Turns out you're using e.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer wrong - Heat

Ever bought a hyped up make-up product, tried it for yourself and instantly thought of that Barclay's advert?

"Did you see what I did there? It's a scam."

Well same tbh and it's SO annoying.

After watching make-up tutorials for years you'd think we'd know when an influencer is being genuine about a product or not.

Well, one TikTok viral beauty product that we couldn't escape this year was e.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer(£9). It's actually been out for over a year but it turns out we've all been using it wrong.

One make-up influencer Bex (aka @BexCxmpbell) went viral after exposing how we should all be applying it and we guarantee you've been using it wrong.

Bex revealed that it was her "favourite poreless primer" and after seeing the results we can see why - it completely hides all your pores.

Revealing the secret she simply explained that we should press the primer upwards into the problem area instead of downwards.
