Hey guys! I’ve been on a mission to figure out which Mac Primer is the best for different skin types. It all started when I noticed that my makeup wasn’t lasting as long as I wanted it to, and I thought a primer might be the answer.
I first did some research online, looking at reviews and recommendations from other makeup lovers. I made a list of the top primers that were supposed to be great for different skin types – oily, dry, combination, and sensitive.
Then, I headed to the makeup store. I walked up and down the aisles, checking out all the Mac primers on the shelves. I picked up each one, read the labels, and even smelled a few (don’t judge, it’s part of the process!).
I started with my own skin type, which is combination. I got a sample of the Mac Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone. I applied it on one side of my face, following the instructions on the package. It went on smoothly, kind of like a light lotion. I waited for it to dry, and then I put on my regular makeup on that side.
Over the next few hours, I kept checking how my makeup was holding up. I noticed that the side with the primer looked fresher and the makeup didn’t start to slide off or get oily as quickly as the other side. It was a pretty cool difference!
Next, I asked my friends with different skin types to help me out. My friend with oily skin tried the Mac Prep + Prime Oil Control. She said it felt a bit powdery when she applied it, but it really did a number on keeping her shine at bay. Her makeup stayed matte for a long time.
Another friend with dry skin tested the Mac Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion. She was really happy with it. She said it made her skin feel super hydrated and the makeup went on like a dream. It didn’t look patchy or flaky at all.
For sensitive skin, my other friend tried the Mac Prep + Prime Fix+ as a primer. She said it had a nice, calming smell and it didn’t irritate her skin at all. The makeup also looked smooth and natural on her.
After all these tests, I can say that choosing the right Mac primer really depends on your skin type. If you have oily skin, go for the oil control one. Dry skin? Get the moisture infusion. Combination like me, the refined zone is a great pick. And for sensitive skin, the Fix+ can work wonders as a primer.
So there you have it, my journey to find the perfect Mac primer for different skin types. I hope this helps you make a better choice when you’re standing in front of those makeup shelves!
