MAC Prep + Prime Skin Review

This was my first ever primer I bought and I haven't found one as good since. I haven't tried another high end primer though as they are just too expensive for me, so have to stick with drugstore now.

I use 1 pump for my entire face. It glides on like a dream, moisturising and smoothing. My skin feels like velvet after application and makes my foundation apply flawlessly.

It helps my foundation last longer which is one of the main reasons I buy a primer (I do not like to powder my face at all).

I only have two complaints. 1. The price. It is sooo expensive I have never bought it again even though I loved it! 2. Although I like the look of the sleek packaging, the bottle is not see through so you cant tell how much you have left.

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 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.

when i first put this on my skin my face looked like a disco ball, it was very shimmery and i was scared it would stay like that but no! after putting my foundation and powder on i had a lovely healthy glow to my skin! it feels so hydrating and makes my foundation easy to apply and not patchy. if you have oily skin, only use a wee bit on targeted areas like your cheekbones for a under highlight as it could make your skin look super oily.

I've tried many primers ranging from $10-$70 and this is the best primer I have ever used. Priming the skin is a must, if you think about it your face is like a canvas, and before painting a canvas you need to prepare it before you start painting away.

It comes in a pump bottle and one pump is the perfect amount to apply to your whole face and jawline. The formula is thick and creamy, once you apply this to your skin it leaves an oil free dewy finish. After that you can use powder or liquid foundation it's very versatile.

It makes my skin feel smoother and applying foundation after priming my face is a much easier task. It also makes the foundation stick to my skin easier and it doesn't make the foundation soak into the skin.

I've recommended this primer to many family and friends and they love this, maybe even more than I do, it's worth the money and lasts you a long time.

I love this. The price here in New Zealand is a bit pricey (so I get mine from the USA using Youshop), however for the price you pay, and the length of time it lasts, you definitely get value for money.

I typically find that 1 - 2 pumps of this product is enough for complete coverage of my face. I like the way it seeps in quickly and how it helps to apply my foundation.

I would also say that I am confident that this product definitely helps with the longevity of my foundation.

I recently purchased another brand of primer however unfortunately for me, it wasn't as good as the prep and prime...as soon as this primer has run out, I will definitely be repurchasing this one

I purchased this after being a user of Napoleon Auto Pilot and found this product lovely. A little goes a long way and it kept my foundation even for the whole day.

It is an expensive primer in NZ but I do feel you get what you pay for!

Honestly this is the first primer I have ever used and it was given to me by my sister. I have been using it for about 4 months and on the odd occassion I have forgotten to put it on before my fondation I have really noticed the difference in the texture of my face and how my foundation sits on my face. I use foundation every week day for work and with the prep′ it leave a silky/satiny feel to my skin and a sligh glitter look. My foundation just glides on. I use Eclat Satin by Christian Dior and it's a dewy finish fondation and the prep′ makes it last all day looking amazing. I have even had people comment that I'm glowing, with one person saying that I'm sparkling. You don't need to use a lot, and by this I mean only one pump will cover your face as it spread really well. It doesn't have a scent that I've noticed. I have the one for normal skin. I also put it on my eye area and it keeps my eye makeup in place all day especially when I use powder eye shadow. I have thought about trying other primers but really love how this one makes me look and feel. I will definitly be buying it again when it runs out. I've checked the price at the MAC store in Auckland central and it is pricy but it lasts ages and really does make a difference to my make up look.

My first and one and only primer! I am a MAC addict so of course couldn't wait to try this out. I have had the same 30ml pottle for coming up 9 months now and am just about to run out..a little goes a long way! I only use one pump most days with more dryer skin days needing 2 pumps. Makes my studio sculpt foundation nice and dewy and stay put all day long

This is my all time number 1 primer. Its was love at first use.

I have tried many other primers from all different brands and all different prices, and this one really dose stand out. The price is ok compared to other primer/ pretty much is the same to other Middle end make up brands that I have used. To me I don't have a problem pay $56 as it dose seem to last me a very long time as a little will get you a long way.

The packaging is very sleek and I find it quite pretty as it has flecks of glitter mixed in with the Black. The primer is very easy to carry around or pack if you are travelling.

I use one pump or half a pump which will cover my whole face and it will give it a good enough cover all over. The Primer itself is a nice medium texture (not thick or runny) and it is very easy to apply over your face. The primer itself has very fine glitter specs into, which gives its a nice light shimmer (nothing crazy tho! So it will not show up under your foundation) The primer is very hydrating and makes your foundation go on very smooth, Once you have use this you will understand what im talking about :)
