Keeps makeup in place all day š¤
I got curious about this because I wanted to find a primer that really helps makeup stay put during hot summer days. I have sensitive skin, and many primers can irritate or feel heavy, so it was important for me that it would also work on my skin. What stands out the most is how good the grip is. Itās very economical, and only a small amount is needed. I noticed the best results when I let the primer set for a while before continuing with the rest of my makeup. Now during the summer, the makeup stays significantly better despite the heat, and my skin still feels comfortable. I havenāt experienced any irritation, and my skin also maintains a nice, naturally lasting glow. #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics916 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Completely okay
As a test pilot, I got to try this primer, my expectations were not high since the blue version didnāt work for me and this was the same story. When I first got it, I didnāt have many expectations but still hoped it would work better than the blue/green version. My honest opinion is that thereās nothing special about this and it wasnāt different from the other version. I donāt like primers like this because they are so thick to spread. It doesnāt feel like you get it all over your face since itās so rich and sticky. It held the makeup okay but my makeup became crumbly right after application. When I had just finished my makeup on top of this primer, the makeup didnāt look very good. The makeup looked much better after I got home from my summer job and the makeup had settled a bit. I have acne and combination skin, Iāve heard these can cause more acne but I havenāt noticed any more pimples than I usually get, which is good. But in the end, this wasnāt a product for me both because itās too rich and because the makeup became ruined right after application. I didnāt think it held anything much longer than my makeup does on its own. Sure, my makeup was a bit more pigmented than usual at the end of the day but absolutely nothing really special about this primer. #lykotestpilot #lykoreview #elfcosmetics662 views - The post was made 4 daysRating: 4 out of 5
Good primer
I have tried many primers and I can say that this type of primer is the best for long-lasting makeup that lasts all day and makes the makeup sit well. It has a thick-ish gel consistency that you need to blend well and let sit a bit before you start applying makeup for the best result. + Economical to use + Good for both light and full glam makeup + Can be used every day + Contains skincare - Gets a bit sticky on the hands after use It met all my expectations and will always be an easy favorite for me⨠#lykotestpilot #elf #elfcosmetics #primer213 views - The post was made 4 daysRating: 3 out of 5
Just a basic good product
The first impression was positive, the primer is easy to apply, and it has no strong scent at all, which is a big plus for sensitive skin. The primer keeps makeup in place well for most of the day, and makeup applies evenly on top. However, I noticed that makeup didnāt adhere as well around the nose and mouth. These areas are a bit drier for me, so I believe that affected the final result. I usually use a more moisturizing primer, so this felt neutral to me. It does what you expect from a primer but didnāt offer anything that would make me switch from my current favorite product. Overall, itās a functional basic product, but I donāt think I would buy it again myself. #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics33 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

ELF primer
Really nice pink packaging and it feels luxurious for being Elf. After trying this product for a couple of weeks, I unfortunately have to diss it. It has a pleasant scent, but it is very sticky and leaves a slightly stiff and uncomfortable feeling on the skin. But I definitely think it works well as a primer. The makeup stays well from morning to night. Overall, 3 out of 5 in rating. I got this as a Lyko test pilot and it was super fun, but unfortunately not something I would buy again. However, I love the setting spray and I will continue to use it every day! #elfcosmetics #lykotestpilot81 views - The post was made 5 daysRating: 4 out of 5
Surprised
I got to try the ELF Power Grip Primer Niacinamide and was positively surprised. I usually donāt like using primer because of the heavy feeling, but I didnāt get that feeling from this one. The skin felt really sticky after application, but the foundation applied very well and stayed all day. The niacinamide-containing formula also feels pleasant on the skin and didnāt irritate my sensitive skin. The only downside is that you should use the product sparingly, as too much can cause the makeup base to roll. All in all, a really good primer for its priceāļø #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics68 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 6 daysRating: 2 out of 5
A little disappointed
Visually cute and practical, like the pink color and the pump š©· The product itself was unfortunately not quite for me. Power Grip is really a fitting name, but I found the makeup harder to blend, and the thick/sticky consistency gave a feeling that the skin couldnāt breathe under the makeup. It definitely gives a glow, but on my skin, after a couple of hours, it started to look a bit oily, which I usually donāt struggle with. Maybe this primer is better to use in the fall/winter when itās not so warm outside š¤ Will pass it on to someone who hopefully will enjoy it more, but fun to have tested! šøāØ #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics61 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Good!
Have been lucky enough to try the product for a few weeks now and am surprised at how good it is. Haven't used primer much before, but I really liked this one. Found the product easy to spread on the skin and it created the āstickyā layer so the makeup would last better. I've noticed a big difference whether I use it or not. The makeup lasts much longer and doesn't fade during the day like it would have if I hadn't used the product. I think the packaging of the product is very nice and good. Since itās a tube with a pump, itās easy to get all the product out. I have sensitive, acne-prone, and combination skin and thought it suited my skin very well. Didnāt get any breakouts. Would recommend this if you need a primer so your makeup lasts longer, if not all dayš #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics56 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 weekRating: 4 out of 5
Difficult to apply
I had the chance to test this primer a couple of weeks ago š„° #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics The very first thing I noticed is that the primer is quite difficult to spread because of its texture. The product is sticky and feels like it sets immediately, so you have to apply quite a bit to get it spread evenly. Of course, this also depends on what skincare products you use before the primer and your skin type. I didnāt notice any effect from the niacinamide, maybe it works better over a longer period. I tried the primer with several different foundations and had no issues with any of them. Itās always good to wait a moment before adding more base makeup products and not do it immediately after applying the primer š„° Overall, the makeup lasted significantly better than without this primer, and the product gives a lovely glow, making the skin look hydrated. To test the best results, I wore the makeup for up to 14 hours, and it looked almost the same as when I applied it. I have combination skin, so regardless of makeup, I usually have to powder a couple of times during the day. With this primer, though, I noticed there was less oiliness than usual. Overall, my verdict is that I really liked the primer. The makeup stayed well, and my skin didnāt feel dry after a day, unlike with some other primers. I recommend this instead of the original green primer! āŗļø97 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5
HOW CAN THIS BE SO AFFORDABLE??
I've been using a grip primer from another brand for ages that does half the work and costs morešµ This feels like spreading honey on the skin but still didnāt feel heavy on the face. The description promises evening out the skin tone, presumably referring to niacinamide, but I havenāt noticed that at least with this use. It definitely gave a lovely glow! The foundation applied beautifully on top and I really felt how this primer gripped itš I like the packaging and the pump worked really well! The flat design fits nicely in the makeup bag. My skin didnāt react with breakouts either. I noticed a clear difference in makeup longevity right away when I started using this primer and Iām pretty sure it also controlled facial oiliness a bit more during the day than the other primers I have in useš This is going to be my go-to from now on!š #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics62 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5
Affordable!!
I had the honor from Lyko to test this primer as #lykotestpilot. This primer is very sticky, which makes the rest of the makeup set on the skin. Since it is so sticky, I find it easier to dab it into the skin instead of spreading it out. I think I see a big improvement when it comes to the longevity of my makeup, I work at a spa where itās warm and humid, but my makeup still lasts a full 8 hours when I use this primer! I love that the packaging has the combination of tube+pump, which makes it possible to get all the product out of the packaging when it starts to run out. In summary, I think the elf powergrip + 4% niacinamide primer is definitely worth its price and I will 100% buy it again when it runs out. Thank you Lyko for letting me test this and find a new favorite productš«¶ #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics66 views
