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!

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 is probably my favorite eye shadow base ever! Combined with the fact that it lasts 18+ months, it also has tremendous value. I recommend using a tiny bit even with just mascara to keep your eyelids matte/satin
Best eyeshadow primer
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at
I have tried many eyeshadow primers to keep my eyeshadow from creasing and moving due to my slightly oily eyelids. I already have fair skin so I don't need something to brighten underneath my eyeshadow but I do need it to stick well and not budge after I've blended it. This primer has worked very well for me and I've had it for over two years! The tube is only half full and I still have plenty of use. I would definitely recommend this over other brands because it will last so much longer and in the end save you so much money! I used to be obsessed with the Fenty eyeshadow primer, but this one is overall so much better. Buy this and you won't be disappointed! 10/10
A must have for bold colors

I have tried soooo many eyeshadow primers and this is easily the best. I don't see any creasing when using this, blending is a dream, and it only takes the smallest amount of product to work so this will last me so long!
No
The Mac rep was at Ulta. I ask for help and the girl took me immediately over to Mac rep. Matched me to a couple things and opened drawers and was out but then tried to give me another color. I said don't do that! She ordered the primer and it's not for me. I think it's old. It's clumps on me and will not smooth on. Never buying anything Mac again.
