bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer Review

After seeing this product being hyped and loved by so many blogger and vlogger I grabbed it as my first full sized purchased from BareMinerals. However I think I over hyped this in my mind too much and was a left a little disappointed.

Very cute in it's dumpy white bottle with pump dispenser covered with a clear lid containing a clear, thick silicone like gel liquid. Once applied this doesn't ball up or remain tacky so can be worn under makeup or on it's own as it leaves the skin feeling smooth and silky.

Apply foundation is a breeze over top and it does hold it in place for the duration of the day without allowing any oily patches to break through and keeps the dry areas hydrated. However this is nothing that a cheaper alternative from a local stockist like Farmers or a chemist stock, it did nothing breath taking to warrant the price tag of $34 for 50ml to be completely honest.

Maybe it was due to my skin being combination of oily and dry that I never saw such an epic result that I have heard about so much. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to re-purchase when I get through it but I am opting other primers over this one at the moment so that might be a while.

I love this primer to death! Quite literally as when i get to to the bottom I scrape out every last drop!!! The Neutralizing formula is silky smooth and light, it kind of reminds me of a light BB cream. It reduces redness well on my cheeks (which is why i brought it), so I was super stoked that it did what it promises. It dries to a smooth finish (not tacky at all) and I have used many foundations over it and it helps minimize any sink in on my pores too. Just recently used the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Stick over it and loved the finish!!! This is one that I restock on continuously!!

I was given a 15ml sample when in Aus and I aboslutely love this! It's a gel and it definitely does hide my large pores and feels so silky to touch. It also provides a great base for my foundation and helps my makeup last longer, I have oily skin and this primer is a bonus for foundation staying power for me.

This is my new favourite Primer. I have oily - combination skin and find this primer really helps the rest of my makeup stay put all day. The clear gel is pumped out of the bottle and you only need one pump. spreads well and absorbs well too. the small bottle lasts and lasts, which is great, as I may cry when it runs out.

I bought this online as I get really oily skin and I wanted something to keep my foundation on. It does a pretty good job of this. You don't need heaps, but it dries quickly so you need to work with it quickly. The only issue I have is it is pretty expensive for such a small bottle and I ran out really quickly.

This was one of the first primers I have used and didn't really find it made any difference. I love all the other products ihave used from bare minerals and I'm pretty sure I ended up just throwing this one out. It's a clear gel that you pump out and apply it to your skin I couldn't really notice any different before or after my foundation was applied, nor did I find my make up lasted longer .
