- 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

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...

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.
Great Prime Lip Primer
This lip primer is great, keeps my lips smooth for my lipstick. It's a bit pricey for very little product but it does the job.
Useless purchase
I was told to apply this before using my lipstick. I needed to wait a little until it got sticky on my lips and then apply lipstick and it would hold. It never got sticky and my lipstick disappeared much faster than before I used the product. Waste of money.
A daily staple
I use this every morning after using a gentle sugar scrub for lips. It is lightweight but moisturizing.
