Use your fingertips to gently press a dime-sized amount over clean, moisturized skin. For best results, do not swipe. Follow with foundation and other makeup as normal. Pair with your favorite Cover FX foundation for full, long-lasting coverage.

Please refer to the ingredient list on the product package you receive for the most up-to-date list of ingredients.

Primer helps prep your skin for smooth makeup application and ensures your look stays put all day long.

Gripping Primer is formulated with pigment-locking molecules that quite literally "grab on" to your makeup to ensure long-lasting wear.

Gripping Primer has a unique, clear texture that some individuals may find "sticky" upon first use. Rest assured, this is normal. For best results and to prevent pilling, we strongly recommend you pat and press the product onto skin before applying your foundation as normal, rather than rubbing or swiping.

While CFX primers are hydrating, we don’t recommend using them in place of your daily moisturizer. Instead, apply primer to clean skin after moisturizing.

Gripping Primer is safe and ideal for dry skin, oily skin, sensitive skin, and dull skin.

Each primer is made to suit your individual skin needs. 

The Gripping Primer has a unique color-locking formula, the Blurring Primer smooths your skin, and the Invisible Primer SPF 30 provides sun protection with no white cast or flashback. 

Use your fingertips to gently press a dime-sized amount over clean, moisturized skin. For best results, our team strongly recommends you do not swipe or rub, but simply pat the formula onto skin.

We offer free shipping on U.S. orders $40+. While we're confident you'll love your Cover FX purchase, but in the event it does not meet your needs or simply isn't a match, you can return your products in any condition within 30 days of purchase, absolutely free.

    This product unfortunately made my skin too sticky even after applying makeup. It's not the feeling I want in the summer months.

    Love it!

    This is the best makeup primer I’ve used. I have use some very expensive brands but none kept my makeup on all day. But Gripping Primer does what it’s made to do. My makeup stays on all day!

    Terrible

    This primer feels sticky and “gripping” out of the bottle, and I’d prefer something that felt smooth, not tacky. And no matter how much I let it dry first, when I try to put foundation or a tinted sunscreen or anything on top, it binds up together causing a bunch of little balls of makeup all over my face and in my hairline.

    Thank you for your honest feedback about the Gripping Primer. We’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations and caused issues with your makeup application. If you prefer a smoother, less tacky primer, we recommend exploring alternatives like our Blurring Primer available on coverfx.com.
