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 😂

New favorite primer!
The e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer is a total game-changer for anyone with oily or combination skin. It grips onto my makeup like no other primer I’ve used and keeps it looking fresh and matte all day long. The texture is a bit tacky at first which I actually love because I know my foundation is going to stay put. It minimizes the appearance of my pores and creates a super smooth canvas for makeup. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in the longevity of my makeup since I started using it and it helps control shine without drying my skin out. It’s just as good as more expensive primers and definitely worth trying if you want that all-day matte look.

If you have trouble with oily skin or areas on you
This is what a 9 hr shift and an hour at the gym looks like with this primer! I love it, really does keep my foundation looking matte. This little tube holds quite a bit and you only need a small amount. It’s also perfect for spot treating those areas of the face that tend to get a little more oily than others.

Love!
This matte version of the grip primer is soo good! I really didn’t think it could get better but it did. It dries quicker and even feels stickier. I tried powder on one side and liquid on the other and it seems like the liquid is a bit more poreless.

I like this primer because it does keep my face matte. I like that it also holds foundation or setting powder really good. I like that the texture are like other primers from this line.

Thick for a bronzer
I did not get the primer. I got the bronzing drops. A bit too dark and thick for bronzing drops for me. No weird smell. More of a foundation than a bronze. Packaging was nice.

Great price and effective
I love the price of this and how great it works. It leaves you looking matte just like it says and keeps my makeup in place after a busy day. The bottle is sleek and I like the black it’s simple and effective. Coverage is great.
