Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder

Comments about MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder:

I use this product to prevent creasing under my eyes, on my eyelids, and on my smile lines. I have super dry skin so I was happy when this did not dry anything out more than it already is. This powder definitely eliminated any creasing and helped cover my pores.

I love this product! Works like a charm. First time buyer but will sure buy again and recomend. My makeup looked so smooth and silky. Only issue is the size, the container is pretty small and can get a bit messy.

Comments about MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder:

This is my go to finishing powder. I have super oily skin so I use this in my priming steps, I use it to bake, and I set my make up with it when I am finished. It does tend to be a bit messy but I rather use the loose powder over the compact.

Comments about MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder:

Very smooth application and it is controlling the shine very well.

Comments about MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder:

This powder works well to control shine, but it is very messy. I feel like I waste a lot of product each time I use it. I wish the container had an open/close mechanism like the powder for bare minerals.

Comments about MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder:

This is my favorite setting powder. I have oily / acne prone skin and this powder controls shine and does not irritate my skin. The price point is also a plus. I have purchased this powder multiple times.

Container is so small and difficult to use.
I waste a lot of product trying to get it out.
Otherwise it does what it promises.

I consider myself to be a brand buyer, well over 95% of my make-up table bears the MAC label, my deviations being mostly brush cleanser, moisturizer, and a few eye-liners and mascaras from those "oh darn, I'm out and won't be to a make-up counter/store in time" moments. I've been buying the brand for almost 12 years when I was introduced to the brand my freshman year of college, thank God for Sorority sisters!
During my 12 year love affair with MAC (and even prior buying drug store brands) I found that I dealt with an issue of makeup transfer onto my hands or fingers when I touched my face. I've always worn liquid foundation, and it seemed that no matter the type of coverage I used, the way I applied it (sponge, brush-including type of brush, even fingers) that darn transfer would occur and inevitably after touching my face and then my paper or books would have a shadow of my foundation color on it. So annoying! Many sales associates told me I needed to try something different for my coverage, but I loved my look and knew there had to be something else I could try. Cue the finishing powder. It can be a bit messy until you figure out how it works for you. The powder is loose in the bottom with a "grate" that you shake some of the powder through. I found it best to use like a Kabuki brush and shake off the excess and then buff into my skin. Then I just go on with my regular makeup and couldn't be happier.

I appreciate that it's dermatology and ophthalmology tested, and is safe for sensitive skin and eyes. But that flash-back is a deal-breaker.
