The Maybelline Grippy Serum Makeup Primer excels in creating an ideal canvas for your makeup, truly living up to its 'grippy' name. Upon application, its refreshing serum texture glides smoothly onto the skin, quickly absorbing to leave a slightly tacky, yet comfortable, finish. This tackiness is the key to its 'Serum-To-Grip' technology, which acts like a magnet for your foundation, concealer, and other base products. Users will notice their makeup applying more smoothly and adhering better, leading to significantly extended wear. For example, a full face of makeup applied in the morning can maintain its fresh appearance through a busy workday and into the evening without creasing or fading. The added niacinamide not only contributes to a brighter complexion over time but also ensures your skin feels hydrated for up to 24 hours, preventing the dry or tight feeling sometimes associated with long-wearing makeup. It's particularly effective for those who experience makeup breakdown around the T-zone or laugh lines, providing a reliable barrier against oil and movement.
Cleanse and Moisturize: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Allow your moisturizer to fully absorb before applying primer.
Dispense: Pump a small amount (pea-sized is often sufficient) of the Maybelline Grippy Serum Makeup Primer onto your fingertips.
Apply Evenly: Gently spread the primer evenly across your face, focusing on areas where makeup tends to wear off fastest, such as the T-zone, cheeks, and chin. Use light dabbing or patting motions rather than rubbing vigorously.
Allow to Set: Wait approximately 30-60 seconds for the primer to become tacky and fully set on your skin. This 'grip' is crucial for optimal makeup adhesion.
Apply Makeup: Once set, proceed with your foundation, concealer, and other base makeup as usual.
This primer is designed to work seamlessly with most liquid, cream, and powder foundations. Its gripping texture enhances the adherence of various formulas. For best results, use it with Maybelline's compatible base products, though it performs well across many brands.
Storage: Store the primer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its efficacy.
Hygiene: Always apply with clean hands to prevent contamination of the product.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically a jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), to determine its usable life after opening.
