Beauty lovers want grippy primers that stay put and lock makeup in place for long wear, and Maybelline New York is putting the power of its Grippy Serum Primer to the test in NYC, using the product like glue to hold up poster ads. The immersive campaign features hot-pink posters across Williamsburg, the East Village and SoHo that say: "This poster was pasted up with Grippy Serum Primer" and "How grippy is it? You're looking at it."
Maybelline's Grippy Serum Primer has a formula designed to hold makeup for up to 24 hours, plus provide plumping, hydrating benefits without pilling, greasiness or leaving a white cast.
These posters are just the first part of a broader, three-part Grippy takeover set to roll out across New York City.
