The newest addition from their Prep + Prime family turns out to be a real star! MAC Prep+Prime Skin Refined Zone is a lightweight, oil-free, soy-based lotion that gives you a matte finish once applied on the skin. According to the product knowledge, this primer can make your pores appear smaller and even unclogs them over time. I don’t know about the long-term effect but it does sort of create a “barrier” between my rather large pores and the foundation so when I apply the foundation, it does not sit on the pores but glides perfectly on top of them! Me likey!
The lasting power is considerably better than the first Prep + Prime. I did have to blot my face with a tissue once in the afternoon but there wasn’t any visible melting or cracking. I really like the mattefying effect that sometimes I’d wear it without any foundation so just the primer and powder on top and I could still achieve the flawless look.
Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone is available in any MAC counter for Rp. 188.000
Tips : To use this primer you actually have to wait until they dry before putting on anything on top because when first applied it feels a bit wet. But don’t worry, it’s not gonna be long and the drydown will give your skin a smooth & silky feeling.

Apakah primer ini ‘baik’ jika digunakan untuk sehari-hari??
* maap nih pertanyaan nya ‘lugu’ banget ya…hehe
Lies, “baik” kok, hehehehe, malahan menurut claim-nya kalo dipake secara continuous primer ini bisa memperbaiki tampilan kulit. Rasanya di kulit ringan bgt kok jeung…
wah Koukla, cocok2an kali ya? gw bbrp bulan lalu gw pake serangkaian produk prep+primer ini, initially gw pcaya aja coz ingridients’nya n tnyata jg enak dipake,tapi stlh sebulanan make malah rusak abis muka gw
jerawatann.
Koukla, kalo kulit gw yg berminyak niy *bukan cm T-zone* cucok tdk make primer ini? bakal nutup pori2 gak apalg hrs ditimpa dgn bedak or foundation setelah itu?
Koukla, cuman ada 2 macem kan MAC punya prep+prime? Waktu itu gue ditawarin juga yang ini. Pas gue tanya mbak-nya apa bedanya ama yang sebelonnya? Dia bilang yang ini ada SPF-nya. Gitu ajah, jadi karena gue udah pake sunblock, ya gue pilih yang gada spf-nya.
Ternyata lebih bagus!
Ganish,
Oyaa? Kamu pake prep+prime yg mana ya? Gue baru denger tuh ada yg sampe jerawatan pake produk ini, but then again mungkin ada kandungan yg gak cocok bgt kali ya sama kulit kamu..
DYS,
Justru prep+prime skin refined zone ini emang paling cocok buat kulit berminyak. Tapi karena ini primer and it’s meant to be worn under foundation (or powder), ya paling bagus efeknya kalo sesudah pake keduanya.
Nopai,
Ada 3 sebenernya. Prep+Prime yg biasa, Prep+Prime SPF 50 (yang akan gue bikin reviewnya soon) dan yang paling baru banget Prep+Prime Skin Refined Zone ini. Each of these products are quite different from one another..
Oh, pantesan ada 3. Berarti waktu itu yang ini belon ada ato gak ditawarin kali ke gue.
Doh jadi pengen nyoba, tapi masih ada 2 primer belon abis
akhirnya.. review primer yg bagus utk oily face hehe
nunggu review selanjutnya apa lgs beli yg ini aja ya?
Lyn, depends on where you are. The next primer I’m going to review is also good for oily skin but it’s not available in Indonesia, unless you don’t mind buying it from ebay and pay the shipping cost
Koukla, tadi gue ke MAC – PS. Trus gue tanya prep+prime yang ini, dia bilang, ini primer bukan untuk dipake di seluruh wajah. Jadi dia suggest pake prep+prime yang 1 ato yang ada SPF-nya, baru di bagian yang pori-porinya besar, dipakein prep+prime yang ini.
Emang gitu ya?
iya kayaknya kebetulan gak cocok/cara pakenya salah krn gw pake brg ama product mac lightful lainnya jg.gw pake prep+prime face protection visage spf 50..thx Koukla
Nopai,
Hmm, gue baru denger tuh kalo begitu. Mungkin maksudnya Skin Refined Zone ini emang paling bagus dipake di daerah t-zone karena memberikan efek matte. Tapi kalo gue sih ya dipake di seluruh wajah juga gpp, after all memang biasanya daerah yg paling membutuhkan ‘extra help’ adalah daerah t-zone kan karena sering berminyak dan membuat makeup jadi kurang tahan lama? Tapi kalo lo mau pake dua2nya (Prep+Prime yg biasa di seluruh wajah, Skin Refined Zone di t-zone aja) ya gpp juga jeung…gue aja kali yang males repot. hehehehe
Ganish,
Ow kalo Prep+Prime Face Protect SPF 50 itu beda sama yg gue review ini nish. Formulanya bener2 beda dan efeknya pun beda.
koukla, kayanya sih yg ini aja daripada repot2 ke ebay hehe.. tp mungkin gue bakal nunggu review lo yg selanjutnya buat ngebandingin aja
haloo…mau nanya nih.
klo MAC yg ini dibandingin sama MUFE yg all mat base itu mnding yg mana ya?
gw lagi pengen beli primer, tp masih bingung. kulit kombi cenderung berminyak dan lebih sering d luar ruangan.
gimana koukla? ada rekomen?
thx yaa..
hi mims, udah baca review2 primer yg lain? Kalo menurut gue sih (dan tentunya para FD member yg sudah membuktikan sendiri) primer yg paling ok adalah Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. Tapi kalo susah nyarinya, yg MUFE all mat base juga mirip kok formulanya..
yup yup..
hehehe..
denger dari review yg disini sih emang katanya smashbox yg paling oke ya?
sayangnya disini g ada..jd susah deh klo mo nyoba. makanya gw cari 2nd option yg lumayan laah..
thx ya koukla bwat infonya ^^
*catet” d list blanjaan”
hallo..mw nanya jg ni..
aku lg pengen nyari foundation yg ringan buat dipake sehari2 ni(tentunya jg bs tahan lama sih..hihihi)..
sekedar info aja dl aku pake loreal cm heavy gt dikulit,jd gampang banget jerawatan Y.Y hiks..
aku mw nanya kl mac gmn ya??heavy ga gt di kulit??trus yg paling bgs mac yg mana ya??oya kl boleh tw counter mac di jkt ada dimana aja ya??selain di ps tentunya…hehe thanks sblum na ya^^
priscy, i thought both of us had the same problem…
gw pengen cari foundation yang bagus..
sekarang gw cuma pk perawatan dr.wong..ga pernah pk foundation… gampang jerawatan banget neeeh…
pengen coba2 but ga tau yang bagus n cocok yang mana ya…yang ga terlalu heavy kali di kulit gw..
gw direcomended MAC…
but blum sempet ke ps..
Priscy, MAC sekarang ada di sogo PS deh kalo gw ga salah…
Hi,
mau tanya MAC Prep+Prime Skin Refined Zone ini berperan sebagai foundation ya?
gw pernah nyoba MAC Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage…gw sangat suka karena ga oily and ada efek glitternya…tapi ga jelas fungsinya untuk apa…
gw biasanya pake setelah moisturizer dan sebelum sunscreen…
Hi,
mau tanya,aku mo coba MAC utk di pake hari2 ke kantor.
terus kulit aku bermasalah bangat.pori2 besar trus komedo,muka berminyak,jerawat kecil2.
bnyk bngt kan masalah nya.
tlng dong aku hrs pake apa aja tu?
