Use this before applying foundation. Makeup goes on smoothly, and doesnt settle in your pores. A make up must have

I love Bare Escentuals bareVitamins Prime Time Foundation Primer. What I love about this product is how soft it makes my skin! My skin feels like velvet, even if I have a few pimples. It allows the makeup to stick to my face better and prolongs my makeup by a few hours! I highly recommend this with a good foundation. It is expensive, so make sure you're willing to spend the money.

My main issue with this is the price for the size of the container. It's kind of more than I would usually want to spend. It does last longer than you'd expect because you only have to use a tiny bit but it still makes me hesitant. The product feels so silky and I find it helps smooth skin imperfections like pores or wrinkles. I am around 20 and my mom is in her 50s and she finds this product makes a bigger difference for her so maybe it is more worth it if you are older. I don't find that it makes too much of a difference in the wear time, but it does help application go nice and evenly.

I use all the bare mineral products to apply my makeup because they are all high quality and look good and this product is no exception. You should never apply makeup without applying a primer first and this is a great primer whether you are new to makeup or a pro. It makes your makeup go on very smooth and keeps it matte and makes it last a lot longer. This one also is great for acne prone skin and does not cause/prevents breakouts. It also makes your makeup look a lot more photogenic as it minimizes pores and prevents make up from settling into creases or wrinkles. This primer is also great for priming your eye lids before apply eyeshowdow because eyelids can get pretty oily if you don't prime them. I also love how this is more of a gely primer and not a cream so it absorbs a lot faster and you can apply on top of it immediately. I would definitely recommend this multifunction primer to anyone who wears foundation or eyeshadow.

I am impressed by how well this primer works to even out my makeup application. I am even more impressed that it doesn't seem to irritate my sensitive skin or cause breakouts (to which I am very prone). I have used this primer both underneath the other bare minerals products, as intended, but also with other brands of liquid foundation. It works well with both types of foundation, so I find it quite versatile. When I use this product, it makes a noticeable (to me at least) difference in how evenly the makeup goes on. I will say that "less is more" -- too much and I get a greasy look. This is no problem though; I just make sure to use just a few drops -- which means it lasts forever too!

I love the way this primer feels on your skin, it's a soft silky feeling. It does help makeup stay on longer and makeup goes on smoother when applied. It makes a difference even when applying it with only moisturizer. I use it every day with no bad reactions.

I was skeptical at first. . . just be sure that you don't use too much of the product.  If you do, you may not be satisfied with the results.  I have 'mature' skin (okay, I'm over 50) and so there are some challenges that I face due to age. . . this product gives me a nice smooth surface to apply my foundation.  Good product. . .

I just got this product last week.  I love the way it feels on my face.  Just a small drop does the entire face.  The foundation goes on smoothly over this and it seems to make the srinkles fade.  I love the silky feel it gives my face.  I am glad i bought this and will continue to use it as a daily part of my make up routine.

This is a great primer.  I have tried other brands of primers in the past and was not fond of them. I was really hesitant to try this one, but I love bare escentuals so I tried it.  I am glad I did.   It goes on smoothly and is quickly absorbed into the skin.  My skin feels so soft after apply it and my bare escentuals foundation goes on so well over this product.  I love it and would recommend it to anyone

*As a TV reporter, it's important for me to look my best in front of the camera. With hot lights and running around town, you have to find the best quality makeup for your skin. * *I wear makeup every day and have fairly dry skin. To prep my face, I cleanse, moisturize, SPF, then add primer--all before the makeup.* *-----------* *As a person with dry skin, it's hard to find a makeup primer that doesn't emphasize the flakiness. Other brands I've used include Lancome, Clinique and Smashbox primer. The top two brands I use includ this BareMinerals product and Smashbox. But this one gives me the same bang, for fewer bucks--a major plus!* Other than that, this makes my skin feel very soft and gives it a good finish before my foundation. Give this one a try. You'll love how it feels and makes your makeup truly last!
