Infused with hyaluronic acid, this is an ultra-hydrating, sticky primer that ensures your makeup looks flawless all day.
The translucent finish also provides a healthy, dewy glow, perfect for all your summer fun, from the office, to your holiday to music festivals.

A face primer can be the hardest working product in your makeup bag this summer. Where setting spray acts as a 'topcoat', that essentially locks makeup into place for all-day wear, a primer acts as a perfecting base layer that aims to smooth the skin, while acting like a glue that makeup sticks to.
For an affordable and highly-recommended primer for editors and shoppers alike is the e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip range.
Providing a gripping base that ensures your makeup looks flawless all day long, it's been widely praised for its sticky formula that helps makeup last all day whilst being super smooth and hydrating on the skin.
