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.
Most Helpful Critical Review
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...

It's OK if you like a sticky, grippy primer
I don't love this product, but that doesn't mean it's not good. I prefer a silicone finish which I didn't know until I tried a grippy primer. It's got that tacky base but it dries rather quickly and doesn't interfere with your foundation's finish, if that makes sense. So yes, I'd recommend it if someone was looking for an affordable grip primer but for someone who prefers a different texture I'd say pass.
mixed results
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] When this says power grip is really mean power grip! It applies tacky but loosens up as it sits on your skin. I didn't have to use much to cover my face and I like the squeeze tube. I used it under the e.l.f soft glam satin foundation and it looked so bad! It sunk into my pores and looked patchy. I didn't have this issue when I wore it with a heavier foundation so I have mixed feelings about it. Even when I used a matte foundation I noticed it gave a glowy finish, which I don't hate but if you have oily skin you might want to skip it
great primer for combo skin
great primer! i have combo-dry skin so i get oily in my t zone after a long day of wearing makeup so this primer really helped with preventing that oil buildup throughout the day. it helps the makeup last all day as well with a smooth finish. not super mattifying so still works for dry skin as well. i will say the primer is pretty thick though but easy to smooth out over the skin

Sleek
Smooth, creamy texture. Nice coverage, and it seems to have a good finish even after drying. Im not a fan of how matte it makes my skin look. Love the packaging, though, and not much of a scent.
Elf primer
Elf primer did not glide on like my used Loreal primer. It was like dry mud. I'll spend the extra dollar or two and get Loreal.
