Mac Prep + Prime Natural Radiance - #Radiant Yellow 50ml

Before this product, I'd always put my make-up on after my skincare. The make-up would wear off pretty soon, but not anymore with this primer! After my skincare, I use a tiny bit, and it holds my make-up the entire day and without smudging. Especially my eyeshadows stay in place (works also very well with blending multiple eye shadows) and the colours pop more.

BEST EVERRRRR

42 year old who has tried MANY primers throughout my makeup journey…tried them all and NOTHING is better than this primer. I have been using this for about 15 years. If you know makeup then you know that you need moisturizer before foundation and this here is IT!** FYI- I have NEVER in my life left a review. **

Can't live without!

I truly can't live without this mac primer. I usually keep my beauty regamine a secret but I'm afraid of yet another product i love being discontinued so therefore i must share..I use the radiant pink only & it hands down is so silky smooth soft & has a non greasy buttery feeling! Not to mention the best part it magically gives you this beautiful subtle healthy glow..(no joke) also my eyeshadow actually glides on again like it did when i was in my 20's. Shadow in your 50s just sits there but not w/this. I even add it to my dry lips before any lip color or lip oil. Guess what my 30 year old daughter tried my mac primer the other day & says mom i need this. Thank You M.A.C. you have done it yet again!!!

Glad I spent the extra money

It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it when applied with the Mac foundation. My skin is dry and this primer adds the perfect amount of moisture before becoming too oily. Keeps my foundation looking great all day and I hardly have to touch up. I apply with a flat brush and a little goes a long way.

Great everyday primer!

Bought a week ago and have been using with smash box 24 hr hydra foundation. Using the morphe setting spray to finish.I have found these products excellent for my extremely dry skin! Typically foundations cause dry patches to appear on my face throughout the day or cause breakouts.I find my skin looks a healthy radiance given the primer gives a bit of a shine but foundation is matte. Goes together as a nice middle ground.Also does well to keep my makeup on my face all day at work at survives the gym after work!Just FYI to beginner makeup users like me who didn’t know the difference between the base ingredients in products… you need to match the base ingredients of primer with foundations otherwise they will clash. I had a Mecca staff member direct me on this ... MoreBought a week ago and have been using with smash box 24 hr hydra foundation.

Love this primer!

Been using this primer for a few years now. First tried it in person at a store at the recommendation of an employee. The yellow tint really helps hide any redness or pink in my skin tone. Plus the primer is great texture and makes foundation go on some much better. I've been reordering this for years now - love it!

Made my makeup look cakey

I received a sample of this primer in a past order, and my experience is very different from other reviewers. The first time I used it I thought the smell and texture were nice enough, although I didn't feel super moisturized. I used only a small amount and thought my makeup looked uncharacteristically cakey. I chalked it up to my skin being dry., even though I had moisturized and didn't feel super dry. The next day, I used this product more generously and then applied foundation. My foundation settled into every line and pores and looked horrible. I tried to blend it out and it pilled up on my face and started rolling off. My blending brush was full of chunks of foundation. I blamed myself, thinking I must have used too much product and didn't let it dry down ... MoreI received a sample of this primer in a past order, and my experience is very different from other reviewers.

I blamed myself, thinking I must have used too much product and didn't let it dry down enough. So on the third day, I used less product. Similar result. My foundation settled into and clung to every pore and line and looked incredibly cakey and didn't blend well. During this time I also felt like some of the thinner skin around my eyes was super dry. I think this stuff actually dried me out in addition to ruining my foundation 3 days in a row. The next day, I used a different primer, and any issues with my foundation were instantly solved. I'm glad this worked well for some people, especially at this price, but it does not work with my foundation or skin.

Primer

Its tint light pink. moisturizer + highlighter +primer =mac prep + prime…. Looking so natural pink and shiny not oily after wash not easily removed long lasting, quality is superb, really it is luxe perfect primer for all type of skin specially dry skin got it Nykaa pink Friday sale with two gifts, lipstick and mini primer, lipstick is just wow and primer is also superb. So happy. Thanks nykaa

Undecided

Well. Love the ingredients. As primer spray is easier to absorb. For some reason when applied foundation after this cream it clumped. Don't understand what I did wrong. Is it my fault of incorrectly using it or something is wrong with cream. For this reason didn't give it 5 stars. But would recommend cause of ingredients and luminosity. Price bites. But reordered with goal to master it. Hopefully after long time if using I'll master application. Maybe first container was expired. There is no expiration date on it unfortunately.

the best of the best - test of time!

I have been using this for YEARS under my makeup. It was actually my very first primer. Because I am an obsessed makeup addict, of course I had to buy over 50 high-end primers over the last couple of years, just to make sure it couldn't get better than this. I am here to say that it cannot. Don't waste your money on other primers.I went to reorder this last week but accidentally ordered the other pink primer (cheaper one). It is confusing as they are both makeup bases in same looking bottle and called pink. When I got the incorrect bottle in the mail I tried it on my hand. Then I held my hand to the window and was shocked to see the other version has massive amounts of glitter in the primer. That is the LAST thing I need for my aging face. Glitter... would look ... MoreI have been using this for YEARS under my makeup. It was actually my very first primer.

Glitter... would look like I don't realize my own age. lol.SO THIS primer is the one. It does illuminate but without any glitter. It is a toned-down illumination but enough to fade my imperfections before foundation even hits. Often times, I just wear this alone and it makes my skin look so much more radiant and healthy.I hope they never stop making this as there is truly nothing and I mean NOTHING that i have found to be comparable. I used this when I was younger and it even still works for my skin that's starting to age. Just like that...yesterday I was 25...today I am 49. Thank goodness for having some help along the way with fine products like this one.Just for reference, I have combination skin (can really get oily), fine lines and face skin starting to sag, light/medium skintone, redness and sun spots forming on forehead, big pores. This helps with all of these things.
