Primers are nothing new, but the SPF 50 sun-protection in this just-released MAC Cosmetics product stopped me in my tracks. Called Prep and Prime ($26.50), this multi-tasking potion acts as a moisturizer, a primer, and a sunscreen, so you can cut out a couple of steps.
All you need is a small amount, and it absorbs very quickly. Simply apply it after you wash your face and wait a couple of seconds before you begin your makeup routine. Another bonus: It contains oil-absorbing powder to help keep you looking matte all day.

Wow! This sounds fabulous! And it's pretty reasonable too. I'm going to have to give it a try.
1i hope all primers come with spf now. i use the paul and joe primer with spf 30 but sephora is not restocking them and i am so sad. been using the smashbox primer i got as a sample and so far its pretty nice.
2! That sounds perfect !
3This sounds like a miracle, I hope it lives up to all those promises.
4That does sound great! I want some.
5Sounds fantastic
6I have a feeling it's going to do well.
7Is it in stores yet? I need to grab some! I hope it's not greasy.
8I may have to give this a try when my smashbox with spf runs out.
9I've never used primer, but that's a pretty good price. I might have to try it for all it's muliti-tasking properties!
10that's sounds great. whomever buys it first- please review for all of us!
11Bella, you should do a review of this!
12this is out in the uk already-i used some of my friends and it is fantastic-i have oily skin and it was shine proof all day and my foudation did not slip x
13i want to some i just hope my face doesnt get all greasy
14I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I have been using MAC prep & prime for awhile now and it totally afixes your foundation, so slipping, no shiny face! It is great and now even better with 50 SPF!
15I *have* to get some - MAC is my favourite!!! I also really like the primer from No. 7; it works like magic.
16That looks awesome, especially the 50 SPF!
17My foundation has a moisturizer and SPF in it, but I do love primer, and the fact that it will keep your make-up matte.MAC has great stuff!
18Ooohhhh... I love Mac. I will definatly picking up some of this!
19SPF 50!? Wow! Is this just a rework of their regular Prep & Prime? If so, I love that stuff. If I'm *just* going to wear primer with no foundation or tinted moisturizer, my first choice is MAC Prep & Prime. It has little subtle sparklies that I think are just awesome.
20I'm usually not into MAC at all -- but this product stops me dead in my tracks too! Now I may have to saunter over to Georgetown to pick some up!
21Prep and Prime Face Protect spf 50 is an amazing product. I've used it everyday since MAC launched it. However i would suggest to apply moisturizer first because its just a primer/spf not really a moisturizer, especially if you have dry skin.
22SPF 50?! Consider me sold.
23this sounds amazing. i hope it works well.
24Wow! This sounds faboo! I need to get to a Mac store! (Yes I know I can get it online but I like having them put new colors on me!) =)
25i need to pick up some of this!!!
26i bought 2 today!one for my mom who is out in the sun all day and one for me! im picky so i hope i like it!
27Wow - spf 50. I'm almost out of my Smashbox Photofinish primer, and this is my next one. Most primers don't have spf this high!
28has anyone tried this? I want to give it a shot
29i want to try this!
30I have to try find it somewhere in Aus...I need the spf 50 sounds great!
31This is my favorite new product, check out my blog "daily makeup routine" cuz I've officially worked it into my arsenal!
32So I wonder if it protects against UVA and UVB rays? Does anyone know?
