This makeup primer helps my makeup grip well. Though, I gave the product 4 stars because it’s pretty thick on the face. I like a thinner solution that’s lightweight. This feels a bit heavy and tight. Maybe that’s what it’s supposed to do but either way, it doesn’t fit my preference in a primer.

I really love this primer when doing my full face makeup ! It does exactly what it’s intended to do & some of the best primer I’ve used . I’ve had it in my cart for quite some time as an item I wanted to try & I was finally able to try it when it went on sale & I wasn’t disappointed ! I had gotten the eye primer & loved it, so I figured the makeup primer was probably just as good ! It is comparable to Elf Power Grip Primer which is my usual primer, but like I said, I got this on sale & had been wanting to try it, so I did . I probably wouldn’t purchase it again unless it was on sale since it is expensive at full price, but if money isn’t an issue then I’d say it’s 100% worth it ! But if you’re looking for a more affordable option, of course the OG Elf Power Grip is the way to go ! I am including pictures of my makeup I did using the Milk Primer for reference 😊

I have been using the Milk Hydro Grip Primer for years and recently picked up another one when I saw an Amazon Prime Black Friday deal that was slightly cheaper than Sephora’s sale. This primer contains hyaluronic acid, which makes it very hydrating and comfortable on the skin. I have sensitive skin and have never experienced irritation or breakouts from this product.
One thing worth noting is that the primer feels quite tacky when first applied. While this may not be everyone’s preference, I actually appreciate it because my foundation adheres extremely well and lasts longer throughout the day. Once powder is applied, the sticky feeling completely goes away, so it is not an ongoing issue.
This primer is on the pricier side, but for me it is worth it since it consistently performs well and works with my sensitive skin. A small amount goes a long way, which helps justify the cost.
Overall, this is a dependable, hydrating primer that delivers excellent makeup grip, and I will continue to repurchase it.

It absorbs so nicely into the skin and I saw an instant difference in my make compared to using elf matte gel primer and brightening also shein dupe. It diffinitely makes your make apply better so flawless and I love it

I'm a fan of the FLOWERKNOWS Little Angel Dewy Hydrating primer. This was recommended as a dupe for it. I don't think it's the same to be honest, but this is still a good primer. It makes my makeup application very smooth and look better. The size is BIG though, you will be using this for a long time and it's not very travel friendly FYI. I'm still on the hunt for a good dupe of my fave primer but I may just break down and purchase it specifically at this point lol.

Love this primer! I've been struggling to find a good primer as a 36year old with combo skin. It's been awhile since I've felt like a primer actually made my makeup last till the end of the day. This one does the job!

This product provided exactly what it promised. I don't wear full face makeup often because I have sensitive skin, but as I've aged, the lines are developing and I needed something to help smooth out the foundation application. I was able to wear my makeup for 8 hours and still have it look fresh when I removed it. It also seemed to enable easier makeup removal as well. My face was far less irritated and red when I washed my face.

I don't typically use primers so looking for a good one was a challenge. This was recommended and I'm so glad I tried it! It does it's work well, hydrating my skin along the way. My makeup stays put until I take it off, no more disappearing on me by lunch. It is sticky but that's the the point, your make up sticks to it. It does dry. I use a little powder and a setting spray and never have a problem with sticky skin.

I am loving this primer! I'm in my 40's and was dealing with my foundation making me look older. I've tried other primers without much improvement. I watched some videos from professional makeup artists over 40 and this primer was recommended, so I decided to give it a try. I'm so thrilled to have discovered this primer. It's not cheap, but I was spending even more on Il Makiage primer, which was not helping me out much. I'm now using a combo of the Milk primer with the Il Makiage Woke Up Like This foundation, and it's a game changer. It gives me a much more natural looking and hydrated looking finish!

I’ve never used a primer before but this really helps my makeup stay smooth throughout the day. It initially has a smell not bad just a smell but it goes away immediately.

This product starts to get tacky as you apply it. I think it does well as a grip primer. My biggest issue with the Milk hydro grip primer is that it has a horrid smell. It’s really bad and not something you want to smell on your face. The smell does go away after the product completely dries.

Milk primer gives my skin a youthful hydrated look (not always an easy task at 45). It can feel a bit sticky at first, but that subsides as it dries. I do recommend giving it some drying time before applying makeup. I’ve tried many primers and keep coming back to this one.

First, let me say I love the Milk brand product line. You can be confident knowing that you are applying products that are made with clean ingredients. I particularly love this hydro grip primer. My makeup easily wears for 12 to 18 hours without needing touch-ups. The primer does go on tacky as it is a gel, but that is the way it's meant to be. You can still easily apply your foundation over the primer. I put on moisturizer, then this primer, then foundation. I would highly recommend this primer and highly recommend this brand.

Cult classic for a reason. I have sensitive skin, and milk primer works for me. It works under most my foundations, and helps make the make up stay. If I use the wrong the wrong primer, my face will separate. This primer lasts!
