I only had it on for a couple of hours (think 2-3) so can’t comment on how well it stays on throughout the day. But I must’ve had some kind of allergic reaction because my cheeks were burning (which is where I only put the product) and now they are dry and peeling. Didn’t want to give it one star because it could just be my skin but definitely not for me.

This picture is with the primer and the rest of my makeup done. This is with no filter and no face work or botox and I only use elf products!! This is absolutely the best I use to buy Younique primer which isn’t cheap and this is absolutely amazing and stays all day and keeps my makeup and skin amazing all day!! I seriously will never use any other primer or face products besides elf!!

This primer is perfection! It holds your makeup in place without making it look greasy or cakey. It’s not expensive like the other brands and it just overall is a great purchase!

I’ve never really used primers. I don’t use makeup really, except on my eyes. But I decided to get this, and a tinted moisturizer, to go under my blush/highlighter. SOOO recommend. I also started putting it on my lashes, now the curl holds so much better and my mascara doesn’t smudge.

Cette base !! C’est une pépite ! Combinée avec le spray fixateur L’Oréal votre maquillage ne peut mal de bouger c’est dingue !! Au début c’est tout collant on se demande pourquoi et jnr fois que ça seche on a compris que notre maquillage ne bougera Pas. Magnifique découverte. Attention de ne pas en mettre de trop c’est hyper important ❤️

Starting my day with flawless makeup has never been easier thanks to the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer. This gel-based, hydrating primer is like a magic potion that smooths my skin and ensures my makeup stays in place all day long.
I love how lightweight and non-greasy the formula is, making it perfect for layering under foundation without feeling heavy. The primer creates a smooth canvas, minimizing pores and blurring imperfections, which helps my makeup application look seamless and professional. Plus, the moisturizing properties keep my skin hydrated, preventing any dryness or flakiness throughout the day.
However, the compact size is great for travel, but a larger bottle would be more economical for everyday use. Additionally, while it grips makeup well, it can sometimes feel a bit sticky if too much is applied, requiring a light touch for optimal results.
Overall, the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer is a fantastic addition to any makeup routine. It’s effective, affordable, and keeps my makeup looking fresh and flawless from morning till night. A solid 5-star rating for its performance and hydrating benefits, with a tiny star lost to its occasional stickiness when over-applied.

Avis après une semaine d utilisation: Produit vraiment top Une petite noisette suffit pour couvrir l’ensemble du visage. Appliqué sur une peau propre hydratée et surtout sèche il faut attendre quelques minutes avant de mettre son fond de teint ( sinon ça peluche) Vraiment une grosse différence, le maquillage tiens super bien et ne bouge pas. Meilleur fixateur de maquillage que j’ai testé ( mieux que certaines grandes marque )!

Works well I think. Very sticky and I feel like my makeup is sticky after but that could just be me. The nakeup does grab unto it very well. I live in the tropics and I would say that it performs well

I used this e.l.f. Pore Grip Primer in almost 100° F weather and my foundation stayed intact all day. I made sure to apply it in front of a fan blowing directly on my face so that I wasn’t sweating at all when applying (it was that kind of hot when you’re sweating in air conditioning). Great results, smooth, filtered look. Seriously impressive. However, on a couple of other occasions I was more rushed when applying and sweating slightly. I applied, waited a minute, gently dabbed the sweat away and reappllied a small amount in the areas I dabbed. I then applied my foundation but the results were not nearly as good. My foundation ran all day and looked a hot mess – literally. So my experience is that if there’s any moisture on your face when applying then the results are not that great – but the results are picture perfect when applying to COMPLETELY dry skin.

I am an everyday makeup wearer and usually buy luxury products from top makeup stores. Between being a mother and having a full time career I can have some long days. But with this product my makeup still looks fresh 13 hours later. I’m so glad I found this product! It works better than my luxury brands for a fraction of the cost.
