    Absolute HG product. Been using it for years. I have naturally dry skin. I apply this over my moisturizer before applying foundation. It gives me a flawless canvas for make up application, makes...

    This is an amazing primer, it brightens skin and kept my mineral foundation on all day. It does have a shimmer to it if u look at the product itself but no glistening to skin just a nice dewy...

    This is the best primer ever! I ran out of my old primer and I had this lying around as a gift, I decided to give it a go since I didn't have another - best decision I could have made! I have been...

    I have been using a sample of this as my skin transitions to winter status. Caveat: My skin is very dry, and I don't think this uber-emollient primer would work for anyone with oily...

    The one curious thing about this primer is it has no brightening/radiance effect whatsoever. That said, I have found it to be a good primer. The golden rule with ANY primer is it must match your...

    An average primer. It's odourless, with small gold particles in a peachy base. As others have mentioned, the pump gets clogged quickly so I unscrew the pump to use it now. Plus, one full squirt was...

    This is the first product i have ever returned for a refund. This isnt a brightening primer, its a glitter moisturiser. I use a blush with sheer shimmer in it and when using both together my face...

    I really like this stuff. After age 35 (and 2 babies) my skin became sensitive, dry and dull. One pump of this under my foundation helps! My makeup glides on so smoothly after it. I always let...

    Good concept, horrible formula. The spinoff falls far behind the original. This ochre-colored gel did not seem to have a significant brightening effect. The formula became chunky and solid when I...

    Please, don't bother with this if you are comparing it to the original Prime Time. Also, this has no illuminating or brightening effect. The nozzle clogs up and the product is no longer liquid...

    This version is totally different in consistency than the original BM face primer. This version is supposed to brighten the skin, due it its peachy tint. However, I have never noticed any real...

    This is a generally good product. My makeup did stay on all day, however, I really felt that it was a downgrade from the regular Prime Time. This one does not make your skin feel as good as the...

    I've not used a primer before - I know, I hang my head with shame- but was having issues with the longevity of the BE foundation in the summer heat. The ladies at the BE counter in selfridges...

    I love this product! Bare Escentuals primers work best for me and don't make my skin break out so I thought I would try their brightener. I got it when prices were down (as this can be quite...

    I own both the original and this one. This one is more moisturizing and gives you a luminous glow however it doesn't control oil as well as the original. My favorite way to use this is to mix it...
