MAC prep + prime in medium plus :
The market is flooded with BB Creams which promise to give instant coverage, sun protection, clear skin and what not.But not every product becomes a hit.Some have less shades which can be a big drawback in a country like India where everybody's skintone is unique.
Some days when I really feel like dressing up and have the time for it before heading to office, I do use my foundation, setting powder & so on.
But on the days I have a meeting and I am in a rush, I use a BB cream which gives me a flawless look in 2 minutes and I am all set to go. Then we might wonder what is the need for a foundation.The primary motive of a foundation is to give your face a clear look with minimized pores and scars.This is only one of the motives of a BB cream, it serves as a good sunscreen, moisturizer & so on. We cannot attend weddings with only a BB cream, a foundation has to go on top for a even more flawless look.

My take on MAC prep + prime BB cream :
Packaging of MAC prep + prime BB cream :
I am in love with the packaging. It comes in a glittery black tube that is perfectly classy and the cap is sturdy.The packaging is extremely travel friendly & occupies very little space.Because of the tube packaging, wastage can be avoided. You can squeeze out only the required amount.
Texture of MAC prep + prime BB cream :

| Texture of MAC BB cream |
The formula is extremely smooth & the texture is more like a cream and is perfect for a 5 minute makeup routine. It does have an oil paint kind of smell which might be a let down for some of them. Two drops of primer is enough for a medium coverage of the face.It dries quite fast and you have to work immediately for blending it seamlessly.It gives a smooth effect to the face & prepares it for foundation and makes it last for a long time.You can also dab some translucent powder on top of the Bb cream & go on ordinary days when there is no need for a foundation.I like the way it makes my eye area smooth and I love it as an eye primer.
