Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review of the MAC Prep + Prime Skin face primer.
As you can see I only have a sample of it but when I asked you 90% of you said you didn’t care and you wanted the review so here I am.
I have to say, this product snuck up on me, I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I do, it was a sample MAC send with a recent purchase and I started using it to take pictures and not waste my beloved Clarins Sos Primer Blurs Imperfections.
In fact, for the past almost two years nothing has been nearly as good as that one. It’s actually the perfect primer, in my opinion, and nothing compares so I was kind of surprised that I liked this one.
You can get it here for 33$.
PACKAGING
Having the sample, I can’t say much of my packaging but I like the original one.
It’s pretty, I appreciate the pump as it disperses the right amount of product and it’s super hygienic.
EFFECT & TEXTURE
This primer feels like a cream, it doesn’t feel like a silicone product.
It makes my skin super smooth and even. The best way to describe it is velvety, it makes your skin matt but not flat or dry, doesn’t grab to dry patches and it fills in pores and fine lines.
APPLICATION
The best way to apply it is by dabbing it on with your fingers.

LASTING POWER
It definitely makes my foundation last all day and it doesn’t break it apart. It doesn’t claim to be mattifying so I still have to blot my face but that means that it will work for different skin types.
RATINGS:
- Effect: 8/10
- Longevity: 10/10
- Application: 9/10
- Formula: 8/10
- Packaging: 9/10
GRADE: A
I love this primer. After using it my skin looks smooth, velvety and even. I think the only thing is missing from the Clarins one, is that one is tinted which makes it perfect to wear on its own. The lasting power is fantastic, my face makeup stays in place all day long and I don’t have to worry about it.

I have always loved MAC products. It looks like a great primer! But you do have amazing skin… 🙂
I use MAC, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried this product.
You’ll love it!
I feel like MAC still has so many solid products, but for whatever reason, people seem so critical of the brand now. I was excited to read about how much you loved this!
I genuinely love them, going there and buying staff is even more exciting than Sephora to me. Plus one of my closest friend is a MUA so she has 40% everything which is rather nice ahaha
This makes me want to try a primer now!
I love it!
I have to try this. I try all of the primers I get in my subscription boxes but can’t find anything I absolutely LOVE. I’m eager to try this primer!
It’s such a good one ?
I’ll have to keep this in mind as I haven’t found a primer that I really love that much!
This is awesome
