It is hot, folks! We may as well be in a swamp zone in Florida, and our makeup is migrating down to our knees. Watching our makeup, blush and eyeshadow vanish into an oil slick by noon isn’t our idea of fun in the sun. So hats off to MAC Prep and Prime Protect SPF 50 for giving us serious SPF along with a shine-proof complexion.

We love the convenience of a primer and sunscreen all in one (we’re singing hallelujah as we write this), and we’re in love with the Prep and Prime’s featherweight, fast-absorbing formulation that zaps oil breakthrough like Merlin.

This triple-acting potion also minimizes pores and shields our skin from discoloration, premature aging, dryness and other nasty effects of the sun. This is one multitasking bottle, folks. Too bad it doesn’t do household chores, but we have the Roomba for that!

Suitable for all skin types, a dab or two of Prep and Prime is all it takes for great coverage that mattifies and holds foundation in place all day. So regardless of the humidity, we can put our best face forward, go to the beach, party like Holly Golightly or run the Half Marathon looking like a goddess.

Retailing at $28.00/1 fl. oz., MAC Prep and Prime Protect SPF 50 is available online and at MAC counters everywhere.
