    I do not like this primer at all as it did not help with my foundations longevity. It settled into my lines and wrinkles also making my make up settle into them as well. It made me break out...

    Update 3/17: I realized that it was actually my blotting sheets that clogged my pores!! This had nothing to do with it and I've been using this product everyday. It makes my foundation + concealer...

    This stuff is awesome. It makes my skin so soft and smooth, and it makes my Bare Minerals Matte stay on a lot longer. It's insanely, insanely hot and humid where I live and I wore this today and my...

    When I applied this on my face it made my skin so soft and smooth with only a small amount. Not sure if it keeps my foundation on for longer, but it is a nice makeup base as the application of my...

    I love this primer. I tried the smashbox primer which I heard is supposed to be the best but I like this one much better. This primer is good if you have sensitive skin like myself but not so good...

    Tried it for 2 days, it really feels smooth and nice, however it takes pretty long time to dry. Also the next day I noticed new breakout (white bumps) so I stopped using this. Still, my favorite...

    I bought this after using L'oreal's studio secrets primer for about 4 months. I'm a bit of a old hand at primers and I ask a lot of them - I like to still see most of my foundation still on my face...

    I was happy enough with my Bobbi Brown face base until I switched to using bare minerals. Prime time helped my bare minerals make up stay on much much better and I like the silky finish it gives my...

    gives a smooth base for make up application.. but thats it. doesn't extend wear as much, and definately does not help if you are oily. Pass on this and go for Timebalm primer. I don't get oily ALL...

    This was just OK for me. It made my face oily about an hour after application. Will not repurchase.

    This primer is da bomb. My whole face stayed on through work, shopping, and a nap. It also keeps my skin feeling fantastic!

    I love this stuff, it makes my skin look so smooth and seamless. It's very light and thin and helps my makeup look so much better. I've tried other primers and they seem like a thick layer, but not...

    I hated this primer. It didn't help me with long wear, even application. I felt like it just sat there and was an unnecessary step in my application that day. Good thing it was a sample. I'll stick...

    This is my HG of primers!! It works so well!! I love that it is more natural than others (it does still contain silicone, so those who breakout from silicone, I would not recommend to them) This...

    I was pleasantly surprised by this. It was the first primer I ever used and I don't think I can go back to not using primer. It kept the makeup staying on and it also controlled oil very well. I...

    I thought primer was all gimmick until I actually, well, used it. This definitely makes my bare minerals go on smoother and last longer, but the biggest perk is how it works with my concealer. I...
