    I really liked this primer. It instantly sinks in and it doesnt feel greasy of super slippery. I've used the Monistat Chafing Gel and MAC's Prep+ Prime and those really did nothing to increase the...

    I wish this product did not break me out because it is really great. Love the texture and it feels really good on your skin. It did not feel like I had anything on, no greasy feel or anything....

    Just be careful if/when you try this product. Make sure you don't have anywhere important to go to for the next few days. I got a sample of this from Sephora and LOVED the texture of it. It...

    I've tried many primers before and after a while I get too lazy for the extra step in my mu routine so I always threw them away. Then I saw a youtube tutorial of mixing it with your mineral...

    If you already have good skin (no dry patches and even skin tone) then this doesnt do a lot on top of your good skin. It broke me out only after several hours of putting it on. So no good for me!

    I'm on my second bottle of this; it doesn't break me out; feels a little lighter/less greasy than Smashbox; lasts a really long time ( I use a pea size amount, just barely enough to smooth over...

    It's not too expensive compared to smashbox, it does make the BE foundation go on a little nicer; it does make a difference but not like a huge gigantic difference. Didn't make me break out (I have...

    I have bought three primers the same time, because I was so disappointed by the appearance of my makeup on my pore-affected face. The Clarins covered my pores perfectly, but made my face oily in...

    The guy at BE told me he used to work at Smashbox and thinks Prime Time is better than their primer. I don't like either. This made me breakout real bad like never before.

    Prime Time has been a repeat purchase for me. I've used primers from Smashbox and Lorac as well. I will say, Smashbox still makes my favorite, but I don't love it's price or ingredients. I feel...

    I LOVE this primer. I have used Smashbox's Photo Finish, Laura Geller"s Spackle, and Benefits' Dr. Feel Good, which none worked for me. So when I decided to try BE's primer, I was a bit hesitant....

    I got this as part of my kit (as a bonus). I think it makes a tiny difference when I used it under my BE foundation, but to be honest, it's just not enough to really make it a worthwhile purchase....

    This is a gel that glides on great. I have dry skin therefore I don't use mineral makeup which this was intended to be used with I think. My creme makeup goes on perfectly over this primer. It is...

    I like the texture. It's very smooth. However, this product doesn't work on me. I don't see any difference. I prefer LM primer.
