Not as impressing as I hoped.
Not sticky at all. These kinda of products remind me of the milk hydro grip or the elf gripping primer. They are meant to dry sticky so that the foundation and concealer sticks on. I apply the primer let it dry and nothing it’s not sticky at all. I do notice however that it does help my makeup stay on longer. It’s not that it doesn’t work but it doesn’t measure up to the other competitors on the market. I just expected it to work better.

Not impressed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like the NYX Face Glue primer because I’d heard so much hype about how well it grips makeup and keeps it in place all day. The texture feels interesting at first—kind of tacky in a way that seems like it should help foundation stick better—and it does initially help makeup apply smoothly. However, it just didn’t work well for me in real use. After applying, I found that my makeup didn’t sit as nicely as expected and started to feel a bit uncomfortable throughout the day. Instead of giving a flawless long-wear finish, it ended up feeling heavy and didn’t really improve the overall look or longevity of my makeup the way I hoped. Overall, it might work for some people, especially those with oily skin who like a very strong grip, but for me it was disappointing and not something I would repurchase.

Hi there HannahM, Thank you for sharing yours experience (and pic) with the FACE GLUE GRIPPING PRIMER. It is a shame this primer didn't live up to the hype for you. While "gripping" primers are designed to hold onto foundation, that same sticky texture can feel heavy or like a thick mask on drier skin, which explains the discomfort you felt by the end of the day. For a drier complexion, we thought of you too…take a look at the Plump Right Back Primer + Serum. https://www.nyxcosmetics.com/face/primer/plump-right-back-primer-serum/NYX_1012.html Hi there HannahM, Thank you for sharing yours experience (and pic) with the FACE GLUE GRIPPING PRIMER.

It isn't good, but it isn't bad, keeps makeup on for a decent amount of time. I didn't feel as if it would allow my naketo stick all day. Decent product, just the price doesn't seem on par with the performance.

Makes foundation pill
When using this, my foundation “pills” or peels off my face. By the end of the day, my face is splotchy. This doesn’t happen when using the same foundation with other primers. Yes I wait for it to dry and I don’t use too many topical products/layer too many. I’m sad this doesn’t work as I wanted the “glue” or staying power. Would give 0 stars if possible

Hello Christy! We are sorry to hear that The Face Glue Primer did not provide the high-performance grip you were looking for and resulted in an uneven finish. Pilling can often occur when the specific technology in a gripping primer interacts with certain ingredients in a foundation, particularly if they have different base textures. To help the formula set seamlessly, we suggest starting with a very small, pea-sized amount and focusing it only on the areas where you need the most staying power. Instead of rubbing the product into your skin, try gently patting both the primer and your foundation into place with your fingertips or a damp beauty sponge to avoid disturbing the grip layer. Allowing your skincare to fully absorb for several minutes before applying the primer can also create a more stable surface for the "glue" to adhere to, ensuring your look stays locked in and smooth from morning until night.

Nyx never disappoints
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nyx never disappoints. You should always put some type of serum or moisturizer before applying your makeup in order for it to look good and seamless . This definitely works and the price is good .

I do not like how tacky this primer is. Maybe user error but no matter how I apply makeup it looks patchy or will pill after an hour or so

No no no
Worst makeup product I’ve ever tried. Has a great name, face “glue”, yeah cause it makes your makeup peel off your face like you used to peel Elmer’s glue off your hands in middle school. It actually looks so disgusting, creases so bad in smile lines, flakes off if you touch it, genuinely makes your skin look like cracked mud in the desert.

Great hard-core primer
Great primer if you are stuck with some acne or healing patch before an event. You might have to do one or two layers and apply carefully but this did was other primers couldn't when I was in a tough spot after destroying a pimple before a holiday party. I asked more than one friend if they could tell and they couldn't even identify what I was talking about (they would be honest). It also stayed flexible and didn't stiffen up like liquid bandage, which was my other option.

good face makeup primer
Now at first I wasn't so sure about this face primer. It's not oily and it doesn't dry out my skin. It's just fine.

Long lasting.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This primer is super cute. I was hesitant to use it because it looks like glue. Overall, it really holds up, and it didn't mess up my skin. Its light weight a little goes a oomg way so it is comfortable.
