PRODUCT REVIEW: Mac Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage SPF 50

Hey guys ! This post is going be a review on the Mac Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage SPF 50. <- That's a mouth full lol.

This product is essential to oily/combination skin but definitely can be used on any skin types. It helps your make up stay on for hours (just as the All Nighter Spray from UD).

This:
1) Primes the skin
2) Protects the face from UVA/UVB sun rays with a SPF of 50
3) Moisturizes the skin

On the MAC website, it's stated that "A skin-protecting cream with SPF 50. Applies under makeup to prime the skin for the sun. Featherweight, fast-absorbing, oil-free, invisible. Will not affect the look, texture or long-wear integrity of your makeup. Specially formulated with oil-absorbing powder, helps prevent oil breakthrough. Provides high-level broad spectrum sun protection. Worn daily helps guard the skin against discolouration, premature aging, dryness and other effects of sun exposure. "

Cost: 2/5 - This costs 30.00 USD $ which is a lot considering the amount you get in the tube which is 1 fl. oz. Although you only need a nickel size amount for the whole face, I really debate if I want to re-splurge on the item though I love it.

Packing: 3/4 - I'm not too happy about the packing on this item, the bottle is really hard and stiff so if it comes down to a time when you have a little left, you might want to cut the tube to scrap the excess left. What I did was I depotted it? I took an empty sample container and squeezed all of the product out, I think this is a better option :)

Application: 5/5 - Applying this is the same way anyone would apply a primer/moisturizer. It isn't too creamy or too liquidy. It comes out as a white cream and absorbs within the skin within 5-10 minutes. Though it contains a higher SPF it doesn't leave such a harsh white cast which is great !

OVERALL: 4/5 I really do enjoy using this product, I've had mine since March and I have a little more than half left which is a good deal for the 30$ I had to cash out. It helps my make up stay long lasting through out the whole day literally along with the high SPF which is awesome for the summer time.
