Maybelline Grippy Serum 24H Gripping Primer

So I don’t usually do reviews on primers but this deserves a spot! I’ve used many primers from Mecca and Sephora that are usually a paste so this was the first serum style I used. I’m no makeup guru (I’m 32 and still do my makeup the same as I did… Read more

when I was 14 minus the panda eye eyeliner) but I’ve always had bad luck with oily skin causing my makeup to slide off. My makeup usually smudges, or I get the mascara rub off on my eyelids with or without primer so I’ve never really had much luck with having “nice makeup”. Yesterday I attended a funeral and on a whim bought this primer because ugly crying without makeup just shouldn’t be a look! Funerals are not usually a time to test and try a makeup look you’ve never worn before but LET ME TELL YOU! Through all the crying and tissue wiping, and hugging my eye makeup and foundation stuck to my face like baby poo on a blanket! It held up all day without sliding or smudging and I was absolutely blown away I was even giving a shout out to the primer during a speech! If you haven’t tried it and don’t have much luck normally or suffer from oily skin like I do, this is a winner! It’s a serum consistency so it goes on smoothly and dries abit sticky which gives you the best base for makeup. I’ve had a few primers that when I’ve gone in for a quick make up touch up have blotted my existing makeup off my face and left me patchy and needing to redo my whole face especially around my mouth area. This didn’t do any of that. It didn’t crack, leave dry patches or fade at all! I drank abit to much and made the mistake of sleeping in it but guess what? Woke up 9 hours late still looking fresh faced and the makeup didn’t move! Highly recommend! You can get it for such an affordable price from chemist warehouse which made my bank account happy and I didn’t wake up feeling I was going to break out because it has niacinamide in the product. Can’t honestly rave about this product enough!! Best thing I’ve ever stumbled on! Highly highly recommend!
