  • Time for another bottle.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I do, but it’s become an everyday staple in my makeup routine. 💚 The biggest surprise? It’s actually not sticky. I was worried a “gripping” primer would leave my face feeling tacky, but this feels lightweight and smooth. My makeup goes on really nicely and stays put without feeling heavy. I also love that it doesn’t have an overpowering scent. If you’re sensitive to heavily fragranced products, this is a huge plus. The texture is really nice too. It’s hydrating without making my skin greasy. For the price, you seriously can’t beat it. It’s so affordable, and the bottle lasted me way longer than I expected because you only need a little bit each time. Pros: ✨ Affordable ✨ Lightweight, smooth texture ✨ Not sticky ✨ Very light scent ✨ Helps my makeup stay on all day ✨ Bottle lasts a long time Cons: Honestly…none for me! If I had to pick something, I’d just say make sure to let it sit for a minute before applying foundation. If you’ve been looking for a budget-friendly primer that actually works, this one is 100% worth trying. I’ll definitely be repurchasing! 💖 ... show more

  • One of my favorite Essence products!
For the price, this is such an amazing makeup primer! I especially love using it during the winter when my skin gets really dry and foundation can start looking flaky or uneven. This primer makes such a difference — my makeup applies much more smoothly and my skin feels hydrated underneath. I also use it during the summer, so it has definitely become a year-round product for me. I actually use it as my makeup base instead of a moisturizer, and it works perfectly for my skin. Such a great affordable product and honestly one of my favorites from Essence. Definitely recommend! ... show more

  • I cannot live without this stuff.
My skin is a veritable oil slick. If human oiliness could power cars or lubricate squeaky hinges, I honestly think I could supply enough for the entire world. Because of this, I am always on the lookout for a decent primer. And this one delivers. I use the essence Jelly Grip Hydrating Primer in tandem with a mattifying primer, and together they do a great job of holding my makeup in place. I haven't tried this one by itself, so I can't really speak to how well it controls oil on its own. Honestly, though, I bought it primarily because I wanted something that would grip my makeup and keep it from wandering off halfway through the day. It feels really cooling when you apply it, which is a nice bonus, and it doesn't smell horrendous like some primers I've encountered. I also feel like it makes my skin feel a little tighter and seems to blur my pores somewhat. Even better, I've noticed fewer breakouts since using it. I've been pairing it with MAC foundation, and so far, so good. My makeup blends easily over it, whether I'm applying foundation or concealer. I've also started dabbing a tiny bit on my eyelids over my regular eyeshadow primer, and that has been a pleasant surprise. My eyeshadow really grips, stays where I put it, and I've noticed less fallout ending up underneath my eyes. Because apparently my face was not already producing enough drama on its own. Overall, I have been really happy with this primer. It grips my makeup, feels nice going on, blends beautifully with everything I've put over it, and doesn't smell like a chemical accident. For someone whose face apparently believes it is an offshore drilling operation, that's a win. ... show more

  • Grip and hydrate
For the price it’s so worth it. Makes my makeup look way more smooth and sticks throughout the day

  • meh primer
I purchased this primer back in April, and finished it somewhat recently. This is my honest review on it! I’m someone who tends to get pretty oily/sweaty quickly, especially during the warmer months. I like to find a primer that sticks all my makeup to my face, without it separating or looking cakey by the end of the day. I can’t complain about the affordability of this primer, but I found that it wasn’t anything to be desired. I noticed that it had a stronger alcohol scent that gave me the ick towards the end of the bottle, which caused me to avoid using it. The longevity of my makeup when using the primer was meh.. it’s definitely not great, but definitely better than no primer. I also noticed that it really isn’t “sticky” it has a very thin viscosity, which in my experience causes it to be slightly tacky than sticky compared to similar primers. Due to the lack of grip, I noticed my makeup looking pretty gnarly by the end of the day, even when my skin wasn’t as oily or sweaty. All around it’s a very mediocre product, honestly i’d suggest spending the extra couple dollars and getting another primer! One more comment, I do typically love essence products, I swear by their waterproof mascara. However, this product just didn’t hit like the rest.. ... show more

  • Must have for skincare/makeup regimens. Smells great!
It’s affordable, and it is such a clean makeup product to use! It smells fresh, almost soapy clean, it’s lightly hydrating, meaning it plumps the skin and primes it for makeup without making it oily. It is amazing how it grips the product. I use it under foundation, even under tinted moisturizer and it grips the same. Works very well with powders as well. I find myself using two pumps an application for coverage of my face and neck. It’s wonderful! Selfie is to showcase the makeup after 5 hrs of wear/ no touch up, no filter. It works on filling pores ❤️❤️❤️ ... show more

  • Great dupe
This reminds me of the elf primer. For some reason elf irritates my skin, this one works just as well and I haven’t had any problems with it. It’s also, much more affordable
