What skin types does Hydro Grip Primer work best for?
This hydrating face primer works for all skin types, but we especially recommend Hydro Grip Primer for normal to dry skin. Check out our primer quiz to find out which of our best primers is right for you, and head to our blog to learn everything you need to know about silicone-free primers.
Is Hydro Grip Primer safe for sensitive/acne prone skin or those with skin conditions (like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis)?
Hydro Grip Primer is suitable for sensitive skin. However, we always suggest doing a patch test on your arm to make sure it works with your skin before applying on your face.
How should I wear Hydro Grip Primer for best results?
You can wear Hydro Grip Primer under any type of face makeup, or alone as a skincare step for hydration and a dewy glow. Make sure you give the formula one minute to activate before layering makeup on top. Head to our blog for tips on how long to wait between moisturizer and primer and why you shouldn't wear face primer on your eyes.
How long will face primer keep my makeup looking fresh?
Hydro Grip Primer keeps your makeup locked on for up to 12 hours, so one application has you covered from morning to night.
Can I use this with Hydro Grip Eye Primer and Hydro Grip Set + Refresh Spray?
Def! Start by applying a thin layer of Hydro Grip Eye Primer on your lids and under your eyes before putting on eyeshadow and concealer. Then apply Hydro Grip Primer all over your face, except for where you already did your eyes. Let it set for 60 seconds, then layer makeup on top. Finally, once your makeup is done, set your look with Hydro Grip Set + Refresh Spray to lock in your look all day long.
Does Hydro Grip Primer formula contain niacinamide?
Yes, this product contains niacinamide, or vitamin B3. If you have a known allergy to niacinamide, or suspect you may be allergic, please perform a patch test on the forearm or neck area and let sit for at least 12 hours before using this product.
How do I prevent my Hydro Grip Primer from pilling?
To get the most out of Hydro Grip Primer, make sure your skincare is fully absorbed before you start your makeup routine. Then apply a thin layer of product over your skin. 1-2 pumps only—any more can cause it to pill! We recommend starting with one pump first, then add more if needed. Allow your primer dry down for 60 seconds before layering makeup on top, and try using a sponge to press in makeup instead of rubbing. If you’re still having issues, contact us at hello@milkmakeup.com and we’ll help you out.
