There's better
I don't dislike MAC's primer, I just think that it was only "okay". It feels nice and goes on well but It doesn't keep my make-up looking as fresh as long as Smashbox's Photo Finish or L'Oreal's Studio Fix.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

A bit oily
I love MAC's Prep + Prime line of products, but this primer was a bit too oily.. It does have a nice feel to it, but it causes too much slip and its hard to blend foundation. It had a bit too much slip. For dryer skin types, this would probably work best. It does give a nice shine but for my skin, it didnt work so well.. For the price, I would rather use the Smashbox or MUD primers.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

Didn't do anything for me
I don't know why, but I have never found a primer that agreed with my skin. This feels silky and soft, and I like the luminescence, but it did NOTHING to help my makeup stay longer/look better. Sorry, but that's all I have to say about it. Sad :(This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 8 people said helpful

A bit oily
This primer is an okay substitute when you don't want to shell out $40 for a Smashbox primer. It makes your makeup glide on easier, but in terms of reapplying during the day and controlling oil, Smashbox is a bit better. I don't however like that it leaves a whitish cast on my face. Also, the bits of micro-glitter in this primer is gross. I suppose it's supposed to make your skin look glowy, but a...read morell it manages to do is get accentuate dry skin and get caught in that nook on the corners of my noise. Pass!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

One Of The Best Primers On The Market!
This primer makes your makeup last all day and stay fresher looking as well, without hardly any touchips. It has no odor to it, and it makes the skin feel smoother with it on than without!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Really like, not love
I really liked this primer, it made my skin really soft and my foundation last, but wouldn't buy it again. It's one of the nicer ones in my opinion, but there are primers like ELF that are $6 that do just as good of a job.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Did not work for me
I tried this after reading all the positive reviews, this product did not live up to the hype as far as I am concerned. The product is thin, and seem to leave a sheen. I have oily skin with large pores and I need a product that keeps the oil and bay, and can hide my large pores and this product did not perform. I do think, however it did brighten my face a little. But I cant wait to finish it up so I can add it to my other MAC empty products to get the free lip color.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Even though I'm a MAC junkie...
I buy almost everything MAC. I just don't find this works! Made my skin oily and my make up slide off. For a better option, I would try Smashbox Photo Finish primer. It makes my pores disappear and my skin look flawless even before any make up application. A 100% better option.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Avoid at all costs if you have oily skin
I've been trying different primers out for a while now to control my oily skin and this has been, by far, the worst. My makeup lasted all of maybe 2 hours before my face looked like it was covered in baby oil. I had my doubts even while putting it on because has a texture more like a moisturizer than a primer. My makeup did go on smoothly, but the oiliness was just too much and I removed all of my makeup after 3 hours of blotting and powdering. Thank goodness this was a free sample.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Never go without it
I never put on makeup without using MAC primer first. It goes on smoothly and allows me to blend my concealer easily. It keeps my makeup in place pretty well for most of the day, but I live in Thailand, so it would be nearly impossible for any primer to keep my makeup from sliding completely.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
