MAC Prep Prime Transparent Finishing Powder vs. MAC PRO Set Powder

[spaceysno1girl]

If anyone can get hold of sleek products, sleek one is very comparable to both of these powders and a fraction of the cost, its super fine and suitable for all skin colours x

[TheKiaraTorres]

they have the set powder on the mac website for $27 and the prep and prime is $23

[indpndntlabl]

the set powder is now sold online without being a pro member.

[faby626]

does the mac set powder give you a a shiny or glowy look? is it good for oily skin?

and wat does the prep prime do to your skin??

please reply=]

[pre2prodance]

im still confused what is setting powder for? and which type of powder do i use for under eye lines so that makeup can possible cover them?

have you used mac eye primer for oily lids? i wanted to but it but i heard urban potion is just as good

[PoisonRoze1991]

@pre2prodance Setting powder is for actually setting your foundation, to make sure it doesnt go anywhere... atleast in the case of liquid foundation, which is what I use. It helps make your skin look a little more flawless.

i hav this powder but rite now i blot it on with a sponge whn the mac rep app it the brush she used wiped away my concealor instead of sitting on top of it---wat brush do u use??

[musefan410]

could i use the prep and prime powder as a set powder for bare minerals? or would mineral veil be better?

thanks!

I use the PREP andPRIME finishing powder every day. what Ido after I finish my makep application is I take a "small' concealer brush dip it into the PREP and PRIME powder tap (access off) and I dust/pat it gently under my eyes to set the concealer (its so annoying to do your concealer and seconds later its already creased vanished where the fine lines are before its set, because you look down at times while applying make up). This helps t fix that. Then I take a powder brush swirl,tap,& apply!

[dca1962]

Thanks, I actually found this very informative. =)

[youreglowing]

Would u use this instead of compact? Can ne1 shop @ the MAC Pro Store or just professionals?

[SexyRedLipstick]

Can you use the prep and prime finishing powder before you put on your foundation?

[pinkglosses]

love your reviews !!

[SilvanaMagni]

thanks a looot!

you really help me tons! =D

5 stars

[mrdd]

if there 100% silica, there will be no difference.

silica absorbs oils.

makeupforever HD setting powder is the same as the mac finishing powder.

[gizdawn8]

laura, i use liquid foundation and then a powder foundation on top of it. can i use the mac pro invisible powder on top of that, or would that be too much product?

[gizdawn8]

hey girl, just wondering if this would be okay to use as a setting powder for concealer? i like to put foundation, then concealer, but don't yet have a setting powder for it. what is your opinion?

[iluvcandy1104]

you should do more reviews!

[allycatapg]

Yes please! i love you reviews

[BUNNYBUTT1984]

five stars

[D2thaAsia]

i agree. i have both and prefer the set powder. :)

[MizAnya]

thank you! that was very helpful XD although i already got a prep and prime finishing powder :D next time i think i'll go for the setting powder :D

thanks again!

[afrahenna]

could the prep and prime b used over powder foundation.??.i am planning to buy it but aint sure yet??

[SephoraJunkie]

yes it could be used over powder foundation.

[FUNKYMACGIRL]

i bought the prep n prim e finishing powder....and i love it...great for kit beginers....

[MounOkap]

Actually, for dark chocolate caramel skin there is difference between the two. The pro set powder looks ashy; whereas the finishing powder looks very natural.

[ellaweta]

thanks this helps!!!!!!!!

[fafinettex7]

what colur are u using on your nails

[SephoraJunkie]

OPI "get in lime"

[omeleko]

thats a good tip, to apply the setting powder before the blush. im going to have to try that =]

[rossy21111]

where can i find the set powder? they got it on the pro website but its only 8 grams. do i have to go to the store or can i get it online bigger size?

[jayneebaybe]

thanks for the review!! good to know that they are pretty much the same..! (=

[MZEURASIANBEAUTY]

I hope you demonstrate more comparison reviews like this in the future. Brilliant.

[1LoveRespect]

can the powder be used in place of the skinfinish natural powders

[qwerkykes]

is this the same as a veil?

