i think they're permies... i haven't heard good things about them tho.. i have friends who live in the UK (it's already released there) and all of them who have tried the lip, eye and face primers say they're worthless.. one friend said the face primer made her skin look flat and dull even when she put her powder on top.. apparently the face primer has some sort of pearl/shimmer in it... another said the eye primer was a waste of money and that ud primer potion is WAAAAYY better..her eyeshdaow creased within a few hours after using it.. supposedly the eye primer is just to prepare your lids to make it smooth.. not to prevent creasing.. for that i'll get everything done with a swish of primer potion... i'm kinda disappointed cos i was reaallly looking forward for these to come out. i'll still get some samples to try it tho just so i can see 4 myself...

I'm kinda disappointed right now...after a hot summer day your e/s is more in the crease than everywhere else!

Prep and Prime is out already in the UK and let me tell you your not missing much. The only one worth trying is the lip primer and having said that I prefere Duwop Reverse liner as it does the same thing.

I have the lip one. I tried it the other day and I didn't notice much difference. How are you using it?

Thanks!

I have the lip one and haven't noticed a difference, either.

i found the eye primer at a cco a couple weekends ago and it gave me a tiny but more staying power but my e/s just kind of creased itself into oblivion, anyway. kind of disappointing.

I've heard a few girls on lj talk about how much they like the Face Prep and Prime, and i think i need that, because my makeup tends to come off and such..
But I was wondering what you guys think of the Lash Prep and Prime... I have DiorShow, and it does a good job, but i'm still not fully satisfied (i go crazy when i see clumpy mascara)...

Also, i haven't seen it at my counter, do you have to go to the Freestanding stores or something?

Thanks In Advance

I was wondering if the Prep + Prime skin was worth its money?

Has anyone bought and tried it?

Does it work with oily skin?

Endit · 08-22-2005, 04:23 PM #12 (**permalink**)

I believe the product is supposed to work with all skin types.

pinkmilk · 08-22-2005, 06:27 PM #13 (**permalink**)

Has anyone tried it and proves that i desperetly need to buy it?

Product reviews are in the Reviews section of the forums. There are Prep + Prime reviews in the MAC Reviews.

MA used this and the eye primer on me yesterday at my Naturally Eccentric makeover. She applied the oil control lotion on my t-zone followed by the new face primer all over. It worked great. I have combo skin that's more oily right now during the summer months. Was also impressed with the eye primer. Kept my eye makeup looking good all day. Ended up buying both of these products. MA told me to make sure to use a very light coat and they'll work better. She had it on herself and her face looked great.

I got a sample of this (for skin) and have used it a few times... its like a light lotion with really really fine white/silvery-ish shimmer that really isnt noticeable at all once its on your face. As for performance, I didnt really feel it did anything at all. my foundation didnt go on smoother, look better, or last longer. I was looking for a substitute for smashbox photo finish (which broke me out), but this stuff doesnt compare performance wise enough for me to find out wether it does too.
