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...

This is my must have even when I'm not wearing lip gloss. This and my lip conditioner by MAC are my forever must haves. Take care of my lips daily. Don't know how one could be disappointed ever with this product.

I bought a lip primer for myself and loved it from the first time I used it! My lipstick goes on more smoothly and stays on longer. Just the primer alone feels like a soft and protective balm. This Christmas I gave one to my Mom with a Mac lipstick. Later that night when she got home she checked with a magnifying glass and her lipstick still wasn't feathering!! Best Christmas presents ever!!
this is a must have

Comments about Prep + Prime Lip Primer Base - 0.050 oz
i really didn't expect much of a difference with or without the primer and oh i was so wrong. this primer feels like nothing but somehow makes liners and lipsticks last forever. i recommend having one in your purse for lip kits!!
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.

- 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

Would this make the lipstick or lip glass appear more vibrant on my dark lips?
- Asked by Jazz
- Official Answer By MACGreat question! MAC Prep + Prime Lip Primer is a colour-free lipstick base that adds light moisture and smooths the lips, it does not colour correct lips.
