The perfect primer is almost as tricky to find as the perfect foundation. Do you go tinted? Is a white cream going to make you look paler? What about one for oily skin? MAC Prep + Prime Skin (£21.00) comes pretty close to meeting every criteria.
It’s a silky non-sticky lotion that’s neither too pale nor tinted. It works as a skincare product to calm and soothe, as well as blotting away any excess oil. It evens out skins colour and texture without feeling like an extra cosmetic layer. Whilst it makes your foundation or tinted moisturiser look pretty flawless, MAC Prep + Prime Skin gives your complexion such a fresh and radiant look that you might be tempted to do away with a base all together.
It doesn’t dry out skin, or clog it up. This primer is beautifully balanced and one of our new essentials.
