Great dupe for Milk HydroGrip
I did my usual skincare before priming and compared the E.L.F. on my left to the Milk in my right. I couldn't tell a difference.

I like it
This primer works really good for anyone that has oily skin. The primer glides on so effortlessly and really does mattify and reduce my pores for a smooth finish once my concealer and foundation was applied.I also like that it's a very nice sized bottle and reasonably priced .I received this product...

I will keep buying this primer!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this sleek tub packaging which allows me to squeeze just the amount of primer I need. No waste over here! It has a sticky feel once dried but that makes the makeup stay put. Limits the amount of sweat that seeps through all day


Not for dry skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Honestly I wanted to like it but this made my make up turn so textured and dry. I broke out shortly after using it and I did try different foundations brands and with each it still dried textured
Works well
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The e.l.f. Power Grip Primer is a good, affordable option for anyone looking to make their makeup last longer. I really like how it has a slightly sticky texture that helps foundation and concealer stay in place throughout the day. My makeup definitely looks smoother and stays put for hours. However, it does take a minute to dry down, and if you don't let it set properly, it can feel a little tacky or cause slight pilling with certain products. It's also not the most hydrating, so I recommend pairing it with a good moisturizer if you have dry skin. Overall, it's a solid drugstore primer that performs well for the price and is great for everyday use.

Super good and affordable
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I absolutely love this primer. It has a matte finish which is perfect for my oily skin. A little bit goes a long way. So this small tube will last forever
This really works
It's not often a product does what it actually advertises and I'm so impressed with this primer. It really does provide a base for your foundation to grip to. I work in a hospital and often have a mask on my face for surgery, and am always self consious when I take the mask off my foundation is wiped off my nose, cheeks, and chin. While this primer doesn't keep my foundation on perfectly, it's a big improvement. A little goes a long way, less than a pea sized amount spread across the face and then dab it in. Let it sit for a minute and then apply foundation. It makes my dry skin dewier as the day goes on so if you're oily you probably won't like it. But great for dry skin. Will definitely be purchasing again!
