It is a big ask, but I have tried and tested products that can confidently do that. When I put my makeup on at around 6am in a morning, I need to be confident that it is going to last until at least 7pm at night. Even if a product is beautiful, if it doesn’t last all day, I’m not going to use it.

I began just packing this product into the area that I had enlarged pores, but for a true flawless base I will use this throughout.Įvery time I write a review, I say the same thing. You wouldn’t even think that I have pores once I have applied this. Thanks to this primer, my skin looks as smooth as a baby’s bum. Then when I go in with my makeup over the top of this Elf Poreless Putty Primer is where the real magic happens.

Even before I go in with makeup, I can see the smoothing affect that this does to the skin. Once it is on the skin, I will then give it a few seconds to sink in before going in with makeup over the top.Īs I mentioned, I apply this product mainly around my nose where my pores are on the larger side. But I guess that is the same when it comes to all makeup products. Plus, I do find that you are better to go in with thin multiple layers rather than go in very heavy to begin with. I don’t go in with hordes of product because it simply isn’t needed. Simply in the areas that I believe need a little smoothening. When I use this product, I scoop a very small amount of it up on my ring finger. Is it simply a cheaper alternative, or have they copied a bestselling product? However, I do have a problem when it comes to plagiarism. I do love discovering a good dupe, especially when they are so much cheaper. And so many more that I have not tried myself. They do a glowy base product similar to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter. They seem to have took this straight from the hands of Tatcha. I have been seeing hell of a lot from Elf recently in terms of the dupes that they are creating. Therefore, when I saw this Elf version in Boots, I picked it up instantly. Because of that I decided to forgo picking it up. However, the product worked out around £60 and then the shipping was the same. But before it was available to purchase from there, I actually went to buy this similar primer from their website in the states. I think you can now get Tatcha directly on the Space NK website here in the UK, which is amazing. So, over the past few months, I have put this Elf Poreless Putty Primer through its paces, and I am ready to give you guys my full review on this item.Īs I mentioned above, the main reason why I wanted this item was because I wanted the Tatcha alternative. It was a no brainer that I had to try this out. I am all for products that promise to perfect the skin and smooth your pores. So, when a dupe hit the market and it was a reasonable price, I had to get my hands on it. The Tatcha was a product that I had wanted to try for a long time, but it was like rocking horse shit to get here in the UK. When this was first released, I saw instant similarities to the Tatcha Primer. Today I am going to be reviewing a cult classic product, the Elf Poreless Putty Primer.
