E.L.F. Power Grip Primer And Setting Spray Review
It's a sticky face primer that "grips" onto your makeup, making it last all day. Best of all, it's only $10, and apparently, is a dupe of Milk makeup's HydroGrip Primer.
As demonstrated in this clip by @pamperplace, the product has such a sticky texture that putting a layer on your face will make anything stick to it like glue.
As someone who has oily skin, I am always on the lookout for products that make my makeup last all day. Once I saw the video about the Power Grip Primer–and shortly after discovered the $10 setting spray version–I knew I had to put the two products to the test.
After experimenting with the Power Grip Primer and Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray for the last few weeks, here are my honest thoughts:
For starters, the Power Grip Primer is "a gel-based, hydrating face primer that smooths skin while gripping your makeup," according to e.l.f's website. It's great for oily, dry, and combination skin, and also helps you attain "long-lasting makeup."
The primer is a gooey, sticky consistency. I usually dispense three pumps on my hand and use my fingers to apply the product onto my face.
The primer goes on clear and blends right into my skin. To the touch, my face is sticky but it also feels lightweight. My face always looks super shiny and glossy after I put it on, but I've learned to trust the process.
After applying the primer on my face, I wait two to three minutes for the product to sink into my skin. Waiting is the key here–I've found this makes your makeup glide on smoothly while still gripping to your face. Not waiting until the product has settled has left me with makeup that feels too slippery and slides right off.
Putting foundation over this primer is always a breeze. I use a brush to apply my liquid foundation, and it feels like I'm painting over a smooth canvas. The primer gives my foundation a dewy finish and definitely highlights my oiliness, but I've combatted this with setting powder (which I'll get to later on in this post.)
It's important to note that both the Power Grip Primer and Dewy Setting Spray are made with water-based formulas, so your foundation should also be water-based. In my experience, mixing silicone-based foundations with these products results in patchy foundation.
After applying my foundation, I spray my skin with a generous amount of the Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray. Its a "bi-phase makeup setting spray with shockingly fine mist that grips makeup for long-lasting wear with a hydrated, dewy finish."
Just like its primer counterpart, it works for oily, dry, and combination skin. It can also be used to prep the skin before makeup application.
Before spraying, I shake the bottle to activate the bi-phase formula. Then, I spray a generous amount all over my face. Looking back at this clip of when I applied it, I'm honestly shocked because it didn't feel any product spraying on my face. That's how fine and lightweight the setting spray is–I barely noticed there was anything coming out of the bottle.
After setting my foundation with the setting spray, I wait about a minute or two for the products to settle into my skin. Then, I apply cream bronzer, blush, and eye shadow. The end result is always a seamlessly blended, dewy makeup look.
To set my makeup, I applied a very light layer of loose setting powder over my T-zone to prevent my face from becoming too oily.
*11 hours later*
It's easy to think a primer or setting spray is great upon initial application, but the real test of its powers is how your makeup looks after a long day. I snapped this photo after a full day of running errands around New York City, and I honestly think my makeup looks pretty good.
At the end of the day, my foundation wasn't flaking or pilling, and the coverage was definitely still there. Other than my blush fading a little, my makeup was fully in tact and stayed on my face all day. They weren't lying when they say it's a gripping primer.The only real complaint I had was *shocker* my face was oily, but that's consistent with every makeup product I use.
I can confidently say the PowerGrip Primer and Setting Spray did keep my makeup on all day. It also definitely delivered on giving my face a dewy finish.
If you are a fan of the "dewy skin" look, this primer and setting spray does just that. However, these two products take some trial and error–you'll have to experiment to see what works best for you in terms of application and technique. But for $10 a pop, I would recommend. Once you get your routine down, the price makes these two items so worth the money!

L'Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer reviewers equate to the $80 ~designer~ Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream but wayyyy cheaper and still just as hydrating, plumping, and smoothing. You're gonna love how it makes your skin feel without leaving your pores clogged or your face feeling greasy. Lip Bar tinted skin conditioner with SPF 11 to help protect your skin while giving it a dewy, natural, no-makeup look. Sunscreen + hydration + a hint of color = your new fave everyday product. A bar soap bag so you can still use your favorite soaps but actually exfoliate your skin in the process. Not to mention this can help extend the life of your soap by creating a rich lather every shower. And you won't have to throw away that awkward sliver when it's almost at the end of its life cause this bag will let you still hold onto it and use every last piece.
