Game-Changer for My Makeup Routine!
I recently tried the Power Elf Grip Primer Gel, and Iâm 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 feelsâit’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!

Holds your foundation great not sticky and lightweight
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.

ELF is probably my favorite brand now.
I am pretty sure that everything I can say about this primer has been said before. It is a game changer in the world of foundation. It literally sticks your foundation to your skin and makes all of your makeup last so much longer. And my foundation looks smoother. It is amazing. I have never tried the brand that ELF duped, but I don’t see how it could be better than this. Plus the price is fantastic. I regret waiting to try it as long as I have but I have always used silicone primers. I want to try the one with niacinamide next. I cannot recommend this enough.

Good primer for the price.
I purchased this to compare with my usual primer. This product does feel a bit tacky when applying but when you wait about 30 seconds, you can apply makeup without the tacky feel. It kept my makeup to stay in place and is a lot less than my usual brand. I would purchase again.

Works Well & Isn’t Expensive
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.

Good quality
This product will forever stay in my makeup routine. Before my application of my elf grip primer, I wash my face in order for the primer to stick. The foundation I apply after placing the primer (I leave the primer to dry for a few seconds) leaves a glowing and not cakey appearance. It lasts for a good while for when I go to work.

Best primer I ever tried!
I’ve been buying the experience primer and setting spray for years and I’m never happy with how my makeup looks at the end of the day but this is the best way better than anything I’ve used. I’d give more stars if I could.

ELF Primer
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.

âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ perfect for a long-lasting basei’ve been using the e.l.f blue power grip primer along with the e.l.f putty primer, and it’s honestly a game-changer. this primer gives my makeup such a strong grip and helps it stay in place all day without sliding off or fading. i love how it makes my skin feel smooth and tacky just enough to hold everything in place without feeling heavy.when i pair it with the elf putty primer, my makeup looks fresh from the morning to the evening. it really helps my foundation go on smoothly and prevents any creasing or separation.iâve tried a lot of primers, but this one gives me the long-lasting hold iâve been looking for. itâs lightweight and super effective, and my makeup looks flawless for hours. this primer is definitely a staple in my routine now!

Je nâavais jamais utilisé de base avant dâappliquer mon fond de teint et honnêtement je lâadore, pas besoin dâen mettre beaucoup, le laisser un peut sécher après application et ensuite appliquer le fond de teint, on a non seulement une sensation que la peau est liftée tirée mais le fond de teint reste en place toute la journée et réduit fortement la brillance moi qui ai la peau grâce.Bref, je mâétais encore une fois basée sur les commentaires et ils disaient vrai, je recommande ce produit
