I 🤖 it
✨ First impression WOW! 🤩 I personally use Milk's primer, so this will be a comparison with this one. I must say that I am very impressed! I get the same nice grip effect with Elf even though they are in completely different price ranges. I also think that Elf actually dries myyyuch faster, which is always good, I usually don't have that much time nowadays when I do my makeup 😅 🤱 About me I have dry skin that leans towards sensitive. I usually choose base products that are moisturizing and give glow. The makeup usually sits fairly well, but by the afternoon I can get shiny in the t-zone. 🏅 My thoughts and experiences So impressed that the primer dries quickly 🙏🏻 I love the tube, it feels smooth, is easy to use, and you get the right amount out right away. The design is simple but nice. Feels nice and a bit cooling upon application, you can clearly feel the grip effect. A bit of a special sticky feeling, but then when you put on foundation, they blend so well! 🤗🤖 I definitely think this is a great dupe for Milk's primer, I will most likely buy this more times! ✨ I still got a bit shiny in the t-zone by the afternoon/evening, I get that with all the other primers I've tested too. And in comparison to how it is without primer, I think it does a fantastic job! 👌🏻 🍁 Summary ➕ 🌹 Love that it's a tube 🌹 Keeps the makeup sitting well 🌹 The primer dries quickly ➖ I have nothing negative to say, I 🤖 it ✨💖 5/5 💖✨ #lykoinflutester #elfTranslated from swedish

😢Nice makeup, tired face & pimples😬
Who has NOT heard and seen a lot about #ELFCosmetics today & through American influencers!? 🤩 So freaking excited about the FOURTH product I get to try as a #LykoInflutester!!! 🤩 I added this to my makeup routine every morning for a week 🤡 I wanted to love it, but.. This fragrance-free primer comes in a simple tube with a pump for easier control of the amount. The consistency is like a firm gel, in a light green tone that doesn’t look green on the face. 🤥 😢Weird consistency😬 I find it very hard to spread on my face due to its firm, stiff consistency. It felt more like trying to lay an even layer of brow gel/eyelash glue, it felt like my skin was being pulled and irritated.😬 I got a bit red in the face from it, but thankfully the redness faded after a while. 🤠 It remains tacky/sticky, something that might not be for everyone, but many think it helps makeup stick better and last longer throughout the day, which I must agree with. 😌 ‼️BUT.. Here’s the absolute biggest problem. I used this every morning for 7 days, and started getting pimples. Like real, deep ones, not just little spots. I first connected it to stress, which I’ve had quite a bit of. Suddenly it hit me; Primer. I stopped using it, and within 2 days there was a noticeable difference again. 😩💨👋🏻 I have combination skin, with an oilier T-zone, and a stable skincare routine. 🤡Summary🤡 ➕ Tacky ➕ Vegan & Cruelty-free ➖ Consistency like brow gel/eyelash glue ➖ Causes pimples‼️ Unfortunately, this doesn’t get daily use from me, both due to the pulling on my face from the eyelash glue consistency and the pimples I’m not in the mood for. 😅 Maybe an occasional use 🤷🏽♀️✨ ⭐️⭐️But still, the makeup sat really wellTranslated from swedish

How long?
Hi! How long does an unopened primer last? I think I bought mine about 1 year ago but haven't opened/used it yet.. has it gone bad?Translated from norwegian
178 views- Customer service at Lyko1 weekHi! 😊 An unopened e.l.f. Power Grip Primer has a shelf life of at least 30 months (2.5 years) from the production date, provided it is stored correctly – that is, cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight. After opening, it is recommended to use it within 6 months for best results. Since you bought it about a year ago and it is still unopened, it should be perfectly fine to use. When you open it, please check that the smell and consistency seem normal – it’s always wise to be a little extra cautious.

Disappointed
Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations! I thought it would be super considering all the hype — but my acne broke out and I didn't experience any particularly good wear with the makeup.Translated from swedish
159 views- Customer service at Lyko1 weekHey Kajsa! 🥰 It’s so different what suits us, so it was really a shame that there wasn’t a home run for you with this primer! Unfortunately, that’s how it is sometimes, even though many like a product, it doesn’t quite become a perfect match for oneself 🧡 If you want tips on another one that might suit you, you can email fraga@lyko.com 📧 Have a lovely day and I hope you find the one that suits you best ✨

Acne-friendly?
Hey! I've been wanting this primer for a long time but I've heard that people have gotten acne from it. As someone with eczema and acne-prone skin, is this a good choice after all?Translated from swedish
293 views- Customer service at Lyko2 weeksHey Ella 😊👋 This product is water-based, which makes it light in consistency and a gentle choice - even for acne-prone skin. At the same time, all skin types are unique, so what works great for one person can give another a completely different experience. Feel free to test it out calmly to see if this one becomes a match for your skin ✨ All the best!

I use cc cream from lumene that I've heard is silicone-based. I've also heard that this primer from elf is water-based. Can I use a water-based primer even though the cc cream is silicone-based?Translated from norwegian

Silicone based
It made my makeup crumble. I would guess it’s because it’s water-based and my makeup is silicone-based. Anyone can recommend a good primer that’s similar to this but silicone-based?Translated from swedish
279 views- Customer service at Lyko2 weeksHey Nova! It is of course possible to combine these if you wish, the most common reasons for it to crumble or roll, as they call it, are: 🌸 Let the primer dry properly, and by that we mean properly - count on at least 1-2 minutes! 🌸 The amount affects, maybe less is needed of both! 🌸 Apply your foundation in a "dabbing" motion! Good luck now❤

Enlarged pores??
The makeup lasts longer than usual, but I noticed that my pores became enlarged and more visible after using the product regularly for a month. Such a shame because I had read a lot of good things about it, but I won't buy it again.Translated from swedish
411 views- Customer service at Lyko4 weeksHey Filippa! 🥰 Sounds great that the makeup lasts longer! You’ve probably tried a few different techniques, but it can help if it gets to "set" properly before applying foundation and to dab it in with your fingertips and wait at least 30 seconds before the next step. If you want both grip and a pore-blurring effect, you can try spot-applying a smoothing primer over the pore areas – and use Power Grip on the rest of the face ✨ I hope you find it useful until it runs out, and that you have another favorite from before to fall back on. Have a nice day 💖
