NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP The Face Glue Gripping Primer

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP The Face Glue is a hydrating, gripping makeup primer that locks foundation, powder, and blush in place for up to 24 hours without a sticky feel.

This lightweight primer combines intense moisture with a tacky-but-comfortable finish to extend makeup wear while keeping skin breathable and soft-focus. Formulated with polyglutamic acid for hydration and maple syrup extract for extra grip, it’s non-comedogenic, vegan, and cruelty-free. The texture spreads easily under complexion products and aims to minimize transfer without leaving a white cast.

How does The Face Glue improve makeup longevity?

The primer creates a slightly adhesive base that helps pigments and powders adhere to skin longer. Instead of feeling sticky, the finish is breathable and velvety, reducing migration and fading over the day.

• Provides up to 24 hours of improved adhesion for foundation and powders
• Maple syrup extract adds natural grip to hold color in place
• Soft-focus finish reduces visible texture and keeps makeup set
• Non-comedogenic formula avoids clogging pores while extending wear

Will this primer hydrate my skin without being greasy?

Yes — polyglutamic acid delivers long-lasting moisture without heaviness, so skin feels quenched but not oily. The formula absorbs comfortably and leaves a refined surface for makeup application.

• Deep hydration from polyglutamic acid for up to 24 hours
• Breathable texture that won’t weigh down skin
• Works under liquid, cream, and powder products
• Suitable for sensitive skin types due to gentle ingredients

How do I use The Face Glue for best results?

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, moisturized skin and smooth evenly across the face where you plan to wear makeup. Let it sit briefly for its grip to activate, then layer foundation, concealer, or powder as usual for improved hold and reduced transfer.

• Use sparingly — a little spreads far to avoid tackiness
• Allow a few seconds to set before applying foundation
• Reapply under powder or cream products for extra adhesion
• Pair with NYX face products for coordinated finish and coverage

Is The Face Glue vegan and cruelty-free, and is it pore-safe?

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP markets this primer as vegan and PETA-recognized cruelty-free. The product is formulated to be non-comedogenic, designed to reduce the chance of pore congestion when used as directed.

• Vegan-friendly formulation with no animal-derived ingredients
• Cruelty-free certification recognized by PETA
• Non-comedogenic to help minimize breakouts and clogged pores
• Suitable for many skin types, including sensitive skin

Who is this for? The Face Glue is ideal for anyone who needs their complexion products to stay put — busy professionals, performers, photographers, or daily makeup wearers seeking long-lasting coverage without a sticky texture. It’s especially useful for people who want both hydration and strong grip from a single primer, and for those preferring vegan, cruelty-free cosmetics that work under a variety of bases and finishes.
