Good Base for Mineral Makeup for Dry Skin January 6, 2009
Bare Escentuals Prime Time is where you start when preparing your skin to receive Bare Escentuals mineral make-up. BE claims that it's good for all skin types, but I beg to differ. Dry skin...yes! Women with combination or oily skin wouldn't benefit from using this product all over their faces as it is greasy.
Designed to fight dry, flaky skin, fine lines and enlarged pores, it basically evens out your skins texture, leaving a slick, slightly tacky surface for the minerals to adhere to when you apply the makeup. Free of preservatives, you'll not be hurting your skin by using it, but the 'satin-finish' that we dry-skinned girls love may be an oil slick finish for others. Admittedly it's good stuff and even with dry skin, you use it sparingly for the best results. It's said to be 'oil-free', but the antioxidant rich, anti-aging properties from plant extracts does make it quite slippery and for me, oily.
The reason I give it 4-stars versus 5: Great for around your eyes and mouth, Prime Time is certainly something to have on hand, but perhaps not perfect for all over coverage prior to putting on your Bare Escentuals mineral makeup.
 Red rash all over my face - what's IN this product? January 4, 2009
I don't normally have sensitive skin but 2 minutes after putting a tiny drop of this on my face I felt pins & needles pain all over my face ... and red, ugly bubbles are appearing all over my face ... very scary!
What is IN this product ... oh my GOSH .. can't be any NATURAL ingredients, that's for sure!
The best foundation for my foundation... November 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After going back and forth with Clinique foundation some days and the BE foundation others for about a year, I decided to go and have a consultation done at a local salon and spa place which sells all the BE products (they had a special on foundation). It was the best thing I've ever done! I had tried the Prime Time primer before, but I never bought it. Well, the esthetician who did my consult put it on me first (my face felt like silk, no joke!) and then she did my Light foundation, a little Warmth, Clear Radiance on the apples of my cheeks and a little on my nose and then Featherlight Mineral Veil (which has a slight shimmer to it). She gave me a hand mirror, and my honest to goodness reaction was, "It looks just like in the video!" And my friend who was with me laughed, but she agreed that it looked that excellent. I've watched the BE instructional dvd and never could get my make-up to look as good, and I realize now it was because I didn't have the primer. I thought it was because I don't have flawless skin, but the primer really does lay the foundation for the foundation and everything else. I have acne on and off, and it works even on my problem skin. It keeps my face from looking dry and crusty, and my face feels good to touch, too. The rest of the day I felt so good about my complexion. I love this stuff!
I gave it four stars because it's a lot to pay for just 1 oz.

I decided to try Prime Time recently after seeing a review. I am a true BE fan and love their foundation but do not like to purchase items that are not necessary. Today is my second day with it on and it looks great! The first day, I did not put enough own because I thought it may make my face too oily. My skin is peeling due to an acne medication I'm using. Today you can not tell that my face is peeling. My face looks smooth all over. So this is a must for those who are having problems with your makeup looking smooth. And as others have said in their reviews, it helps the mineral foundation go on better.
