Well it's the only makeup I use. A least facial wise. People always say I'm crazy because it's so expensive. Well in my mind you get what you pay for. I used to use cover girl or others but they always made my face break out big time. So I made the switch to department store brand and Mac was the only one that covered well and didn't cause me to break out. But I have really oily skin and a few hours into wearing it when I did my face would look all cakey. So finally I went back and explained the issue and they recommended this stuff called the prep+prime. They said it was $22 which made me go eek I gave in to it. I tried it finally yesterday and WOW what a difference it made. Even after sweating from trying on clothes and just walking around the mall with my friend I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and it looked like I had just done my makeup. I know I sound like a walking advertisement but I can't help it. For those of you here who have this same problem and wear makeup this is well worth the investment. I don't wear makeup very often so I know it'll last me a good long while.
