Luckily, there IS an add-on that can make all the difference: Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Blurring Face Primer. Let us tell you, the blurring and smoothing impact of this primer major.

Here's what Amazon shoppers are saying about the multi-tasking blurring primer.

A great pick for mature skin

I'm in my 70s and this primer works very well. It stays on all day and evens out my skin tone," shares a mature-skinned customer. "I use it under Lancôme foundation and get lots of compliments on my complexion. I'll buy it again, for sure. I think the price is very fair for a product that performs as well as the big name ones. Better, in some cases."

"Tried this for the first time," another shopper noted. "Wearing it daily, just because it feels good. I am new to makeup and I am 40. I am struggling to get a foundation to look good on my skin. This is kind of a super light way to blur the blemishes a little."

Pore minimizing

“I never write reviews, but I wanted to spread the word about this product," wrote one five-star reviewer. "It did an excellent job of blurring pores and smoothing out texture. Also, it lasted all day while I was outside at a zip-lining park and through my workout! (I’m 41 so mature-ish skin).”

Wrinkle reducing

"The product glides on easily," a shopper explained. "The feel is more water-like. I have fine lines, wrinkles and large pores, but this product helps with all of those things. I usually use professional [products], but this one is really working for me."

Another happy customer said: "This face primer is perfect for people with large pores and fine lines and wrinkles."

Long-lasting

"I love this product," writes another satisfied reviewer. "I can use it alone like a CC+ Cream or under makeup and it totally reduces my redness. I love how it feels when it goes on and it lasts all day! Feels like a moisturizer and gives a makeup effect without the makeup. Must buy!

Perfect for oily complexions

Another five-star reviewer shares: "Let me tell you that this stuff blurs pores like no other!!!! I have very oily skin so I decided to apply this on my bare face (no makeup) and see how it would hold up the oiliness throughout the day and it passed the test!

Shoppers love the primer's velvet texture that locks makeup in place all day.
