- Q
I just left Ulta. The Mac artist used this on me and gave me a sample to try at home because every primer I've ever tried gives me cystic acne. This is silicon free so I have high hopes! I didn't know there were two colors. I'm pink and blotchy and she mentioned the yellow would tone down my pink, and the sample looks yellowish. Could this be right? I'm pretty light skinned and pink blotchy with a neutral base. Is yellow the way to go?

- Q
I noticed in a prior answered questioned it was stated that the pink is for fair/light skin tones and the yellow is for medium/dark. I have a light skin tone but I have yellow undertones. my first instinct was that I would purchase this in the yellow obviously because of my undertones. Then I read the answer to one of the questions and now I'm not quite Sure?
- Asked by bee
- Official Answer By MACWe're glad to help, and apologize for any confusion! Either shade of MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance will suit your complexion, as the tint and luminescence of this primer is quite subtle. With your fair skin type and yellow undertones, the Radiant Yellow will suit you just as well as the Radiant Pink. Was this answer helpful to you

Comments about Radiant Pink
I already had the yellow and loved it so I decided to purchase the pink. I like it just as much as the yellow. This is an excellent primer that makes my skin smooth which allows my foundation and makeup to blend nicely without any patches or flakiness. It also brightens my skin. I wear it under makeup or on its own.

Comments about Radiant Yellow
I have light to medium neutral olive skin tone. I was concerned that the yellow primer would make my skin look too yellow, but it has a nice brightening base under my foundation. If I want a more matte finish I use the studio powder over it. I am satisfied with this product.
