    Bad... I did a patch test on my neck (along with Smashbox's Wet/Dry Foundation). A few days later I got a red bump no whithead thankfully). So I tried again, but this time I tried Merle Norman's...

    My BE foundation def. looks better when I use Prime Time! All you need is one pump, and it has a nice feel to it. You don't have to do much retouching at all if you use it, but it isn't perfect.

    I am so/so on this one. I LOVE the way this gel just disappears into my skin. Awesome consistency It really does keep my shiny face, less shiny throughout day My makeup lasts as long as I...

    I have normal skin and this product gives it a satin finish, it takes away shine in the summer all day long. A tiny dot goes a long way and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Like all makeup...

    I very rarely write reviews but I love this primer! It is much better than Smashbox Photofinish (which made my foundation hard to apply). Prime Time makes my BE foundation go on so smooth and...

    I adore this primer!! I've used Smashbox's & found it to be too heavy. MAC's didn't make a difference...this one is lightweight & works so well for my skin. It dries to a semi-matte finish & I...

    Prime Time was sold out nearly everywhere; I finally got my hands on the last one that Ulta had. I know why this was so hard to find - it's a great product! A tiny bit (one pump is plenty for me)...

    I'm very ambivalent about this product. I agree with other reviewers that one pump isn't enough. Unfortunately, two is too much and this stuff is too expensive to waste. I have come up with a...

    I was so impressed with this product!!! It gives you the same look and slip as other primers, such as Smashbox Photofinish. Although, I do feel it doesn't spread as well, so you need a little...

    This primer is just great. I've never used a primer before, so I could be biased, but it just feels so silky on my skin. I'm not sure that I noticed a change in oilyness, and I've been keeping...

    Have tried many primers and was leary to try this one. This primer is the BOMB! Lived up to expectation in the Houston Texas humidity. Will definitely repurchase! Highly recommended.
