THE VERDICT:

It is no secret that silicone- based primers are optimal for oily skin, though I'm not buying that because I dislike how heavy it feels. When I first read that Ellana's Primer is silicone- based, I was like "Errr...", but when I tried it, I was like "Oooh." It's silicone but feels like moisturizer, ergo it's pretty light and comfortable!

Ellana claims that this is one of their best- selling products. It promises to extend the life of makeup on your skin while filling in pores and fine lines and providing a super smooth canvas for flawless makeup application. It also contains Argan Oil to nourish skin.
Product comes in a sturdy frosted glass bottle. It comes in a newer and smaller version-the one I have is the huge one.

 INGREDIENTS: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone, Crosspolymer, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Mica, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopherol Acetate

 More about this affordable and effective primer for combination and oily skin after the break!
Product is a fragrance- free silicone with a softer, lighter, and more hydrating texture. Three pea-sized amounts would suffice for my skin, it goes on invisible, and mattifies skin instantly. It gives my skin a super soft and smooth texture that liquid or powder makeup just glides effortlessly onto my skin-I also noticed that it gives hard cream foundations some slip (thanks to Argan Oil) and improves the coverage of light foundations. Didn't really notice that it filled in my enlarged pores and fine lines though. I apply this using my fingers only.

Primer + Ellana Loose Powder Foundation + Ellana Sheer Veil

So here's my a photo of my freshly- applied makeup.

7 Hours after

Wait, did my makeup persist to look like this for 7 hours?! Whoa. Amazing. I've mentioned in my reviews that Ellana's Loose Powder Foundation makes my skin oily and the Sheer Veil doesn't have pretty good oil control, but if they're used with the primer, both products just stick miraculously. I wore Ellana's Primer, Foundation, and Setting Powder to a meeting yesterday. Take note, me and my client dined outdoors, the weather was so unforgiving, I was sweating so bad, and guess what? My makeup still looked fresh and there was no sight of oil on my T-Zone when I checked my face in the mirror by the 4th hour. By the 5th hour, oil started seeping through my makeup, but a sheet of oil-control film was enough to refresh my makeup. Now by the 7th hour, my makeup still looked nice and it can still take me to a late- night coffee date with friends!

So there! If you have oily and combination normal/oily skin or dry skin even because it has soothing Argan Oil, you will love this primer because it works, it's moisturizing, it's economical, and absolutely affordable. One bottle may last you for around 6 months even if used daily because consistency is so spreadable, therefore you won't need to use a lot! If you need something that will control excess sebum on your T-Zone, improve the coverage and wear time of some face makeups, or a tolerable silicone- based primer, this.is.it!
