- 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

- Q
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

Hydrating and soothing
When I tried this on at Ulta, I could not believe the feel of it! It felt like cool silk on the lips. I had been trying on drying lipstick and my lips had had it. The MAC professional told me to wait a minute while she got something that would help. I had never seen this product before nor heard...

Be careful when opening!
I was not incredibly overwhelmed by this product in the first few wears - it did help moisturize lips with products that were drying but still noticed some bleeding around the edges where had not noticed without. Was willing to try further since it was a new product but on only the fourth wear, ope...

Repeat Purchase
This product performs well. I would recommend applying a lip liner first and using the liner inside the lip liner with lipstick applied last.
I would purchase this product again.
Helps lipstick from spreading into lip lines.
Leaves lips moisturized and lipstick stays in place
I have dry skin and normally my lipstick cracks when I wear it. This primer moisturizes my lips and minimizes cracking. It leaves them buttery soft, and my lipstick doesn't budge. It feels like a lip treatment that just happens to help with lipstick.
Prep Must Have
I never use to prep my lips before applying lipstick. This has been a staple to keep my lipstick lasting and to also keep my lips moisturized.
DISAPOINTED
DID NOT WORK WELL FOR ME. GREASY FORMULA. LOVE MY LIPS TO BE HYDRATED BUT NOT GREASY. RETURNED AFTER A WEEK OF USE.
