e.l.f.Power Grip Matte Primer, Gel-Based & Hydrating Face Primer For Smoothing Skin & Gripping Makeup, Moisturizes & Primes, Vegan & Cruelty-Free

I love the elf grip primers (regular blue and pink) but am on the more oily end of the combination skin spectrum. I tried this primer that I don’t always see in stores right before realizing a lot of my oiliness would be helped via a pressed powder and powder puff instead of powder with a brush. But overall the combo of this primer (I use on my face and eyelids) and my usual liquid foundation routine plus baked/pressed in (powder puff) powder helps lock my makeup in all day.I work in a hot/dryer part of California. I work remotely for most of rhe weekday mornings and at a bar four nights a week. My long days I wear makeup from 9am-12am and this primer along with a mini powder puff and blotting powder In my work bag helps keep the oiliness at bay!

I have terrible skin issues and this is the only primer that doesn’t make my makeup look disgusting by noon! I would highly recommend it. I definitely think putting on moisturizer waiting 2-3 minutes and then applying this helps! I use water based foundation so I have to use water based primer. This one I believe comes in both options and the water based one works great for me!!

I recently tried the e.l.f. Matte Power Grip Primer and overall, I’m pretty happy with it! The formula is noticeably thicker than the original Power Grip, which took a little getting used to during application. It spreads well but feels a bit heavier on the skin at first.It’s also not quite as tacky as the regular version, so the grip isn't as intense — but it still holds makeup in place nicely throughout the day, especially for my combo-to-oily skin. I do appreciate the matte finish, which helps keep shine under control.All in all, it’s a solid product if you're looking for a mattifying primer with decent staying power. Just know it's a bit different from the original!

Works great I work twelve hour shifts and my makeup still looks great at the end of the day!

It kept my makeup nice and matte and in place! I wish I would’ve found this before the green power grip. Matte girlies it’s a must buy.

It is just okay. It does dry down very matte once you apply it but I don't think it is controlling oil all that much. I think it is just another primer jumping on the grippy gel primer trend. When you think about it it should really stay sticky so that your makeup lasts. I wouldn't purchase this if you have other sticky primers that work well for you.

This is fantastic!!!

Favorite primer! Not too matte but just right to pair with a mid dewy spray
