M*A*C has managed to find the ultimate for both purposes, however. Prep + Prime Skin is a super moisturizing lotion that works to properly hydrate the skin, while using a silicone-based formula to fill in fine lines and deep wrinkles. This gives you an even surface, and keeps the skin hydrated enough to hold foundation and eye makeup in place.

Meant to be worn under a finishing powder, it also reduces redness and improves overall tone, eliminating the need to wear as much powder or foundation as would normally be necessary. It’s oil-eliminating formula keeps pores from clogging, so those with sensitive skin, or adult acne, will be able to use it without worrying about creating a worst condition.

While it only does so much one it’s own, it is one of the more impressive of M*A*C products, and with the full set of Prep + Prime, it is a must have for any mature woman.
