Ratings & Reviews

Here's what customers think
  • The MAC Prep + Prime Skin primer is widely praised for its ability to smooth the skin, create an even base for makeup, and help foundation last all day
  • Customers with dry, mature, and sensitive skin types particularly love how the primer leaves their skin feeling soft, hydrated, and glowing
  • The primer's ability to control oil and minimize the appearance of pores is also widely praised, especially by those with oily or combination skin
  • However, a few customers with very oily skin found it did not provide enough oil control
  • The primer's lightweight, non-greasy texture and subtle luminous finish are also positively noted, though a small number felt it was too shimmery

Don't Discontinue This

I hope this primer isn't being discontinued. I see it on the last chance page and it was sold out recently, now it's back but on sale. I bought this primer last year but just started really using it in my routine but ITS AMAZING!!! I have super oily skin, and it's summer so obviously I'm sweating and my car unfortunately has no AC right now.Not gonna stop me from wearing makeup...tuhhh. This primer is GOLD for helping keep my oil production down, and my makeup in tact ALL DAY LONG!! IDK what exactly is in this to keep me from being super oily but I'm sooo grateful. My oil is literally minimum now. I believe I saw someone say the shimmer particles in this help to reflect light AWAY from your face so That's a benefit to oil and shine. I love that. It feels like a moisturizer going on, but definitely dries down to a semi matte veil. Makeup definitely lasts longer on top. Please don't discontinue. I need this staple in my routine :)

The best primer ever!

I have been using this Mac primer for years. It is smooth and easy to apply so my tinted moisturizer goes on smoothly and evenly. A must for mature, 50+, skin! I have tried many others but consider this to be perfect.
