    Default Mac Makeup

    I'm going tomorrow to pick up this awesome Angel lipstick and I was wondering do you guys use the primer before you put on their foundation and if so is it any good?

    I am on the fence if I want to purchase that along with the press powder. I have the foundation that doesn't sweat off.

    OMG i was about to buy that yesterday!!! It was b/w that and Plink and I chose Plink cause it was a gloss lipstick. I know you're supposed to always use primer, but I don't, nor do I use foundation. Sorry I'm not a good help I was just excited about the lipstick haha

    Use primer for the eyes only, not the whole face. Just exfoliate instead.

    smashbox is supposed to have the best face primer, but aside from that, MAC is not really known for having good foundations.

    yep, smashbox DOES have the best face primer. it's called photo finish. and you are right again, mac makes lousy foundations and powders. mufe is a far superior product.

    MAC primer sucks, both the eye and face one.

    I don't use MAC primer. I've gotten samples from girls in the store, but I don't love it, so it's not worth the cash. Smashbox Photo Finish is the bomb. But I have to say I can't get over MAC's Studio Fix powder foundation. It's so easy and fool-proof!

    I like MUFE a lot more than Smashbox.

    For dancing you guys HAVE to check out Urban Decay and Hard Candy...their stuff is more sparkely and edgy than normal people make up

    I've had the smashbox primer for years and have never used it. I guess I'll give it a try.

    Spackle by Laura Geller is the best face primer, imo. She makes special lip and eye primers too. You can get all 3 in this nice, portable container: .

    And I swear by Makeup Forever's foundations! I've been using the 'face and body liquid makeup' for a while, and am loving the new HD invisible cover foundation.

    MAC pigments and eye shadows are great for their intense colors, but the rest of their products are worth avoiding, imo. You can get comparable quality from drugstore brands.

    I'm always reading on different makeup forums that Monistat Anti-Chafing gel works just as well as Smashbox Photofinish. I don't use primer so never tried either. On the plus side, it's only $6 and a tube supposedly lasts forever.
