    Great stuff. I like to use Dr. Jart Black Label BB cream first. Apply this powder primer, and apply the Satin Matte Foundation. I have not tried a power primer before, and I haven't had much...

    This is the first primer powder I have tried! Been using the liquid primer since day one so was a little skeptical about this one. It did not disappoint! Love that it did not irritate my rosacea...

    I bought this on a whim. Watched one of those YouTube makeup videos in which the girl said powder primer are best used with powder foundation, not liquid foundation. Made sense. Browsed Sephora...

    I really like this primer! I have NC15 skin and it tends to be dry, so I have stayed away from mineral primers, instead using MAC Prep and Prime for several years. I decided to switch to all...

    I got this as a sample and still have some left. I've used it consistently since getting it and it works fairly well for my skin. I don't notice a stupendous difference, or maybe I don't use...

    I have very oily skin and this primer powder helps keep that under control, as well as reduce redness in my cheeks. A light layer before foundation keeps me looking matte and shine-free all day.

    A dear friend of mine suggested the Alima range to me, hailing it as one of the best mineral ranges she has tried. I have to admit, it did not disappoint. This primer kind of stunned me. It is very...

    I was interested in mineral makeup, so I ordered a bunch of samples from Alima. Alas, I found that the eyeliners, eyeshadows, and blushes had absolutely no staying power. I also ordered a sample...

    Alima Pure Balancing Primer Powder is, in my opinion, necessary for anyone who uses Alima Pure Satin Matte Foundation and has any signs of oiliness. I never apply my Alima foundation without first...

    Excellent mineral primer, keeps my Alima foundation reasonably matte for three to four hours, and in place looking good for up to fifteen hours. I would say this is essential to get the most...

    I've tried a lot of primers over the last 5 years and I've decided that powder primers work best for me. Alima's is by far my favorite and I've gone through three jars already. For me, the primer...

    I can't say that I hate this product, but it isn't my HG by any stretch. My nose and brow were still shinier than I'd expect while using a primer, but the finish is nice on the skin. Perhaps I'm...

    Edited 7/08: While this is a very good mineral makeup primer, and it adds a layer of coverage to your mineral makeup routine, I think it has a little less oil-control than both EM Tinted Silk Dust...

    My nose was shiney by mid-day, and this was in the winter. I love their foundation and blush, but I will pass on this. Aromaleigh and Meow Cosmetics both have better primer.
