Comments about MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder:
I have sensitive acne prone skin & although I am not sure if it's making me breakout more (been using for only 2 weeks) I am not impressed with how long it lasts. In the morning I apply & notice that I'm about 2-3 hours I feel as if I never put it on & My skin is crazy greasy again. I actually preferred my cheap drug store powder over this. I won't return it since I've used it too long but definitely will not purchase again.

Comments about MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder:
This was recommended by the sales associate as an alternate option for the product I orginally wanted, the Color Correct Primer with the tan pigment. The associate said it was the same product, just with a universal color. She was wrong. This product is for finishing, not priming, even though the packaging looks similar to the Color Correct. At first I was irritated, because when I went to do my routine, I discovered it was the wrong product. However, I decided to give it a try and used it as directed. I have very oily skin, sweat profusely, and it has been past 80 degrees lately. I have to say, my makeup did not run for the whole day. My face still looked relatively flawless after 8 hours. I am keeping it, and will go to another store asap to get the Color Correct. I am looking forward to seeing how the two work together.

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.

Comments about MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Loose Powder:
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.

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.

Q:
Does this powder cause flashback? Does it minimize the appearance of pores? Is it waterproof at all? (I'm not oily so much as I perspire a lot.)Asked on 10/22/2017 by KaraGibbyBeauty from US1 answer
A:
Excellent questions,Kara!
MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder applies completely invisibly on the skin and won't cause flashback in photography. It reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines and while not considered waterproof, it will minimize overall shine. Bonus: it can be reapplied as needed without adding additional texture.
