MAC Prep + Prime or Smashbox Photofinish?

[Lisr]

Chelles93, what primer do you use? I could use a break on the price of a good primer!

Thanks,

Lis

Recommended to me by a MUA: Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel. It's an anti-chafing gel for your thighs, bikini area, etc.

It's for your body, but it has fewer ingredients than all the regular primers, and the ingredients that count are the same.

Hi,

I sampled MAC Prep + Prime and I luv it! I'll have to checkout the Monistate, I like the price!

 

[Lisr]

Thanks Chelles93. I'm ging to try the Monistat!

I purchased the Photofinish and it works pretty well. It goes on very light and silky on my skin but I guess I am not sure if there is a difference in how my makeup looks. It has not broken me out though and I have oily/sensitive skin

Sounds good, I need to try this product out!

Definitely Smashbox /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

both are good

I've used both and both work well. But between both...um...Smashbox. It feels really soft.

I have the MAC and I swear, my makeup lasts 4x as long! Get it, you won't regret.

Only tried Smashbox and I love it!

Definitely Smashbox Photofinish. I really wanted to like MAC's prep + prime but it was waaaay to sparkly/glittery for my liking.

I've only tried Smashbox too... and it works great. I'm almost done with my first bottle... lol.. and will be repurchasing it too...

I tried them both and I like them. One thing I didn't like about Smashbox is that made my face very oily after a few hours. One thing I didn't like about the MAC one is its shimmer, but it didn't bother me. I prefer MAC 'cos it's cheaper and I get the same finish. Shimmer is not really that bad unless you are not planning to wear foundation.

Now, I want to try the Laura Mercier primer 'cos I read that one is for oily skin. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I use MAC's prep and prime.

I use Monistat now as a primer but had a sample of Smashbox and I love it too. Have not tried MAC's but might invest in it eventually.
