Jelly Grip Eyeshadow Primer

Essence Site →Amazon →Ulta →SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Essence Jelly Grip Eyeshadow Primer has a tacky feel that works well for shimmer shadows, but its wear time is divisive. Juicyjas likes how cream shadows apply seamlessly over it, while Julie Dawn Beauty reports consistent creasing and poor longevity throughout the day. It may suit short wear or shimmer looks, but those needing all-day hold should look elsewhere.

MIXED / NEGATIVE
- “I feel like with the grippy eyeshadow primer, at least the other times that I've used it, I feel like my eyeshadows crease with it”
- “It looks really good when I first blend my eyeshadows on it, but I just don't feel like it keeps them lasting all day”

- “I've just decided that this Essence Jelly Grip, it's just not for me. Every time I use that Jelly Grip primer, it looks good when I first use it, but then as it wears, it doesn't wear well throughout the day”33:03–33:11
- “I don't really think this eyeshadow primer is very good”35:58–36:08
