Great hold- soft matte finish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer keeps my makeup in place all day and gives a smooth, soft-matte look without drying my skin. It feels a little tacky at first, but once it sets, foundation goes on flawlessly. Great performance for the price.

really good and affordable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it is so good underneath foundation and i found that it makes your make up last way longer all day then i have experienced with other primers is also is clear and doesnt leave a hue on your face or oxidize your makeup at all it came off easily and is overall a great product for everyday wear

Helps makeup last longer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this elf primer a lot. It helps keep my makeup last throughout the day. Blends well with other makeup. Doesn’t clog my pores and works well with my sensitive skin.

Great Primer! Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There was no pigmentation which was great. I was initially concerned because it is very sticky but makeup application was even. There is no scent and it is easy to remove!

Super matte.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thick formula super matte not sure if I would purchase this item but I’m not a huge fan of primer anyways. I still use this when I’m looking to do an extra matte face. Almost hard to work with but I like the feeling of it and it smells nice.
