I like the combination of using primers and products from the same brand. I tried the combo with the complexion stick and was pleased with the results after many hours of wear

No, I don't recommend this

I see no benefit using this product. I used the tinted prime time in the past and felt it actually was helpful.

I really like that I don’t feel like I’m wearing primer, it goes on very smoothly and makes me skin feel silky and soft.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the feel of this primer, but you only need a little, otherwise it feels a bit greasy.

So disappointed you eliminated the Original pore minimizing primer in a tube. I have tried the replacement as well as the tinted version and was very disappointed. Please bring the original back. Longtime customer.

Running low

Originally posted on bareMinerals

I’m getting very low on my Prime Time Original Foundation Primer. However, based on the reviews of the difficulty of use of the new product container and the runny consistency of the current product, I’m very hesitant to place my order. In the past, I’ve always been pleased with how smooth my skin feels after applying your primer, but I’m doubtful of its effectiveness now. Your loyal customers deserve some definitive answers before we need to seek a new product elsewhere. Thank you.

Works well with the mineral powder. It will last far longer than the smaller size.

Horrible replacement

Originally posted on bareMinerals

No, I don't recommend this

The pump on this is horrible. Makes it take so long to do my makeup, just trying to get it out and i know i’ll lose money on not being able to get all of the product out, if its this bad on the first couple uses. On top of that, they got rid of the pore primer, that was fantastic. This is a horrible replacement that doesn’t make my makeup stay and in-fact, makes my makeup look horrible and separate. Now I just can’t use your primer anymore and I’ve been using to pore primer for about 10 years. Such a shame for this to become just another company that goes down the drain with the quality of their products.
