It excels at smoothing the skin and creating a strong base that grips makeup, significantly extending wear. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, it also provides intense hydration for a plumped appearance.

The e.l.f. Power Grip Primer - Clear is engineered to be your makeup's best ally, delivering a noticeable difference in wear and finish.
Makeup Longevity: This primer creates a unique, slightly tacky surface that acts like a magnet for your foundation, concealer, and other face makeup. Users consistently report makeup staying put for significantly longer, reducing the need for touch-ups.
Hydration Boost: Thanks to hyaluronic acid, your skin feels refreshed and hydrated upon application. This is particularly beneficial for those with dry or combination skin, as it helps prevent makeup from clinging to dry patches or looking cakey.
Smooth Application: The gel texture glides effortlessly onto the skin, filling in minor pores and fine lines to create a smoother, more uniform canvas. This allows foundation to apply more seamlessly and evenly.
Prepping Your Skin: Always start with a clean, moisturized face. Allow your moisturizer to fully absorb before applying the primer.
Optimal Amount: A pea-sized amount is usually sufficient for the entire face. Using too much can make the skin feel excessively sticky.
Application Technique: Apply the primer with your fingertips, gently patting and smoothing it into the skin. Focus on areas where makeup tends to fade or crease fastest, such as the T-zone or under-eyes.
Wait Time: For best results, allow the primer to set for about 30-60 seconds before applying your foundation. This gives the gel time to develop its gripping properties.
Layering: If using other skincare products like serums or SPF, apply them before the primer. The Power Grip Primer should be the last step before your makeup application.
Versatility: While designed for face makeup, some users find it beneficial for gripping eyeshadow primer on eyelids for extra longevity.
Cleanse & Moisturize: Begin with a freshly cleansed and moisturized face. Ensure your moisturizer has fully absorbed into the skin.
Dispense Product: Squeeze a pea-sized amount of e.l.f. Power Grip Primer - Clear onto your fingertips.
Apply Evenly: Gently pat and smooth the primer all over your face, or target specific areas where you want makeup to adhere best.
Allow to Set: Wait approximately 30-60 seconds for the primer to become tacky and create its grip.
Apply Makeup: Proceed with your usual foundation, concealer, and other face makeup.
Skin Types: This primer is ideal for all skin types, including dry, oily, combination, and normal skin. Its hydrating properties benefit dry skin, while its gripping power helps control makeup longevity on oily skin.
