PROS
✓Hydro Grip Primer ($38) uses a hemp-derived formula that creates tackiness to grip powder and foundation — a different mechanism than silicone-based primers
✓Vegan with no animal-derived ingredients confirmed across the entire product line
✓Stick-format products allow application without brushes — useful for on-the-go touch-ups
✓Blur + Set Powder ($36) is talc-free and diffuses light without a visible white cast
✓Hydro Grip Primer, the brand's flagship product, contains no synthetic fragrance — fragrance is the leading cause of contact dermatitis in cosmetics
✓Cruelty-free and vegan and made without parabens — three verified criteria at standard prestige pricing
CONS
✕Stick formats deliver less product volume per dollar than liquid or powder alternatives — the Jelly Highlighter stick contains 0.17 oz
✕Sephora-only retail presence means no in-store access at Ulta, Target, or department stores
✕The foundation and concealer range is smaller and less reviewed than competitors like Fenty or MAC
✕Blur + Set Powder ($36) costs more than comparable talc-free setting powders like e.l.f. Halo Glow Powder ($14)
✕The brand's aesthetic is urban and Gen-Z in identity — not suited to buyers who want a classic or professional look
