Now, E.l.f Cosmetics have swooped in to 'dupe' one of Milk Makeup's most popular products with their Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray.

Leaving buyers with a "fresh, dewy finish" without leaving a sticky residue, E.l.f's Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray is taking the beauty world by storm at only £10 on Amazon and Boots - that's half the price of the original product, Hydrogrip, by Milk Makeup.

E.l.f's Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray is a bi-phase setting spray featuring a makeup-gripping water phase and a moisturising oil phase - you just need to shake to activate.

Even better, the formula is boosted with 5% aloe as well as hyaluronic acid, squalane and green tea seed oil, keeping your skin naturally hydrated as well as setting your makeup in place.

The spray's "shockingly fine" mist lightly coats the face in the gripping formula without a sticky feel, and like rest of E.l.f's products, it's vegan and cruelty free to boot.

E.l.f fans on Twitter have called Power Grip: "100% a dupe for the Milk setting spray." Adding: "Dry skin girlies ur gonna love this one !!!"

Customers on Amazon have loved the E.l.f dupe, with some going as far as saying: "This is better than the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray by miles. This with the get a grip is flawless."

E.l.f also offer a matching Power Grip Primer for extra makeup security, which can be also be found in boots, or at 5 percent off on Amazon.

If you're not used to the dewy look however, some buyers have warned that the Power Grip Setting Spray fails to dry on the face, with one buyer commenting: "This makes a great face primer, but as for a setting spray it makes my makeup stay wet, doesn’t set it at all. I know its supposed to be dewy which it definitely is, but my makeup starts sliding off my face after a couple of hours."
