  Pros

  It provides excellent hydration and gives your skin a radiant glow. I love how it leaves my skin feeling moisturized.

  Cons

  The price is quite steep and the quantity is a bit small, which is disappointing. I wish it offered better value for money.

  Pros

  The texture feels slightly oily, but once applied, it finishes without any stickiness, leaving a fresh feel. I've been using this product for a long time, especially around my mouth and eyes where dead skin cells tend to be noticeable before makeup. It keeps my skin hydrated for hours, preventing my makeup from looking patchy. Since it doesn't cause pilling even when foundation is applied over it and adheres well to the skin, I use this MAC Prep+Prime Oil Stick specifically for pre-makeup skincare, while I use other oil sticks for general skincare. I highly recommend this for those whose skin tends to look dry or whose makeup easily becomes patchy. It's also an essential product for those who prefer a foundation-free look and only use brightening moisturizer.

  Cons

  While there's nothing to complain about regarding the product itself, I wish it came in a larger quantity.

  Pros

  1. The stick format makes it incredibly convenient to apply. It's also great as a portable option. 2. For an oil balm, it's not overly oily, yet it provides good hydration. Even in summer, when I often hear complaints about dryness from air conditioning in stores, applying just a little to needed areas reduces that dry feeling. 3. It's versatile and absorbs well. You can gently pat the oil stick or roll it in your palms before applying to areas like nails or lips for effectiveness. You can also swipe it on facial areas like the forehead, nasolabial folds, and under-eyes, then spread the oil across your entire face - it blends easily because it's an oil.

  Cons

  1. The quantity is a bit disappointing for the price. While the formula isn't too soft, so it lasts longer than other sticks, many oil sticks have been released recently, and the amount you get for the price is somewhat lacking.

  Tip

  I got a tip at the store that if you melt it in your palm and then press it onto your face, it can help set makeup or tame cakey makeup when touching up!

  Pros

  This is an absolute holy grail for my dry skin! When I use it as the very first step in my makeup routine, without anything else underneath, it gives me such a beautiful glow. If you really work it into your skin, you'll get this incredible radiance that doesn't cause your makeup to pill later.

  Cons

  The only downside is the amount you get. I tend to use quite a bit, so it runs out in about a month, or two months max if I'm stretching it.

  Tip

  Make sure to compare prices as they can vary significantly for this product. For those with dry skin, layering too many products can actually cause makeup to pill and look patchy. With this, you just need to apply it alone, followed by a primer or emulsion, and you're good to go. It's also great for touch-ups - just gently pat it on where needed!

  Pros

  It doesn't make your makeup separate when applied underneath. As someone with oily skin, I appreciated that it wasn't too rich.

  Cons

  I'm a bit disappointed that it runs out faster than expected... I even tried oil sticks from other brands, but ultimately came back to this one.

  Tip

  Apply it once all over your face, then reapply on particularly dry areas for extra hydration.

  Pros

  If you have dry skin, this is an absolute must-have! It's a highly recommended product. For those with dry skin, especially during winter, it prevents makeup from flaking, gives a beautiful glow, and keeps your skin hydrated! It's particularly essential for the under-eye area if you have dry skin and need to cover dark circles!!!

  Cons

  The price might seem a bit high, but the quantity doesn't appear to be too small...

  Tip

  If you're worried about your makeup pilling when you apply it with a rolling motion, it's better to just smooth it on in the direction of your skin texture!
