NYX The Face Glue Gripping Primer provides a tacky base that some find effective for gripping makeup, but HotandFlashy reports it caused patchiness and flaking, making makeup look worse than without primer. Helga Mua notes it works well for those who like gripping primers but questions whether such a primer is necessary. Several creators agree the texture is not overly sticky, but the mixed results suggest it may not suit all skin types.
