Doesn't last more than 5 hrs
I used to get Urban Decay Primer for my eyelids and decided to try M.A.C. I use many of their other products so I was sure this would be just as awesome and it was not. I put it on with a brush and clean fingers and by lunch it's already creased and the makeup I had on my bottom lid will be gone and...

This has been a staple in my makeup routine for the last 6 years. I have oily skin, especially on my eyelids, and this completely prevents my eyeshadow from creasing and my mascara and liner from transferring. I know there are other good eye base products out there, but this one is so good I can't bring myself to try any others. Makes my eye makeup last all day!
The best eye primer ever
100%, hands-down, the BEST eye primer I've ever tried. It lasts all day, doesn't crease, and a little goes a long way.
It's decent but I expected better
Morphe stopped making eye primer in a tube that was fabulous and affordable, and I dont like their new potted version so I tried this. I wanted primer in a tube that I apply with my finger as opposed to applying with a wand - I feel like you get more usable product. I like the feel of the product. It doesn't pill or irritate my eyelids. It works well with HIGH quality eye shadows - buttery powder shadows and shadow sticks. With these, it holds all day and does not crease. Lower quality powder shadows don't last into the afternoon. I expected better performance given the price point. I will not buy again.

I have oily skin & have probably tried every eye primer made. UD makes my eyes burn now, so I decided to try this. I will never buy another kind of eye primer again. This stuff is absolutely amazing & one tube lasts me months!
Good So Far :)

A little goes a long way. First time using it and definitely noticed how much it helped with amplifying my colored eyeliner.

I have very oily and hyper-sensitive eyes, is this primer hypoallergenic and/or good/safe for hypersensitive eyes?
- Asked by CherryPie

- Q
Can I use face powder over it before applying eye makeup? Will that make it last longer?
- Asked by Angie
- Official Answer By MACYes, you can absolutely apply face powder over Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base before your eye makeup. It will create a softer, more diffused look and help smooth the lid for blending. That said, setting with face powder may slightly reduce the long-wear grip of the base. If you notice your shadow isn’t lasting as long, try applying your powder eyeshadow directly onto the unset base instead - powder adheres best to the slightly tacky texture, which helps lock everything in place for maximum longevity. You can experiment to see which finish and wear time you prefer!Was this answer helpful to you

I need a primer that does not "grab" and make my lids look patchy and crepey. I've tried everything! I used paint pots years ago but they started to look dried out on my skin. I really want a primer with a light cream MATTE shade to disguise pinkish/purple discoloration but it just doesn't exist. Help?
- Asked by CLAR
- Official Answer By MACThank you for reaching out! We want you to achieve your desired results and are here to help. We hope you'll reconsider Pro Longwear Paint Pot in the shade Painterly (a matte, nude beige) to disguise pink/purple discoloration and achieve smooth, long-wear. It's a slightly different formula than we had years ago and feels lightweight like silk, it's texture-proof. We also want to be sure that you have all the tips and tricks to ensure a smooth, creamy application and invite you to chat with us!
