- Q
Is this formula sort of matte? I dont like it when im using a matte lipstick and it makes it shiny.
- Asked by Missy
- Official Answer By MACWe're glad you asked! MAC Prep + Prime Lip is hydrating and will leave a shine on the lips as it goes to work in priming, smoothing and hydrating. We always recommend letting this lipstick primer sit in your lips for a few minutes and blotting off completely with a tissue before you go to apply your matte lipstick. This primer pairs so well with all of our matte formulas including Matte, Powder Kiss and our new Locked Kiss Ink 24 Hour Lipstick!Was this answer helpful to you

Is this safe to use on the eyelids as a base for sparkly shadow? Similar to the pat McGrath intensifEYES stick? I know it is a lip primer but wondering if it is safe to use near eye area as well.
- Asked by Linz
- Official Answer By MACOur apologies that we are not able to recommend MAC Prep + Prime Lip Primer as a base on your eyes. We'd love for you to consider MAC Prep + Prime 24-hour Extend Eye Base as a great base for sparkly shadow! This helps to prolong the wear of eye makeup by 24 hours, keeping your makeup colour true and sweat-resistant. Apply all over eyelid. Allow to dry for a minute before the application of your eye makeup!Was this answer helpful to you

Anti-slip mat for your lips
Oh, I do so LOVE this product! This was introduced to me by a MAC artist when I was in-store looking for a matte red lipstick. I'm not usually someone who does much with her lips. A bit of gloss here, some cremesheen there, nothing fancy. Having said that, looking for siren red lipstick for a "new ...

Terrible.
I first purchased this primer over two years ago and after losing it, bought it again two months ago. When I first purchased it I noticed that my lips were getting chapped to the point that if I didn't wear lipstick my lips looked terrible, but I didn't think it was due to the primer. Fast forward t...

Okay for this allergy-prone wearer
So far, Prep+Prime Lip Primer is my favorite primer. I have an auto-immune disorder and cannot wear most products. I am prone to bad contact allergies that will last 10 days at a time, and this is one product that I can wear. If I get it beyond my lips, my skin will react, but if I keep it where it's supposed to be, I'm fine. It does not have a fragrance and works better than Anastasia in terms of eliminating that ugly feathering that women of a certain age experience. It's a good product!
a must have
This makes my lipstick go on way more smoothly than using a regular lip balm underneath. It helps it stay on longer, without creasing, caking or getting patchy. It's not dry like another brand I've tried. I used it with any brand of lipstick not just MAC.
Always a Must!

I love the way this pairs so well with every M•A•C lipstick! The way it applies the look & longevity of any M•A•C lipstick I always have to be stocked up. I'm always recommending friends & family to use this product.
