    I've purchased this primer twice. I mainly bought it because it is designed for mineral foundations which is what I wear on a daily basis. It works really well in preparing your skin for smooth,...

    I’m on my second bottle. I like it the most compared to what I used before (Smashbox and CoverFX). It’s light and easy to apply. It just glides on the skin making my face a perfect canvas for BE...

    I'm always looking for new primers that go on smoothly, and leave a flawless finish to your skin. This is actually what this product does. I love, love, love it! =)

    I don't or didn't use to even believe in primers. My thing is if you have a good enough foundation then you don't or shouldn't need a primer but I got this is my bare escentuals kit and have fallen...

    Prime Time was my main primer for quite some time. It’s a clear gel that applies smoothly. I notice that makeup stays fresh a bit longer than usual, though it’s not really notice-able to the...

    Glides on smoothly and feels great on my skin. I have seen a slight improvement in the staying power of my make up but usure yet whether it justifies the expensive price.

    I adore this primer for my liquid foundation! Makes an awesome base (applied over moisturizer). My heavy foundation glides on beautifully and evenly, and looks natural. And, I see a difference in...

    This product works fine for mineral makeup, not so much for liquid foundation. However, even when using Prime Time with mineral makeup, I didn't see a huge difference in staying power. The...

    Like other reviewers here, I found that this primer, unlike Urban Decay's, did not make my face break out. While I can't say it produced a radical improvement in the appearance of my skin, it did...

    This is the only primer besides the Sephora brand that does not make my acne prone skin break out. I even have very oily skin and this seemingly oily product helps control oil on my face. I tried...

    At first, I loved this. The texture is smooth, at application is simple. But I've been using this for about two weeks now, and it sucks. 1. Drying tie is ridiculous, I don't have time to wait 5...

    Foundation goes on so much more smoothly when you use this product first.....prime time also helps cover large pores on the nose area.

    This is an excellent primer, but you must let it dry for at least 2 or 3 minutes. If not, it rubs away like pencil eraser bits. My eye makeup has never looked so good! I will not purchase this...
