- Q
I bought this primer today in store and then went to the Mac website to see if I could find a little more information. I do not see this as being available on the Mac website. Is this product discontinued? If it is, what would I buy in its place? I would hate to fall in love with this primer, and I think I already am from wearing it in the store, not to be able to get it anymore or have an alternative available .
- Asked by What to get instead?
- Official Answer By MACThanks so much for reaching out! We can confirm that MAC Prep + Prime Skin was discontinued from the brand. You can contact your nearest Ulta for information on potential remaining stock of the product.

How did I live without this?
This is the first primer EVER that I've tried, so clearly, I have nothing to compare it to...But either way, I loved this product! My skin type is oily at the T-zone, but dry wherever I get pimples - usually on my lower cheeks by the jaw. I got this primer two days ago, and the SECOND I put it on I ...

I went to a MAC store last summer and purchased the studio fix foundation, the concealer, and this primer and everything was working well for a while. I ran out of primer and purchased more in January of this year and everything was still ok. I just purchased another bottle of primer about 2 weeks ...

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 :)

Great to start off your face and keep it moisturized while wearing makeup all day. Feels very clear and comfortable without letting your face getting the funky makeup feel.

I like this primer because it acts like a moisturizer and a primer. Smooth to put on and helps to apply makeup but most importantly helps to set it for HOURS! Definitely my go to at home and most importantly when I travel!
