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...

elf is great but I would not repurchase this
I have acne prone oily skin. I bought this recently from Ulta thinking it would be great because the OG power grip primer is good, but the matte was not. I put a decent amount all over my face and put my usual base on. The makeup would come off entirely in my nose area when I would blend it or set it with powder. I do not recommend it.
Flawless
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Such an awesome product and I will be buying again! The texture is wonderful and the price point is amazing! Everyone needs to try it at least once!
Good time to prime anytime
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This primer is a good scent and feel good texture wise. The finish is good even though I don't use prime often. It doesn't take a lot to cover everywhere. The package is simple and minimal which I love.

Sticky!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product is STICKY my makeup doesn't budge with it either! I wore it to an outdoor festival and my makeup did not budge. It feels good on the skin as well! The smell is pleasant and the texture is gooey

Nice Grip
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer quickly became one of my go-to picks for keeping makeup in place—especially on humid days when shine likes to take over. It has that same sticky, gripping power as the original but with a shine-controlling matte finish, which is a game-changer for my oily zones. The gel texture feels light but dries down with just enough tackiness to lock in foundation like a magnet. What I really love is the way it smooths out pores without making my skin feel dry or tight. I've found it works best when I let it sit for a minute before applying foundation, giving it time to set properly. It definitely helps my makeup last longer, though if you prefer a softer hydration, you might like the original Power Grip better.
