This is where you can breathe a sigh of relief: you’re not the only one who realises their makeup is halfway down their faces in the middle of the day. Or at 11am, whatever.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll barely make it into the office before realising you have mascara stains on your chin – and this heatwave doesn’t exactly help.

While I’ve tried plenty of primers, setting sprays, and powders in my attempt to stop looking like the unfortunate tenth member of the Addams Family, most have been unsuccessful.

That is, until I discovered e.l.f. Power Grip. Made up of a selection of primers and setting sprays, the collection is designed to keep your makeup near-superglued to your face throughout the day.

Designed so that the two products work together, Power Grip is my secret to making my makeup last through even the hottest of summer days – and yes, it even keeps my winged eyeliner in place.

It’s totally affordable, and you can even choose a primer to match the finish you want to end up with – matte, glowy, or brightening, with the addition of niacinamide.

Regardless of what you’re doing this summer – whether it’s going to a wedding, festival, or simply making it into the office – I can say with utmost confidence that Power Grip is going to be your heatwave handbag hero. And I don’t say that lightly.
