Apply one to two pumps of primer onto the back of your hand.
Blend a thin layer onto clean skin before makeup application.
Let the formula set for 60 seconds to absorb and activate grip for all-day hold.
Layer foundation and other makeup on top for a smooth application that lasts all day or wear alone for a dewy glow.
End your routine with Hydro Grip Set + Refresh Spray (sold separately) for extra long-lasting makeup.
Pro Tip: To prevent pilling, let skincare and sunscreen fully absorb before primer application. Start with one pump and add more if needed.

- Q
Does this work well on large pores
- Asked by Mo
- Official Answer By Milk Makeup - Brand EngageHi! While Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer is excellent for hydration and helping makeup last longer, it does not specifically minimize the appearance of large pores. If your main concern is visible pores, we recommend trying our Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Primer, which is formulated to blur pores and smooth skin texture while giving a soft matte finish.Was this answer helpful to you

Hello! I just purchased the milk makeup tent. I use other skin care like wash & moisturizer. Can I use this makeup without this primer product?
- Asked by Lissa
- Official Answer By Milk Makeup - Brand EngageHi there, Both the Hydro Grip Primer and Hydro Grip Gel Tint have Blue Agave Extract to grip your makeup for up to 12 hours. Although you are able to use the Hydro Grip Gel Tint on its own, we highly recommend that you prep your base with the Hydro Grip Primer, for the ultimate 12-hour makeup that won't melt away!Was this answer helpful to you

Nice gripping primer
I received this primer complimentary for review purposes. This does not affect my thoughts or experience with this product. I got a sample size of the milk hydro grip primer to try and I was really excited because I love milk makeup and there's a lot of hype around this primer. Its very light weight...

Did Not Work For Me
I received a sample of this, so I wanted to try it today. I will say that I am unimpressed. I have oily/normal skin with a touch of rosacea, and I use a variety of powder makeup. Today I am in Bare Minerals, which typically works fine with most of my primers. This, however, I do not like. It's been ...

Too expensive
Not worth the money. You could say it's moisturizing but it didnt make a difference in my dry areas. I thought it would grab my foundation and keep it in place. I get the same results as going without primer then with the hydro grip. I wouldnt buy it again.
A new staple
I love this stuff. I have dry/combo skin and use topical acne treatments that leave my skin dry and sensitive. I put this primer on and let it sit for at least 5 minutes before applying anything and it makes my foundation/bb cream look like glass. A new holy grail for me.
Didn't work for me
After all the hype I heard about this product, I returned it afer one use. It left white patches under my makeup and it pills when buffing your foundation in.
Mid product for the price. Leaves flakes of label on face
Its fine, nothing special especially for the price. Noticed specs of flitter on my face after putting on makeup and was frustrates bc i couldnt get the flakes off without ruining my base to literally scrape or wipe it off. I couldnt figure out where they were coming drom since i dont have glitter anyrhing. Found out that it was the cheap holographic label and flaking onto my face every time i used it. Never buying again, do not recommend. Save your money and time
Mid product for the price
It works fine but if youre gonna buy somehong in this price range drugstore like nyx face glue is a sinilar option. Ill NEVER buy this lroduct again bc wverytine id put my makeup on id have soecs of glitter left on my fave that i couldnt take off. I douldnt fogure out therre the heck it was coming from since i do not any glitter anyrhing. Especially not in my makeup bag. I goind out it was the cheap holographic label flaking off onto my fingers every single tine i used it.
