Lip stick now stays in place!
This lip primer works wonders for me! It moistens and smooths lips and sets a base to keep bleeding from happening and makes lip stick stay put longer.

Disappointingly split into two
This primer is too narrow. Simply removing the cap broke the primer in which at least 1/3 of it was in the cap. Wait until MAC sells a much wider primer. The primer itself feels great especially before putting on a matte lipstick; that it is fragile and eventually breaks makes it useless.

No Big Deal
I also found this to be no big deal and didn’t significantly either prime lips or maintain lip liner or lipstick. I’ve been using Too Faced Shadow Insurance for years and that DOES make a noticeable and reliable difference. (Putting eyeshadow primer on my lips hasn’t made me sick, poisoned, or killed me in any way. It’s fine.)

Best lip primer out there!
This is the best lip primer out there so far! My lipstick stays on all day and my lips feel protected and not dry for most of the day.

Prime time For Lush Lips
I’ve been using this lip primer forever. Aids in a nice even lip color application after the lip primer. I use MAC lip primer alone also. Better than any chapstick
