Pros: - smooth base (feels like benefit's professional but more watery?) - helps control oil for probably 6-7 hours - comes with a pump Cons: - pump occasionally squirts too much out (not...

I bought this without knowing that it is meant for oily skin with large pores. I have dry skin with little pores. With my skin, it looked gray and clumpy and it settled into my worry lines where it...

I got this product in a bare minerals get started kit and it quickly has become my favorite primer to use with any foundation! I have dry skin and like to use matte full coverage foundations and...

I didn't really hate this product-it held my foundation fine, worked well with both the Bare Minerals powders and my other liquid foundations-but not only did it just not impress me much, it also...

Well, I don't know. It is "just" a primer, it does normal things that one would expect - however, I simply hate the feel and especially the smell of it. I can't help but feeling that I'm putting...

This has a velvety soft feel on skin and seems to be just a standard silicone primer. It did make my makeup last longer without getting oily or slipping around. Unfortunately it also breaks me out...

Meh. I got a sample of this stuff and I'm glad I didn't buy the full bottle. It's really not a great product. I wanted to love it because I love BareMinerals's products, but no. It leaves my face...

I have normal/dry skin and the first time i bought this primer i did it almost without knowing, (it went along with the start kit of bareminerals). I LOVE it. It doesn't dry me out and it works for...

The only reason I won't buy this again is because of the price - for what this costs, I would need it to be a stellar product. It's a really yellow primer that doesn't make your skin appear...

it was great until i broke out! it did keep my makeup lasting all day, evident while I'd be taking my makeup off and more product would come off in comparison to when I didn't use the primer....

My go-to primer. If its just an average day and I have no specific skin concerns I reach for this primer time and time again. A little goes along way and the price is very reasonable. Very...

I have yet to find a primer that works as well as this one. It's not perfect but all the other primers I've tried take SO long to dry, and will make your foundation peel and cake if you don't wait...

By far my favorite primer, when I do wear one that is. Worn bare essentials for about 5 years. Put this on (little goes a long way) put on a bb cream and then either bare minerals loose matte...

Fills in pores, but doesn't blur imperfections, though maybe my imperfections are just too imperfect to be blur-able. Allows my foundation to smooth on very silkily, and comes in a hygienic...

This feels very siliconey and smooth, which is nice. It did not reduce oil or blur imperfections. The foundation glides on in a nice way when I use this but I would not repurchase.
