The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, e.l.f.'s Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray is the most divisive pick in this roundup, but it earns a place on the strength of price and finish. A high-trust r/MakeupAddiction comment in the candidate data prefers the natural finish over both fully dewy and fully matte options, and buzzfeed.com (in the signals) frames the wider Power Grip line as a sub-$10 alternative to Milk Makeup's hydrogrip products. Ulta and Amazon verified-purchase reviewers describe a shockingly fine mist and a glowy, hydrated finish.
What reviewers liked
- Lowest-priced pick in the roundup with strong retailer-review volume
- Hyaluronic-acid-based bi-phase formula appeals to those wanting hydration
- r/MakeupAddiction high-trust comment singles out the natural finish positively
- Often compared in coverage and reviews to pricier hydrogrip primers
Where it falls short
- Multiple r/drugstoreMUA threads report sticky, shiny results with overuse
- Some dry-skin reviewers paradoxically find it drying despite hyaluronic acid marketing
- r/drugstoreMUA users disagree on whether the mist is fine enough to actually 'grip' makeup
- Less consistent wear-time praise than the Urban Decay or Charlotte Tilbury formulas

The negative consensus is real and worth surfacing. Multiple r/drugstoreMUA threads call out a tendency to leave skin sticky and shiny if overused, and one user with normal-to-dry skin found it 'crazy drying' despite the hyaluronic-acid marketing. Another r/drugstoreMUA user felt the mist was too fine to actually grip makeup. The price makes it an easy, low-stakes try, but it is not a universal winner.
- Major Makeup Grip
- The shockingly fine mist sets your makeup for long-lasting wear while leaving the skin with a hydrated and dewy finish.
- Shake Up Your Routine
- Featuring a water-based phase and an oil-based phase, the bi-phase, non-sticky formula has the power of both phases for dewy, long-lasting makeup looks.
- Infused With Aloe
- The Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray formula is boosted with hydrating 5% aloe juice plus hyaluronic acid, squalane & green tea seed oil.
- Shake To Activate
- Shake to activate the bi-phase formula. Mist over the face from 6” away, keeping eyes and lips closed. Setting spray can be applied pre-makeup to prep skin or post-makeup to set.
- Skin-Loving Ingredients
- All e.l.f. products are made from skin-loving ingredients you want, minus the toxins you don’t—all at good-for-you prices. All e.l.f. products are 100% cruelty-free and vegan.
I think it's really easy to overuse. Today was the first day I went lighter on it and had no real issues. But previously it made me so shiny and sticky looking.
I like the natural finish too, dewy makes me look oily and matte can look flat and dull.
