Prep and prime lip is divine. I am very much a gloss or lustre lipstick gal and it really gives them staying power(esp in combo with filling in with lip liner)--I can apply at 7:30, have a snack and water and still have good lipcolor. My lip color also seems to wear off more evenly as well if that makes sense. I do have to reapply at lunch, but 5 hours is pretty darn good. Haven't tried to the other P&P.

agreed, the prep and prime face is a miracle product, unlike many other makeup silicone-based primers, it doesn't leave the face sticky. the finish is powder perfect, i think like a baby's bottom!

fabulous!

i love prep and prime skin. Ii wear whenever I do makeup on myself and clients. I also love wearing it alone too when i dont wear makeup....
 
You have to get P+P lip, it's actually the best product MAC have ever made! It de-reddens my quite rosy lips so with a bit of Moistureblend foundation on top, lipsticks go on really true. It also stops the dreaded feathering at the edges, which is great of you wear a lot of reds or dark colours like me!

I tried the Prep & Prime Face and it felt fantastic but I did break out from it. So sad

liek PD's lip illusion, prep and prime lip is a product to be put all over the lip as well as over the edges. It does make color go on more evenly, and it does prevent color migration, the feel of it though....well, I can feel it and it bothers me. For those who normally wear a lot of goopier lip products this will not be a problem and will be beneficial to wearing lipgloss that tends to slide around. I'm on the fence about this, does have the same slippery type feeling as the face primer, smoothers I suppose....

They work great!

The primers are absolutely worth it!

The face primer goes on with a small shimmer, acts like a silicon, and reallly helps your foundation and powder stay on longer. Plus, it doesn't take much to cover the face, and you can put it on before your moisturizer (if you have oily skin you really don't need a moisturizer with it.)

The eye primer is good if you aren't into the paints (although those are an essential if you want your makeup to look good, but I know some people have problems with the paints.) The primer reduces the red in the eye and also helps the shadow stay on longer.

The lip primer is the BEST! I use before liner, after liner, and after my lipstick right before I put the gloss on. My lips don't fade for hours, if then.

The lash primer is good if you use pro-lash, pro-long lash, and mascara X. Zoomlash works so good as is, it really doesn't need a primer, but some people have lashes that don't stick to the mascara, so the primer is great for acting as a magnet for the mascara.

All these work, and aren't as expensive as other lines.

Prep and Prime eye- opinions?

Hola sweeties

,
As much as I love my UD primer potion, I find that it is hard to blend my eye shadows well.
Has anyone tried prep and prime eye?
If so how was it to use etc.

Also what colour for a NW20 skin?

I did do a search and could only find prep/prime face and lashed opinions. Hope this is in the right place.

I have to agree with I am disappointed with the eye primer.
I used for the first time today and it creased and made my color vanish. Such a bummer too because I really want something that is more skin tone and less like drying or rather dry looking.

i would recommend mac bare canvas, great for blending, but i am very tempting by the UD primer potion

I really don't like the MAC paints

They seem very dry..or atleast on me & I have dry skin so that could be it. It also could be the fact that I have a dark shade of the neautral paint so it dulls some of my eyeshadows a bit

*shrugs* I think with this paycheck I will try to hunt down a good eye base. PLUS bare minerals

I ended up getting Sublime nature paint, as Bare canvas is too pale on me. Thanx for the opinions ladies, and also for being brutally honest and saving me pennies

Chelsea, thank God you said that. I thought I was the only one who didn't like prep and prime for eyes. It made my eyeshadow crease too, and I don't normally have that problem, since I usually use paints.

The prep and prime feels nice, but it didn't do anything for my eyeshadow. My sweet MA tried to talk me into it to use under lustres, but I'll take my chances with the CCB before prep and prime.
