Our take on the Hydro Grip Hydrating Primer

Hydro Grip is a hydrating face primer built on hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, made to hold makeup for up to 12 hours while keeping skin from caking, fading or creasing. It has a tacky grip finish that helps foundation and concealer stay put, which is why it is a favorite for long days and events. It suits dry to normal skin and anyone who wants a dewy, hydrated base. Rivals like gripping primers from drugstore and prestige brands cost less or mattify more, but few combine hydration and hold this well. Reviewers rate it highly, with 4.6 out of 5 from over 3,000 ratings.
