REVLON ColorStay GRIP Matte Face Primer — 1 fl oz, Mattifying Oil-Absorbing Blur for Pores & 16-Hour Makeup Hold

Revlon ColorStay GRIP Matte Primer is a lightweight, mattifying face primer that absorbs oil, blurs pores and helps makeup stay fresh for up to 16 hours.

This buildable primer creates a smooth, non-tacky base so foundation and powder adhere better and appear more even throughout the day. Formulated with a Superfood Detox Blend of citrus, aloe and broccoli extracts, it helps defend skin against environmental stressors like pollution and blue light while controlling shine. The non-drying texture works for a wide range of skin types and is free from added parabens, phthalates and mineral oil.

How does this primer keep makeup looking matte all day?

The primer uses oil-absorbing ingredients and a blurring finish that reduces visible shine and refines texture, helping makeup cling to the skin rather than sliding off. Revlon reports wear for up to 16 hours when used as a base under foundation.

• Matter-control formula absorbs excess sebum for a matte appearance
• Lightweight, non-greasy feel that layers under foundation
• Buildable coverage to suit different skin and makeup routines
• Helps foundation stay put and reduces midday touch-ups

Will this primer reduce the look of pores and imperfections?

The texture and pigments in the primer blur unevenness and minimize the look of pores, creating a smoother canvas for makeup. While results vary by skin type and application, it visibly softens texture and refines the complexion for photographed and everyday wear.

• Blurring particles soften fine lines and pores
• Creates a smoother surface for seamless foundation application
• Non-tacky finish avoids emphasizing texture in flash photography

What is the Superfood Detox Blend and why does it matter?

The primer is enriched with a blend of citrus, aloe and broccoli extracts designed to deliver antioxidant benefits. These ingredients help neutralize free radicals from pollution and electronic screens, providing a protective complement to the primer’s oil-control properties.

• Citrus extract offers antioxidant support and a fresh feel
• Aloe soothes and keeps the formula comfortable on skin
• Broccoli extract contributes additional antioxidant protection
• Helps defend against environmental aggressors without heaviness

How should I use Revlon ColorStay GRIP Matte Primer in my routine?

Apply a small amount to clean, moisturized skin before foundation or tinted moisturizer. Focus on areas that get shiny or show texture, then let the primer set for a minute before layering color products.

• Use sparingly on the T-zone and cheeks where needed
• Allow a brief dry-down for best makeup adherence
• Reapply lightly over makeup only if necessary for touch-ups
• Works well under liquid, cream, or powder foundations

Who is this for: Revlon ColorStay GRIP Matte Primer is ideal for anyone seeking longer-lasting, shine-free makeup—especially those with combination to oily skin or people who want a smoother base for makeup photos. It’s also a good choice for users who prefer lightweight, non-sticky primers and ingredients that help protect against daily environmental stressors. If you need heavy correction or medicated skincare, pair the primer with your targeted treatments under or over it as advised by your skincare routine.
