3 Grippy Primers You Need for Your Longest-Lasting Base Yet

Elevate your skin prep with this one multitasking, makeup-gripping essential—we’ve got all the recommendations you need.

As it turns out, being tacky isn’t necessarily a bad thing! If you’ve been looking for a way to extend your makeup wear far and beyond the norm, we’ve got just the thing. Grippy primers are the latest innovation to hit the makeup space, and it’s one we can definitely get behind.

This unique type of primer offers the same benefits you know and love—hydration, mattifying properties, and oil control—but features one key difference in its finish. Rather than settling down into a smooth, velvety veil, the finish is made to grip onto the rest of your routine. Essentially, this “sticky” finish helps your primer adhere to whatever product follows, whether it’s liquid, cream, or powder. With this finish, the primer helps to keep your beauty beat looking flawless for far longer. Sound good? Ahead, find our picks for the best grippy makeup primers to shop in Malaysia:

 

Fenty Beauty Grip Trip Primer, RM203

Fenty’s latest launch is the Grip Trip Primer, a supercharged, dual-action, and skincare-swirled formulation that keeps your makeup in place for up to 12 hours. It comes in two formulations to suit any skin type: Hydrating and Mattifying + Blurring.

Both silicone-free primers resist sweat and humidity, powered by makeup-locking maple sap extract. The difference is that the hydrating primer is infused with butterfly lavender extract to provide all-day hydration and plumping, while the mattifying and blurring formulation uses chia seed extract to mattify and blur the skin without drying it out.

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer, RM195

This is the icon that kicked off the trend, and it has remained a cult-favourite for good reason! Powered by blue agave extract, the primer forms an invisible layer over the skin that grips makeup for all-day hold. All it takes is one minute for the primer to fully absorb and activate its full-grip effect. 

The blend of plant-derived seed extract, aloe water, hyaluronic acid, sweet cherry, and vitamins B3 and B5 also deeply hydrates the skin and leaves a glass-like finish, while the slight green tint counters redness across all skin tones.

One/Size Secure The Glow Tacky Hydrating Primer, RM175

This serum-like hydrating primer is formulated with advanced capsulated technology and a unique B.O.B.A Complex to boost radiance and hydration, protect the skin, and help your beauty beat go on smooth. It dries with a ‘base tack’ that grips your foundation onto your skin for longer-lasting wear—just pump it onto the skin, break the capsules to blend the formulation and follow up with your favourite foundation.

TIP: It’s best for those with more dry to combination skin types who are looking for a more natural, radiant glow that lasts all day.
