MAC Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone, MAC Prep + Prime Line Filler, MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
The MAC Prep + Prime collection first launched in 2005 with Eye, Lash, Lip and Skin, followed by Skin SPF 50 in April 2006. The products were an answer to the needs of the PRO makeup artist, who wanted products that created flawless skin on which to apply makeup.
The key point of difference in the MAC Prep + Prime collection from other primers is that they were developed specifically to be used with makeup while also offering skincare benefits. Most skincare products are designed and tested for use alone. Because MAC is first and foremost a makeup artistry brand, each Prep + Prime product was specifically tested to enhance the makeup wear experience.
These products are a true hybrid formula of both skincare and makeup, with a new view on technology and texture. Prep + Prime employs new, breakthrough formulations that have both accumulative visible long-term benefits, as well as immediate visible results on the skin.
As technologies and makeup artist needs are always evolving, MAC is introducing three new products to round out the collection and provide more advanced tools to its artists and consumers: Skin Refined Zone, Line Filler, and Transparent Finishing Powder.
MAC Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone is a partial primer designed for use in the T-Zone. This lightweight, oil-free, soy-based emulsion instantly helps minimize visible pores while helping to control excess surface oil and shine.
