    EXCELLENT PRIMER! So, I am a recent BE foundation convert and so I decided to give this primer a try because my skin is sensitive and BE products tend to be gentle and not irirtate my skin. First,...

    Wasn't sure about using a primer - seemed like an unnecessary extra step, but I thought I'd try this one based on the reviews & I'm pretty happy! It definitely seems to control oil and shine. I use...

    I have never been one to see much benefit from primer. Well, I guess I should say that I do see the benefit of it, but on my oily skin, it was usually quite a short-lived benefit that wasn't worth...

    My favorite primer!!! This stuff is amazing. It's very similar in texture to the infamous Smashbox primer, but it doesn't feel as greasy and it doesn't break me out like the Samshbox. It works well...

    I was a Smashbox Photofinish user until I found this one. For $15 less, I found that the BE primer was even better than my Smashbox. They both have a smooth texture that sinks into your skin, but...

    I've tried a few primers (SB, LM, DHC, Lola, Tarte, Advanced Radiance, Monistat Anti-Chafe) and this one is the best so far, meaning it's the first one to actually do what it says and doesn't feel...

    This did not work well for me, sunk into my pores instead of filling them in and I was very oily after an hour or so. This is similar to Smashbox primer but not quite as bad. Smashbox primer made...

    I am a fan of Smashbox primer and I have to say, the Prime Time is better. It's still silicone and has a similar feel to the Smashbox but it wears differently. Makeup stays fresher longer with the...

    I've using Prime Time for over a week. I really like it. A very small amount goes a long way. One pump is way too much for me. I prefer Prime Time to Smash Box, Monistat Chafing Gel, Velvet...

    This is the first primer I've used and liked! At first I was skeptical, thinking this was going to be similar to Smashbox's primer. Smashbox's primer made my skin more oily and more slick than if...

    I thought that Smashbox PhotoFinish primer was good, but I'll admit, I like Prime Time even better. It's not as thick and has less of a silicon feel to it. It does decrease the look of my pores and...

    This is a wonderful primer! I haven't tried many, but I have tried a few, and this one is by far the best. You just need a tiny bit (one pump) for the entire face, and my BE goes on so smoothly! ...
