MAC Prep + Prime Skin Review

I have tried a couple of primers, and I have another one on the way to try soon! However the MAC Prep and Prime is definitely my favourite, the slight illumination provided is really handy when you aren't a pro at highlighting.

I often wear the primer with just a light layer of powder foundation over the top when I am in a rush, or not wanting to wear much make up due to either running out of time to put it on or general laziness. It makes the product stay beautifully and is great for evening out skin tone even though it isn't a true 'colour correcting' primer.

It is quite expensive, however 1-1.5 pumps provides ample coverage and if you know you are going to use it regularly then you can pick it up in the occasional sale.

I absolutely adore this wee primer, I ordered the 30ml bottle from America about 6 months ago and I use it almost every day and it's still going strong! - the pump dispenser is absolutely awesome and pumps the perfect amount every time! I like to apply this on top of my moisturiser and give it a bit of time to sink in. I always apply it with my hands (I don't know why I just like to) it gives my skin a beautiful smooth appearance and makes foundation application a breeze, I find it works well with oil free and matte foundations and also gives an amazing base for Boyne cheap and high end foundations. I definitely recommend this primer and will be repurchasing myself.

I love MAC products. The first brand that really caters to all skin tones. Naturally trusting the brand already I brought this prep+prime. It's a bit pricey. I use it only for outings. It definitly does what it's supposed to do and "keeps your face on" when your out & about. due to the price I don't think I would purchase it again as I've found other primers more in my price range doing the same thing.

For the price you pay, I would expect a great primer that holds make up all day. As a flight attendant I'm constantly projecting n image and half on half off make up isn't the image I want to project. It worked well up to a point and then I feel like I'm constantly having to touch up, which I rarely have time for on flights. I prefer E.L.F. for satin finish and how amazing it makes my skin look.

I don't usually buy Mac makeup as I find it to be a bit pricey for me but I just went on a trip to South Africa and went a bit nuts at the Mac store there! This prep and prime leaves your skin feeling so nice and makes foundation application a breeze!! It really does make your face stay on all day!

I don't own my own mac prep and prime face but my friend does and every time i get ready with her I feel as if its a a step I can't miss out. I feel as if My foundation just has a more flawless finish and looks a lot better after using this product. Need to get on to buying my own, if anyone knows a cheaper version (dupe) of this please recommend i find that mac products can be overpriced but I guess you have to pay money if you want good products.

Smooths skin amazingly, allowing for foundation to glide on over the primed skin effortlessly. Small glitter specks in the primer make for a glowy foundation look. It is a little pricey for the amount so I tend to use it more on special occasions or nights out rather then everyday.

I bought this from glambot a online makeup site that sells authentic cosmetics as I had heard so much about this Mac product,glambot is abit cheaper than the $50 Mac wants in stores,I placed it on my clean face before my foundation,I let it sit for 20 min,I placed my foundation on and see no real difference in the way my foundation sits,or lasts on my face,I have given it 2 weeks,and I really would rather have a elf or Maybelline primer as with this Mac product I am still on the fence with it

When I recently did a MAC order they offered me a free sample and I chose this. Having not tried any of MACs primers, I wasn't too sure what to expect. Because it was free I wasn't too worried if I didn't like it.

This has no scent and is a thick white cream. Once you blend it into your skin you can see small reflects - not glitter but little sparkles. At first I was massively put off by this... Until I applied foundation over the top of it.

Once my foundation was on, this made my face look radiant and healthy. The shimmers aren't really apparent - they add more of a glow than a shimmer once you have foundation over the top of this. If you don't like a glow then I wouldn't recommend this. However, if you're like me and are all about Dewey skin then I recommend you try it.

Because the cream is thick it is really hydrating and feels soothing on my dry skin. This helps make my makeup last longer and, more importantly, go on smoother. It also helps reduce the redness in my skin a little bit.

Overall I really like this primer and will be purchasing a full size when I am in the States later this year. A little goes a really long way so even though it's pricey, I think it's worth it.

I thought all primers were the same until I tried this one and OMGOSH the results were amazing. Most primers feel greasy but not this one it just sits nicely. My makeup looks amazing after using this it gives me a nice smooth surface even with impurities and help my makeup last for as long as possible. Only downfall is the price and because I use this under every makeup application so It doesn't last long and for the price you would expect it to. But if you feel like a treat try this. As they say you wont know until you try.
