MAC Prep + Prime Lip colorless lip primer 0.05 oz — hydrates, smooths & extends lipstick wear

Designed by MAC, this compact 0.05 ounce lip base smooths dry or uneven lips without adding pigment, helping makeup glide on and maintain its finish. Lightweight and travel-friendly, it works under any lip product to reduce feathering, improve color payoff, and give a softer texture to the lip surface. Apply a thin layer before your favorite lipstick, liner, or gloss for improved wear and appearance.

How does MAC Prep + Prime Lip improve lipstick wear?

The primer creates a hydrated, even surface so color adheres consistently instead of settling into lines or flaking. Because it’s colorless, it won’t alter your chosen shade—only its application and longevity. It also helps minimize feathering and keeps pigments from migrating beyond the lip line.

• Creates a uniform surface for smoother color application
• Reduces feathering and migration of pigments
• Helps lipstick maintain a truer color payoff
• Lightweight formula won’t cake under layers

When and how should I apply this lip primer?

Use MAC Prep + Prime Lip as the first step in your lip routine: apply a thin layer over clean lips before liner, lipstick, or gloss. It’s suitable for quick touch-ups or full makeup looks and works on bare lips to boost hydration between applications. The small 0.05 oz size makes it easy to carry for on-the-go use.

• Apply a thin, even layer over clean lips
• Follow with lip liner, then lipstick or gloss as desired
• Reapply sparingly when lips feel dry during the day
• Travel-friendly size fits most makeup bags

• Hydrates lips for a softer application surface
• Minimizes the look of dryness under makeup
• Works well alongside moisturizers or lip treatments
• Provides instant cosmetic improvement, not a long-term cure
