MAC Prep + Prime Lip clear lip primer .05 oz — smooths, hydrates, extends lipstick wear

MAC Prep + Prime Lip is a colorless lip primer that smooths, hydrates, and creates an even base so lipstick, gloss, or liner applies more evenly and lasts longer.

Designed by MAC as a lightweight, clear lip base, this .05 ounce tube works under any shade or finish. It helps reduce flaking and uneven texture while providing light conditioning that improves the look and longevity of your lip products. The sheer formula is easy to layer and won't alter the color of your chosen lip shade.

How does MAC Prep + Prime Lip improve lipstick wear?

The primer creates a smooth, slightly tacky surface that helps pigment and gloss adhere more evenly to the lips. By minimizing dry patches and surface irregularities, it prevents feathering and uneven fading so your color looks truer for longer.

• Creates a uniform surface for even color payoff
• Reduces flaking and patchy fading
• Helps gloss and pigment cling to lips rather than slip

Will this change the shade or finish of my lip products?

No — the formula is colorless and designed not to shift your shade. It’s neutral-finish, so it won’t add noticeable shine or dull a matte product; instead, it preserves the intended finish of your lipstick, liner, or gloss.

• Completely transparent so shade stays accurate
• Works with matte, satin, cream, and glossy textures
• Lightweight feel avoids adding bulk under lipstick

How do I use the primer for best results?

Apply a thin, even layer over clean, dry lips before lining or coloring. Allow a few seconds for the primer to settle—then apply lip liner, lipstick, or gloss as usual. For very dry lips, pair with a brief exfoliation step beforehand.

• Use a pea-sized amount and spread thinly across both lips
• Wait 5–10 seconds to let it set before color application
• Reapply a light layer under touch-ups if needed
