MAC Prep + Prime Skin Reviews

A bit oily
I love MAC's Prep + Prime line of products, but this primer was a bit too oily.. It does have a nice feel to it, but it causes too much slip and its hard to blend foundation. It had a bit too much slip. For dryer skin types, this would probably work best. It does give a nice shine but for my skin, it didnt work so well.. For the price, I would rather use the Smashbox or MUD primers. — 1 year, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Didn't do anything for me
I don't know why, but I have never found a primer that agreed with my skin. This feels silky and soft, and I like the luminescence, but it did NOTHING to help my makeup stay longer/look better. Sorry, but that's all I have to say about it. Sad :( — 3 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

A bit oily
This primer is an okay substitute when you don't want to shell out $40 for a Smashbox primer. It makes your makeup glide on easier, but in terms of reapplying during the day and controlling oil, Smashbox is a bit better. I don't however like that it leaves a whitish cast on my face. Also, the bits of micro-glitter in this primer is gross. I suppose it's supposed to make your skin look glowy, but all it manages to do is get accentuate dry skin and get caught in that nook on the corners of my noise.

One Of The Best Primers On The Market!
This primer makes your makeup last all day and stay fresher looking as well, without hardly any touchips. It has no odor to it, and it makes the skin feel smoother with it on than without! — 5 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

There's better
I don't dislike MAC's primer, I just think that it was only "okay". It feels nice and goes on well but It doesn't keep my make-up looking as fresh as long as Smashbox's Photo Finish or L'Oreal's Studio Fix. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Did not work for me
I tried this after reading all the positive reviews, this product did not live up to the hype as far as I am concerned. The product is thin, and seem to leave a sheen. I have oily skin with large pores and I need a product that keeps the oil and bay, and can hide my large pores and this product did not perform. I do think, however it did brighten my face a little. But I cant wait to finish it up so I can add it to my other MAC empty products to get the free lip color. — 4 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Even though I'm a MAC junkie...
I buy almost everything MAC. I just don't find this works! Made my skin oily and my make up slide off. For a better option, I would try Smashbox Photo Finish primer. It makes my pores disappear and my skin look flawless even before any make up application. A 100% better option. — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

its okay
i went to mac and asked them for a primer for people with oily skin and they gave me this. i tried it and honestly, its alright. just alright. its not the best primer i used and definitely not the worst. its mediocre. it also has a little bit of glitter in it. some people may not like the shine to their face, some might. but honestly when i put my mac studio fix foundation on, i dont even see the glitter anymore. — 2 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Primer? Joke.
I'm going to be blunt: I had high hopes for this primer because I love Mad, but this is silly. I didn't find it helped my makeup stay on longer at all, and noticed no difference except to my wallet. In my personal opinion, skip it or try something else. I can't even say it has any negative aspects to it because that would assume I noticed anything about it in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, this is a shimmery lotion-y substance in a pretty sparkely bottle and that's about it. — 11 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
