Prep + Prime Lip Primer

I always wear a primer under my lipstick. Not only because I often use matte lipsticks, but also to make the coarse lines disappear in your lips. I like MAC's lip primer, looks chic and contains vitamin E. I must honestly say this is the only primer I've tested so far, but I like it perfectly. It fills my lips well so I can apply my lipstick easily. On the contrary, I think a lip balm can have as good effect as this primer. I don't think my lipstick stays on my lips longer than if I don't apply a primer. All in all, great primer for extra care for lips and self-care (because MAC products are heavenly), but a little overpriced for the actual operation. Hence 3 stars.

I use these under my lipstick to hide the skins a little more. I don't think it really hydrates or stays better. Sometimes I feel like it stays less well. The structure feels nice on your lips.

In a crazy treat yoself mood, I once bought this lip primer, lip pencil and lipstick from MAC. Must be able to occasionally, right? ;) This lip primer smoothes lips to make your matte lipstick look more beautiful and your lips are less dry. Great stuff. But at that price I wouldn't necessarily buy it again, I also regularly use Labello or another lip balm under a matte lipstick.
