this sucks
this makes my makeup seperate for some reason, I used this primer with a matte full coverage concealer/foundation and it starts to seperate around my cheeks and nose. I have a set skincare routine aswell but i definitely prefer the poreless putty primer over this. also $14.49 at shoppers is crazy work 😂

Great product
It's a primer that's scentless, non-sticky, and quickly absorbed by the skin. It comes in a plastic tube that's easy to carry anywhere, which is beneficial because it makes your makeup last longer. It's very affordable, as it contains 26ml.

Very thick
This power grip primer is definitely gripping, normally when I wear makeup I have to reapply my powder after a few hours but with this primer my makeup stayed on all day until I took it off at the end of the day. My skin tag is combination and so in the nose and chin area and along the jawline I tend to break out a lot and it is oilier but this tone down the shine and also did not cause any acne or breakouts to happen. The only problem I really had with this power grip primer is that it is super thick which made it a little harder to distribute evenly across my whole face. I would still definitely purchase this product because it is worth it

Love it!
Great product! It is extremely grippy so I use it for more of a full glam look rather than every day, but it definitely does the trick. Doesn’t leave my skin feeling bad at all.

BEST PRODUCT
if you want long lasting and a soft matte finish this product will definitely get you the results. I wore it with the Soft Glam Foundation topped with the halo glow and it was beautiful and I wore it to the Botanical Gardens in Atlanta to test the wear it held up so great this picture was at the end of a 2 hour walk.

Loved
I really love the original power grip primers, but I’ve really oily skin so I wanted to try the matte primer and I’ve only used a couple times now, but I absolutely love it

Not as good as the original
⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really wanted to love this matte version, but it just didn’t hit the mark for me. It does help with oil control and gives a soft matte finish, but I found the texture a bit harder to work with compared to the original Power Grip Primer. The original goes on smoother and grips makeup better in my opinion. This one isn’t bad, just not my favorite—I’ll be sticking with the OG!

It Works
Overall, I really liked this product. The texture is great and it does help your make up going more smoothly. My only complaint about this product is that it is extremely thick. Even when I only apply a layer it takes a minute to dry and I just don’t have time to wait for it. I would use it again if I was doing make up for special occasion.
