While primer might not feel like the most exciting beauty product in your vanity drawer, it is one of the more important steps for getting poreless, glass-like skin and makeup that doesn’t budge.
I’ve cycled through a number of different formulas, including much pricier options, but after trying this $7 priming stick from a Jennifer Coolidge-used beauty brand, I’m remaining loyal to this drugstore favorite. The e.l.f. Cosmetics Stay Cool Primer Stick is so much more lightweight and hydrating than more luxurious ones that I’ve used in the past, but it still creates a filter-like base for flawless makeup.

Unlike creamier primers, this solid gel stick makes application so easy and mess-free. It has a cooling effect and ultra-lightweight texture that feels so soothing while also creating a dewy, glass-like base before I even put an ounce of makeup on. It works so well, I can even ditch makeup on the days I want a minimal look.
While I’ve tried plenty of primers that are too cakey and heavy from the start, the cooling stick creates the opposite experience—and feels as if you’re wearing nothing. The hydrating base makes it so easy to apply foundation and concealer smoothly, and it produces an even glow that really sets the tone for my entire “clean girl” makeup look. Key ingredients like hyaluronic acid, spring water, coconut water, and aloe vera keep my skin moisturized and my foundation effortlessly in place, even after I spent six hours in the hot sun.
I’m not the only one sold on its pore-blurring effects and hydrating, lightweight formula. One shopper raved that it’s the “best thing e.l.f. has made so far” and is the “perfect dupe” for a much pricier version. Another customer said it helps their “skin look amazing” and “smooth,” adding that it’s “hands down the best primer for dry skin.”
It’s also not the only shopper-loved product in e.l.f. Cosmetics’ arsenal. Reviewers said the Poreless Putty Primer “works very well with blending foundation,” while the Power Grip Primer has nearly 9,000 glowing reviews. Along with e.l.f.
