Grip Trip Hydrating + Plumping Primer

Grip Trip is Fenty Beauty's answer to the primer that either holds makeup or looks after skin, but never both. It grips your base for up to 12 hours while a swirled skincare side hydrates and visibly plumps underneath — and it does it without silicone.

What it actually does

• Holds your makeup down. Maple sap extract is the ingredient Fenty credits with locking the base in place, with wear quoted at up to 12 hours.
• Hydrates all day. Butterfly lavender extract handles the moisture side of the dual-action formula.
• Plumps visibly. Alongside hydration, visible plumping is part of what the brand says the skincare half delivers.
• Stands up to heat and sweat. The formula is built to resist both sweat and humidity — relevant if you are applying makeup in an Egyptian summer.
• Leaves no silicone slip. It is silicone-free yet still glides on, which matters if silicone primers tend to pill under your foundation.
• Creates the canvas. Fenty's framing is that this is the smooth, hydrated base the rest of your routine then sits on.

How to use

1. Use your fingers, not a brush. The brand's direction is to press the primer into the skin for the smoothest, most hydrated effect.
2. Start at the centre of the face and work outwards.
3. Go light. Fenty is explicit that a little goes a long way — over-applying is the usual reason a gripping primer turns tacky.
4. Then build your base on top as normal.

Questions

Why does it feel slightly sticky?

That is the grip working. A gripping primer is meant to give your foundation something to hold on to. Press it in, let it set for a moment, then apply your base.

Can I wear it without makeup?

It is designed as a prep step for makeup, but the hydrating and plumping side means some people wear it alone on a no-base day. Its purpose, though, is to hold a base.

Does it work in humidity?

Fenty states the formula resists both sweat and humidity, which is the main reason to pick a gripping primer over a hydrating-only one in a hot climate.
