Primer Review - MAC Prep + Prime
Koukla in Face Escentials — August 17th, 2007
This brand actually has 3 different foundation primers, each with its own distinct feature and benefit that I decided to write a separate review for each product.
The first Prep + Prime is a lotion formula with special-effect silicones that calms and soothes the skin. If you look really closely, MAC Prep+Prime has a teeny tiny pearl particle so it doesn’t give you a mega-watt shimmery effect but only a nice, very subtle glow. The texture is smooth and silky on my skin and my liquid foundation blends easily on top of it. It really does make a difference on how the foundation looks on my face, somehow it looks even, soft and flawless.
However, I can not say the same thing about the staying power. On the day I wore Prep + Prime, I was quite busy and had to spend most of the day out of the office. Though I was mostly in an air-conditioned room and car, it was a very hot and humid day. So when I was finally home later that evening, I automatically checked my reflection on the mirror to see what has happened to my makeup and…yikes! My face was very very oily and the foundation had melted a little bit in a few parts!
So even though I’d give MAC Prep + Prime 8,5 points for enhancing the appearence of my skin when I just applied my foundation, I would give it a 5 for not being able to make the foundation last longer.

primer nya MAC ternyata kurang bagus ya?? duh, tadinya gue pengen coba tuh tapi kalo ternyata gak long lasting ya gue setia sama primer ModelCo gue aja deh. eh yang dari Chanel juga bagus lhooo, namanya blanc universel.
kalo yg Modelco gue akuin emang bagus, gue seharian di hongkong disneyland pas summer at the hottest point masih terlihat bagus, lumer dikit lah. cuma ini kan gue seharian di outdoor, udaranya aja sampe 40 derajat celcius.

Gue juga pake MAC Prep+Prime, masih gantian pakenya ama MUFE. Kalo kegiatannya cuman ngantor, mobil, mall, AC doank, hasilnya baik-baik saja. Tapi pas gue gym, pake yang MUFE efek udah gym-nya lebih cantik, yang MAC jadi agak berantakan emang. Ato mungkin karena kulit gue berminyak? Karena yang MUFE itu emang buat kulit berminyak.

hanzky: thanks ya udah ngebenerin posting gue. tapi gue salah post gambar. hihihie… harusnya tuh di link yang dibawah itu. tapi gue kasih link ke websitenya dia aja ya…

iya ini merek oz, tapi kan udah masuk sephora n henri bendel di us. cobain 3 in 1 foundation nya juga deh. bagusssss!! gue suka karena gak cakey, long lasting and covers my sins, dapet matching concealer lageee…
udah gitu dia punya satu product lg yang genius bgt. eyelashes gue kan mau diapain juga gak bisa curl, trus gue heat aja pake LashWand dari modelco, jadi mesinnya itu semacam curling iron buat eyelashes. bukannya gue promosiin modelco ya, tp suer product nya mereka jenius banget.

Rica,
Yang Prep+Prime ini sih menurut gue kurangnya ya di staying powernya itu, kalo baru dipake sih hasilnya bagus, jadi mungkin cocoknya kalo dipake cuma sebentar 2-3 hrs at a party maybe. Adaproduk primer mereka yg lain yg akan gue review juga…nantikan ya!
Btw lo bener2 bikin gue penasaran nih sama produk modelco itu..apa lagi curling iron eyelash itu..arrghh pengen nyobaaaa!
Nopai,
Bisa jadi kulit kita yg terlalu berminyak ya pai, soalnya gue juga tuh…Btw gue pikir gue doang loh yg kalo nge-gym pake makeup…hihihihi

Katanya emang harusnya pas gym kudu tanpa make up yah? Tapi gue sih gak tega ‘menelanjangi’ muka gue… hahahah… jadi ya dibutuhkan primer canggih yang teteup cantik walopun keringetan gym.

rica, duh jadi nyesel dulu ga beli Mimco Lash Wand.. skrg udah forgud jadi ga bs beli lg deh. Soalnya g dulu pernah beli product yg mirip2 kaya gt di eBay, tp hasilnya biasa2 aja…jadi gw pikir mimco yg ini bakalan sm aja…
g setuju sm lo, emang product2 Mimco ini genius bgt!

vveen, modelco = mimco = merk tas di Aussie? Mereka ada keluarin kosmetik juga?
August 19th, 2007 at 10:19 pm

nopai..hihi..nama boleh mirip dan sama dari aussie, tp mereka b2 ini bener2 beda:
modelco ini body and beauty product..yg bikin modelco ini terkenal bgt sampe ke US gara2 spray tan nya. Modelco juga ngeluarin body scrub, lotion, face base, etc etc..walaupun ga banyak dan ga specifik tp setiap produknya bagus2.
klo mimco, ini merk tas, juga termasuk leather products juga kaya dompet, gantungan kunci dan printilan2..
pokoknya modelco sm mimco, selain sama2 dari OZ, ga ada hubungan satu sama lainnya

Kalau menurut gw product ini lumayan keras. Kulit gw nggak sensitive sekali sih, tapi kerasa agak ‘panas’ di area tertentu waktu gw pake product ini. Dan seperti yang di revew, menurut gw agak berminyak. Tapi gw suka texturenya karena silky banget gitu.
