MAC Prep+Prime Eye Review

 
Prep+Primer

I initially wanted to buy a primer 
From another brand
But it was out of stock
So instead I chose MAC



My shade

This is one of those products
Where you have to try your luck
Coz' it's either 
A miss or a hit
Love it or hate it
Sort of relationship 


Compact casing

The small pot
Could last for a very LONG time
As you only need a little dot 
Of this sheer and creamy prime  


Glittery lid

For attention detail whores like me
These tiny shimmers
Adds a little oomph!...
And a little glamour
To boring old covers




Sheer, creamy texture

Silicone based cream dries to a silky powder finish

It has a creamy consistency 
That has a tendency  
To crease immediately after 
Or during higher temperature
So just BLEND, BLEND, BLEND away
And everything will be okay

  


Eyeshadow
WITHOUT primer


WITH
Mac Primer
Color is more intense

Overall, I'm generally pleased with this product. It's still not HG material with the creasing issue. But it delivers in other aspects anyway and gave me decent results.

Points to Consider: 

1. It evened my lids well enough to prep it for the next step.
 
2. The pigments glided more easily on the silky texture of the cream.

3. It lasted the whole day on me (coz I'm basically confined in cooler areas).
 
4. I sometimes use this on my LIPS too as primer for my nude lippies...a PLUS!
 
5. But the main reason that I like this product is because of its ability to make the colors of my eyeshadows POP out and make it look more VIVID and vibrant!

I might repurchase...but knowing me I'll hook up with other brands first. And besides this pot could last me for ages. So i'll worry about that later! Ok that's it for now...Btw, I made this post kinda rhyme just for fun. He-he! Enjoy your day sweeties! See you all again soon:-)

*hmm* This looks like something I would purchase. I love how detailed you are with your reviews!

I haven't really found the right one for me so this is a prospective one!

Primer is definitely something I'm using more and more. My eye makeup especially is pretty kaput at the end of the day..with creases and lines. On a recent trip to Sephora I got a free sample of Benefit's Stay Don't Stray. I like it. It's a bit hard to tell weather it intensifies the color since I pretty much wear light colors on my lids, but it does help with the longer wear and less creasing.

Great review..perhaps I'll give MAC a try next :)

I've always wondered about these MAC Primers and how effective they are. Your review has just about convinced me to try it! Thanks!
