Review 1 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
hate it
-05.16.13
Quick Take: terrible
I have always bought the original prime time and LOVE it but this last time I bought the prime time oil control and HATE it. Everytime I put it on it leaves white streaks all over my face, even when I shake the bottle before squirting some into my hand and even when I make sure to apply it evenly! I will not waste my money on this product again!!

Review 2 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
Did Nothing to Control Oil
-05.14.13
I have very oily skin and this product did not do anything to control the oil. Actually made it worse. I like bareMinerals foundation, but not this primer.

Review 4 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
-05.05.13
Quick Take: lightweight
I was a little bummed that the face revver upper is gone, but it was replaced by this and I have to say it makes my face soft and you can use less so it's a plus!

Don't waste your money
-05.05.13
No matter how many times I try and use this product it still ends up being a white, streaky, flaky mess on my face. Even after I put foundation over it you can still tell that there's flakiness underneath.

Thank Goodness

Quick Take: lightweight, evens out skintone
I, unfortunately, have a naturally fairly oily face. This definitely not only hides some of the shine, but also when paired with bareminerals matte powder gives a really nice finish leaving your face beautiful and fresh looking. (: I always use bronzer, the matte, and this.

The best!
-04.21.13
This primer is great!!! With other primers my face would get very oily and that would cause my foundation to look really shiny, but with this primer that doesn't happen anymore!! It leaves skin really soft and smooth

Review 9 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
Excellent product
-04.14.13
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing
I've tried all major makeup brands for my oily skin: OC Eight, Urban Decay, Cosmedicine Medi-Matte, Lorac...None work as well as this. It's lightweight, with no pore-clogging silicones. Be sure to apply a thin layer to your face, or else you'll get the peeling that some reviewers mentioned. This, combined with Urban Decay's De-Slick Setting Spray, is a perfect combination, even in hot, August humidity!

Review 10 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
charlieamelie
Good product
-04.10.13
This product was good, however I did find that it didn't work for as long as I thought it would. My problem is oily skin, I thought it would leave my skin matte for at least about 5 hours, but I saw the oil peeking through before the 5 hour mark. This product makes my skin smooth so it's a great primer but didn't work as well for my oily skin.

Review 11 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
Ehhhhhh
-04.08.13
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing
I still have yet to master how to apply this product. My only recommendation would be to apply a VERY thin layer or you wil have chalky white splotched all over your face. As for the oil- control...eh. Not so much, I'm still blotting and powdering a few hours into the day.

Review 12 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
Not good if you moisturize before makeup
-04.07.13
Quick Take: not good with moisturizer or sunblock
I always moisturize and apply sunblock before I apply my primer, and my make up. My dermatologist advise me to always moisturize and always apply sunblock, so I never miss a day, but with this primer I can't do that. Even though I wait a few minutes for my skin to absorb the moisturizer and sunscreen, once I apply the primer it becomes like a paste and it starts to peel off. I even tried skipping the sunblock and only moisturize but it still doesn't work. I haven't had time to go to the store to return it, but I'm going back to my professional from benefit. Hate this product, and I was a fan bareMinerals.

It's okay
-03.28.13
When the primer dries it makes a white film that cracks and peels over your face. I was really disappointed because I have oily skin and it didn't help.

Review 15 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
Left white streaks all over my face!
-03.21.13
Quick Take: terrible
This product is terrible! I'm used to using Prime Time Original, but the store was sold out, hence I picked this up (I have uber oily skin). After applying (same amount I used of original), and letting dry I noticed white streaks all over my face. I returned this and got the original!

narae0822
Fabulous!
-03.12.13
I have tried number of primer but this primer was the best so far. It is instantly absorbed onto skin and doesn't peel off when applying unlike others and keeps my foundation pretty long with my oily skin and sweat and also hides my large pores. What I like about this primer was this doesn't make my face cake even after touch up

Not for me

Review 20 for bareMinerals Prime Time™ Foundation Primer - Oil Control
-02.19.13
Quick Take: fast-absorbing
It didn't really work for me. I have oily skin and I had hoped this primer would work for me but it may have made me oiler. I had to blot 4 times that day D:. I tried it out for five days and I was still oily. It did help my BB cream last a little longer and give ti a more evened out look.
