Makes lipstick last

The secret to making this work is to let it dry a minute to let it get tacky and then apply the lipstick or liner...it will last longer for sure...

Nice texture

I always use this before applying lipcolor. It helps to keep my gloss from moving around and also keeps it looking more even, rather than moving into the outer corners it wears more evenly through the day.

Smooth liperator

I like using MAC Prep+Prime Lip right before I put on lipstick. It makes the application feel and look smoother.

Really good

this works pretty good, i had always wanted my lips to look plain just like they do in the pictures of models...and now i got it...this works even better if you put the lip conditioner first and then the primer let it dry and put you lipstick or gloss on..

Smooth Lips

I loved this product. It really does smooth out your lips and allows your lipstick to go on even and smooth. Lips feel soft and light. I did not see a change in color or how long my lipstick color last.

MAC Prep + Prime Lip - So & So.

The Prep + Prime is used to smooth, refine and enhance your lipstick. It is used as a base under lipstick. Pro's: It made my lips smooth and it felt super light (compared to chapstick). If you want, you can use this as a base, then use a lip liner and color your lips in.. if you want that matte lipstick look. I usually add a slab of clear gloss right after. Con's: It really didn't enhance my...read more lipstick. My lipstick started to fade in less than an hour. The color quality was the same even if I didn't use the Prep + Prime.

M.A.C. Prep+Prime Lip - just ok

First let me say that I LOVE M.A.C. products, so I never hesitate to take the advice of their reps at the counter, but this one disappointed me. I was thinking about purchasing a lipstick that didn't have much staying power, so the M.A.C. rep suggested that Prep+Prime would make the lipstick stay on longer. I did not find that the be the case. In fact I think it diluted the color of the lipstick. It does make my lips feel nice and soft, but it did not make the lipstick stay on longer.
