e.l.f. cosmetics Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide 20 ingredients
I would say that this is a budget friendly dupe for the Milk Hydro Grip Primer with the additional benefit of Niacinamide for extra brightening. I feel that this helps my makeup stay well in place without drying my under eye area. I'm also a fan of the dewy glow that comes after application.
Cleared up my skin immediately! My face feels very smooth and my makeup look flawless for my skin type😍
