Face Primer

Yes - A primer is your makeup’s best friend—it creates the perfect canvas, helping smooth texture, blur imperfections, and enhance longevity. Whether you want to control oil, hydrate, or add radiance, MAC has a primer to match your skin’s needs. The first step to finding your perfect face primer is determining your skin type and what you want your primer to do for you. MAC Cosmetics Prep and Prime Natural Radiance is always a great choice for a primer and is available in two shades to accommodate a range of skin tones. This is a gel emulsion that primes the skin for makeup while adding weightless hydration.

For a flawless, shine-free finish, try the MAC Studio Fix Mattifine 12HR Shine-Control Primer. Infused with skincare-loving ingredients like lactobionic acid and witch hazel, it controls oil, minimizes the look of pores, and extends makeup wear for up to 12 hours.

Hydration is key! The MAC Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion delivers an instant moisture boost, plumping and prepping skin for smooth makeup application. For an extra dewy glow, opt for the MAC Studio Radiance Moisturizing + Illuminating Silky Primer — perfect for luminous, long-wearing makeup.

Lock in your look with a multi-step approach: start with the right primer - a primer allows your base make up to adhere to it and increases the longevity of your make up wear. Next, use long-wearing foundation formulas like MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15, and finish with a spritz of MAC Fix+ Setting Spray. This iconic mist hydrates, refreshes, and sets makeup for up to 16 hours—no touch-ups needed! You could also look into finishing powder - this helps lock in your makeup and blurs the look of imperfections.
