E.L.F. Power Grip Primer And Setting Spray Review
If your social media algorithms are anything like mine, you've probably seen a ton of videos about the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer. 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 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! What primer and setting spray do you use? Let me know in the comments!

My favourite Urban Decay setting spray is under £8 with deal stack
Setting sprays are an essential part of make up routines, especially during the summer months when hot and humid weather threatens the masterpieces we have created. The Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray has been my holy grail for over a decade, and now shoppers can add it to their routine for a bargain price. Usually retailing at £28.50, Cult Beauty is currently offering the full-size 118ml setting spray for £22.80 when the special discount code WEDDINGSEASON is applied at the checkout. The good news doesn't end there, as savvy shoppers can save even more money on the All Nighter Setting Spray through TopCashback. New members who sign up to the money saving site for free get an extra 2% off at Cult Beauty plus a £15 cashback bonus that they can use when purchasing the setting spray, bringing the cost down to just £7.42. Meanwhile, existing TopCashback members can take advantage of the extra 2% Cult Beauty discount, bringing the price down to £22.42. The deal runs until 11.59pm on Monday, May 26. Cult Beauty's discount combined with TopCashback's deal makes the retailer the cheapest place to buy the Urban Decay setting spray, with LookFantastic currently offering it on sale for £23.60. There are many reasons why I've stuck with All Nighter for so many years, the main being it's the only setting spray I've used that makes my makeup last from morning until night without the need for touch-ups. Beauty fans interested in exploring other makeup setting sprays may be interested in the MAC Fix + Setting Spray that's available at Boots for £29. For shoppers looking for a more budget-friendly alternative, the e.l.f Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray costs £10 at Superdrug. The Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray is suitable for all skin types and claims to lock makeup in place for 'up to 16 hours', which I've found to be true. It's waterproof, smudge-proof and transfer-proof, plus it uses temperature control technology. I'm not the only beauty fan who adores the All Nighter Setting Spray, with it boasting an impressive rating of 4.81 out of five on Cult Beauty's website. One impressed buyer said: "This is the best setting spray there is or ever was, even when I try others they have nothing on All Nighter. Keeps my makeup on all day, even at a festival in the rain." A second wrote: "I could not wear any makeup without finishing it off with this setting spray. My makeup lasts ages when I use it, it doesn't irritate my skin and it leaves my face feeling so fresh and hydrated." Unfortunately one Cult Beauty customer was left disappointed with the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, as they explained: "It stings a bit and also makes my makeup drip." However, another shopper left a glowing review which reads: "I've been using this setting spray for about 10 years and will never use anything else, I've tried many others but nothing competes. This keeps my makeup on all day and night even in the rain, pool parties and foam parties - my makeup did not budge. As soon as I run out I rebuy, this is probably the best thing Urban Decay has ever made." To take advantage of this TopCashback offer to get the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray for £7.42, new members can sign up for free here. Search for 'Cult Beauty' and click 'Get Cashback Now'. Shop and checkout on the website as usual, remembering to apply Cult Beauty's discount code WEDDINGSEASON, and the cashback will track and appear in the account within seven working days of purchasing. The £15 cashback will become payable and available to withdraw and spend after Cult Beauty has paid TopCashback the commission.
