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...

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 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.

Prep And Prime

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
<3 Kristen

Prep + Prime... anyone have reviews?

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

Has anyone bought and tried it?

Does it work with oily skin?

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.

Although my foundation goes on smoother, my skin gets oilier than normal after a few hours
But I adore the eye primer! Great stuff!

I personally love Prep+Prime Skin but I don't have oily skin. I love the way it makes my foundation glide right on. I wrote a review for it in the review section. I think it's worth it!

Prep + Prime Lip / Face / Eye - What do you think?

I am totally late on this prep+prime stuff, but they are intriguing -- wondering how you guys like them, specifically lip and face.

What exactly does the lip on do? Prolong color wear? Does it help to keep the color from migrating? Anything would be helpful, as the reviews were not...

Thanks!

lash: it took too laong for me to let it dry, i know I don't have time for that in the morning
lip: I don't really know, because I had a lipstick over it that I hated, so I whiped it right off
face: OMG! this stuf is amazing!!! It obviously has some silicone in it, because it supersmoothes my skin. it makes my foundation stay put longer than ever before, I cannot live without this anymore!

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!

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....
