e.l.f. Power Grip Primer, Gel-Based & Hydrating Face Primer For Smoothing Skin & Gripping Makeup, Moisturizes & Primes, 0.811 Fl Oz (24 ml.)

I’ve been really impressed with the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer, especially considering how affordable it is. It works just as well as some high-end primers I’ve tried. I definitely notice a difference on the days I use it—my makeup lasts significantly longer and looks fresher throughout the day. The primer has a slightly tacky texture, which helps grip foundation and other products really well. It also feels lightweight and hydrating, and it doesn’t pill or interfere with my other products. If you're looking for a budget-friendly primer that genuinely improves makeup wear time, this is a great choice.

I recently tried the Power Elf Grip Primer Gel, and I’m absolutely in love with it! From the first application, I noticed how smooth and velvety my skin felt. The gel texture grips onto foundation perfectly, creating a flawless base that lasts all day without fading or sliding off. My makeup went on so easily, and my complexion looked more even and fresh throughout the day.What I love most is how lightweight and non-greasy it feels—it's perfect for my combination skin. It also helps to minimize the appearance of pores, which is a huge bonus. Plus, it's affordable and the bottle lasts a long time, making it a great value for the price.If you're looking for a primer that truly holds your makeup in place and gives you a smooth canvas, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Definitely a must-have in my makeup routine!

This primer has become a staple in my makeup routine. Its lightweight texture applies easily and leaves skin with a soft, velvety finish that doesn't feel greasy. It visibly minimizes pores and helps control shine all day, making it ideal even for combination or oily skin. It also prolongs the wear of makeup, keeping it looking flawless for hours without the need for touch-ups. It works well with both liquid and powder foundations and doesn't clump or clog pores. In short, it's an excellent ally for achieving a long-lasting, professional finish.

A good primer, but does feel a little sticky when it goes on. Seemed to do the trick when applying makeup. Good value for the price.

absolutely love the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer! I use it daily along with the e.l.f. Acne Fighting Putty Primer, and the combo works like magic. I wear a full face of makeup for 6 to 9 hour work shifts, and this primer plays a huge role in keeping everything in place without melting or fading.It’s incredibly comparable to the Milk Hydro Grip Primer, but way more budget-friendly—which makes it a win in my book. If you're looking for long-lasting hold without breaking the bank, this is it. I’ll definitely keep repurchasing!

I have tried so many primers over the years. At all price points from high end to drugstore brands. A few have worked good or okay enough. This ELF primer is the only one I have used that I can say works great, better than great, like absolutely incredible. It just HOLDS your foundation, is lightweight, not sticky and not irritating.I'm 54 with sensitive combo skin, really sensitive. I live in a very hot and humid climate and usually my foundation melts away so quick, just sweats off. This combined with the ELF finishing spray was just the best combo for me. I made it through the whole workday inside and out and my Makeup Stayed with only 2 oil/sweat bolts and light powder touch ups.

I really like the way this primer performs. I have purchased the Lancome Pro Base Make-up Primer twice before, once at the store and once via Amazon. It is expensive and doesn't perform nearly as well as this e.l.f. primer. By the end of the day, my make-up seems to have soaked into to my skin a bit, but it still looks okay and covers most of my rosacea. The Lancome product didn't grab my make-up well and by the end of the day, my make-up was filling my pores and looked worn away on the surface of my skin. I'll buy this e.l.f. primer again.

Not to bad of a primer if you're looking for a tacky primer that grips and holds your makeup for several hours. The consistency is almost serum like as opposed to a "gel", which is fine because it is quite easy to apply and glides on effortlessly. Once it's on the recommendation is to let it dry for roughly half a minute prior to using complexion makeup products. After the dry down the facial canvas is left with a slightly tacky surface which does in fact aid in longer wear time. It does remain tacky throughout the day and hair flyaways have a tendency to stick to the face, also after several hours of wear it starts to look a bit oily and breaks down. If you're out n about you may want to do a quick touch-up or give your face a light dusting of powder. This is the point where you start getting that feeling that all you want to do is get home and wash your face ~ at least this is how I felt and what I experienced.I gave this ELF PRIMER a shot because I wanted to see how well it helped the staying power of my makeup, and it definitely does increase wear time. Unfortunately, there's zero blurring capabilities and this is a must have feature for me. I applied the primer all over my face and let it dry down the recommended time and then went in and applied my blurring primer in the areas where I needed it the most, then proceeded with complexion application. End result with both primers gave me a nice end result.Overall, the primer works as intended. I'm less than thrilled with the break down after several hours and definitely not fond of my hair sticking to my face or the stray eyelash that dances on my face until it gets stuck. I will use it on the days I need staying power, aside from those days I will stick with my blurring primer for a more flawless finish.
