve skin's moisture balance and elasticity, while Hyaluronic Acid provides hydration by locking in moisture, resulting in a plumped complexion.

Troubleshooting

Primer feels sticky or heavy

Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer and allow the full 30 seconds for it to set before applying makeup. Using too much product can lead to a heavy feel.

Makeup is not applying smoothly over the primer

Allow the primer adequate time to set. If using multiple primers, ensure each layer is set before applying the next or foundation. Make sure your moisturizer is fully absorbed before primer application.

Pilling or product balling up

This can occur if the primer is applied too thickly, or if there is a conflict with other skincare products. Try applying a thinner layer or ensure your skincare is fully absorbed and compatible.

Matte primer makes skin look too dry

If you have dry skin, consider using the Matte Putty Primer only in specific oily areas (like the T-zone) or mixing a tiny amount with a hydrating serum before application. Ensure adequate hydration from your skincare routine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Using a primer applicator or a clean fingertip, scoop a small amount of the desired putty primer. Apply a thin, even layer to moisturized skin *prior* to makeup application. Allow the primer to set for approximately 30 seconds before proceeding with foundation or other base makeup.

Compatibility: This primer is suitable for all skin types and can be used by anyone, regardless of gender. It is designed to work well with most foundation formulas, whether liquid, cream, or powder.

Care: Store the putty primers in their original pots at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Ensure the lids are tightly closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out. To clean the pots or any applicators used, wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the product.
