Web ID: 583880Happy and sad ... and a little miffed
I literally just purchased this at full price, fell in love with it, and now it's going away. I don't know if I'm more upset that I paid almost double the price or that it's going away.

The best
The best finishing powder i have ever used. Coverage for about 6hours. Doesn't make you look overly pale and doesn't cause spots. Also great for taking a photograph

10 Stars
I would give this 10 stars! This is my new go to for shine control. I have very oily skin. No matter what, I end up very shinny through out the day. This is magic, no shine at all, all day! I wish i found this sooner. I use a concealer, then I apply this, then I brush on my compact. Love this so much. Its colorless, does not change your make up color.

Works
Works really well! I have been buying it for years.
Very disappointed
I bought this with high hopes having purchased MAC products in the past, but after only 2 uses, the powder cracked terribly and was unusable. It had only been sat in my make-up bag. Such a waste of what might have been a decent product. Gutted.

Response from maccosmetics.com
Hi Nat, we are very concerned to learn that your Prep and Prime Powder has cracked without any cause as this is certainly not the standard we would expect from our products. It's a great setting powder and apologise you haven't been able to use this to its full potential so far. We take quality issues very seriously and would like to invite you to contact our Consumer Care Team on 0800 074 6905 who will be more than happy to help with this further.
Nice finish at the end
I am African American and I have oily acne prone skin. I use all Mac on my face because I have yet to find anything out like it. I use the matchmaster in 8.0, the longwear concealer in nc50, skinfinish powder in deep dark and I use this to set at the end. The key is not to use too much and to use some sort of fluffy brush. I use it throughout the day if I feel oily and I like that I don’t have to use more makeup. I really like it and that I can put it in my purse. The only downside is it doesn’t come with an applicator so you will have to be creative.
Takes some getting used to
I have to admit that I almost wrote a terrible review for this powder. But I gave it a second chance and I'm glad I did. It takes some getting used to. Too much and it leaves dry white patches on my face. Too little and there's no coverage. But I got the hang of it and I gotta say this stuff works. While my skin is not oily, living in New Orleans I am subjected to "shiny face" and have to blot several times a day. So far I can go a whole day with this stuff without blotting. I'm impressed.