[kmackin410]

my MA said that the prep and prime transparent finishing power gives a more, hydro-luminous affect to your skin lol but i'm not sure anymore. lol loved this review/comparison Laura

<333

[daisylovesmakeup]

does the prep and prime have any shimmer or glow to it? thanks :)

[SephoraJunkie]

no it's a matte finish

[daisylovesmakeup]

thanks :) do you buff it into the skin or pat it on top? Sorry for all the questions! XD

[msakdesigns]

would you use the finishing power to set powered foundation because I do not use liquid foundations?

[omeleko]

you dont need to use setting powder if you use powder foundation. it's only for liquid foundation

[keroXkero]

thank you for making a comparison! i asked my mac ma and she told me that the transparent powder was a lot better than the setting powder but deep down i knew it was really the same! lol.

[athill29]

I purchased the Prep Prime for the first time and it did make a difference in the look of my makeup. I really Love it.

[nancy201]

thanks for doing this vid.. that was helpful

[thugqueen28]

What brush do you use for the powder?

[SarahBeara87]

Awesome video, so helpful and informative.

[FoOLiShxLaDy]

I love the Prep Prime Powder. I dont wear foundation but for me, it seems like it makes my pores look smaller. The only thing I hate is that once you get the product on the sifter it doesnt stop coming out! So now my sifter is full of product =(.

[fearofdream]

"work hard play hard" --- love your quote! i've been waiting for this comparison.. thanks! great review!!

[MMMAC26]

I love your reviews, you should do them more often. Very informative.

[sillycharm12]

i was wondering if you could do a video on what you think a mac stater kit should be? like eyeshadows and brushes,lips and etc.

;)

[mizzworthy]

I totally agree with this review, but I actually find the prep and prime version feels a bit gritty on the skin somehow! xxx

[roro051]

Great Review!

[makeadriup]

i really like your nails..what color is that?

[SephoraJunkie]

OPI "Hey! Get in Lime!"

[makeadriup]

thanks

[missjenibee]

Great review!

[Leelee1926]

Great review, thanks! I'm loving your new slogan..."work hard, play hard!"...you're so right! :)

[smgr]

I bought it bt im not quite sure how to work wd it x) im waiting for a tutorial-ish on this ;P

bt this gives me a finer idea =]

<3

[LVMAKEUP]

Thanks for doing a review of the two.

I love the new prep & prime, I like it better then MUFE HD powder.

[503408]

thanks this helps alot i always wanted to try one or the other

[mendiola2012]

love your videos, thanks for the review!!!!

[msfililocalola]

great review laura <3 i had a feeling there was no difference...

[scrumps101]

I've also been waiting for someone to do this comparison, so thanks Laura. I always love your reviews, they are so honest and complete. I personally can't wait to see what you get from the next couple of upcoming MAC collections. Have a wonderful day girl.

[favi80]

What nail polish are you wearing in this video?

[SephoraJunkie]

OPI "Hey! Get in Lime!"

[uscpharm07]

what a cute name!!

[macface2adore]

We of course can agree to disagree. At 33 years old, it definitely "erases" my fine lines and last longer on my face as compared to the set powder. Everyone is different though.

[SephoraJunkie]

Have you tried MAC's Prep and Prime line filler base? it's amazing! ^_^

[macface2adore]

Yes, I love it. I got all of those except for the shadows and brow thingy. I love them with the SPF 50 primer. Aren't they great!

[lilhondachick]

Thanks for the review :)

[kristyyum]

I've been waiting for someone to do this comparion! You can get the set powder by calling the 1-800 number for mac pro. anyone can call and buy it.

[emilymitchell1997]

why do you always disable Ratings ?

caus i always go to give you 5 stars and it wont let you. x

[XxPiNkTwiLighTxX]

thanks for the info!

[p8anut]

I think whoever invented those tops with the holes that are on blush & powder products were stupid! Its a mess to work with & so hard to come out!

[TaylorMakeUp]

IM SOOOOO GETTING THEM

[debbiefivealive]

i love this stuff and it works well to set your foundation. thanks for sharing.

[idontcare2807]

i love mineral powders...they are much better then the other ones

[0000maya0000]

yaay :)

[jadegreen12]

Thanks for this. =)

[HappyMuffin17]

great! :)
