Hydro Grip - Primer

Great primer! You can’t go wrong with it. I've seen this in many videos, and it didn't disappoint. People warned me it would be sticky, but I was pleasantly surprised and it had the perfect non-stick consistency!

She’s not it…

Pills under any product! I have dry/combo/sensitive skin and although if it doesn’t irritate me it feels sticky and pills under my foundation/skin tint. For me personally, it’s a no.

Peels

I like it but on my skin after a few hours it basically peels. Maybe it will work better on you!

I like it

I got a sample of this primer and I like it. I paired it with the attitude TirTir foundation (the red one) and it worked beautifully together with the foundation. I have oily to combined skin and I like how the primer is a bit sticky after application. I felt like the makeup had something to grip on to. Noted I haven't used it for long but so far I like and considering buying a full size. That's also the reason for the four stars.

great, doesn’t lastblong

the product itself works well, hydrates easy to apply and doesn’t peel giving a smooth result however i notice the product doesn’t last the longest time which is a slight issue considering the price other than that i love the product and is very easy to use which is compatible with me as i have quite textured skin it smooths out

Elf PowerGrip Primer is way better!

I got a sample of this in a set, and I was really excited to try it. When I used it, I noticed it had a foul smell. If you are easily affected by chemically smells, this is not for you. It also pilled my makeup! I applied it and I was almost done with my makeup. I went to put on powder and it all just started peeling off. Had to restart my look! The elf one is way better/cheaper

one of my staple products

After years w/o makeup, I started wearing it again and was overwhelmed with all the new techniques, new brands and products. Almost every YT makeup tutorial I watched featured this so I bought it. I have very oily acne prone skin but this doesn’t break me out. It works well with my foundation and skincare products, even my heavyier barrier repair moisturizer. It’s clean beauty and I hope they never reformulate bc so many of my fave products or being reformulated to meet “clean beauty” standards and it’s always a downgrade. this doesn’t break me out. My foundation is easy to apply with this and it looks fantastic. I was worried about piling with my skin scare products bc primers seem so thick, but it works very well with my heavy moisturizer and/or sunscreen. Also relieved its a clean beauty brand because they are reformulating so many old favorites to prone skin and this doesn’t break me out. My makeup lasts

I use it without makeup!

I use this without/minimal makeup and I love it! It makes my skin look so much better even if it’s subtle. I got compliments from friends saying my skin looked clear and smooth and I love the glow it gives me!

The BEST primer!

I absolutely love this primer. Makes my skin feel so nice since it’s so hydrating and it’s honestly the only one that makes my makeup last all day. If you’re looking for a good primer, this is the one!!

Stickyyy!

Great hold and sticky enough! Great quality primer. I like it to prep my skin.

Alcohol Denat. + Dry skin = Major Breakouts!

I was using this consistently for a month, I found myself with major cystic-like acne on my jaw, cheeks, and chin. I stopped wearing makeup the next month in the hopes it would clear up. I was almost there when I used it again on a night out! lo and behold major bumps grew back and it finally clicked! This was the one product majorly angering my skin! I checked the ingredients to find alcohol denat.! Alcohol denat. is literally ethanol, which can provide a wonderful cooling feeling on the skin and definitely has its perks in cosmetic formulations, but it is within the first 5 ingredients meaning it is the 5th most abundant ingredient within the product, long-term use completely dried my skin and ruined my barrier causing my skin to overcompensate... inflaming and overproducing oils aka Major breakouts. I would not recommend if you have dry skin or sensitive skin!

Not worth it

Better products and don’t like this one. Feels weird
