    Like product, Hate Packaging

    I have used PT Primer for many years, but am not a fan of the new container. (To be fair, I didn't love the older pump style either because the pump would stop working after awhile but it was easier to unscrew the top.) With this one, I cracked open the container after the pump stopped working only to find a large amount of primer that had collected and dried into a big, gummy, useless blob. It's not inexpensive, so I was pretty disappointed to find so much waste. With a tube, I'm able to trim the end off, giving access to more of the product when it gets low. I like PT Original but for now I'm going back to one that comes in a tube.

    Love this Bare Minerals Primer

    This Prime Time Original Foundation Primer is really great. I have been using Bare Minerals for many years, and this primer feels as good as or even better than the original! And I loved the original so much that I hoarded some fearing I would never find another as good. Using this primer is so easy, just a little goes a long way. My face feels amazing after I put it on. Smooth when I touch my face, comfortable, not greasy or sticky, and my skin doesn't feel dry or pulled tight. Then when I use foundation, it goes on smooth and even. Primer fills in some wrinkles, and makes me look younger, which I love too. Try it, you will like it too! (BTW, I'll be 78 this fall. I began using Bare Minerals 20 plus years ago)

    Keeps My Makeup Smooth All Day ✨

    I’ve been using this primer under my foundation and it makes a big difference! It goes on silky without feeling heavy, helps my makeup blend evenly, and keeps it from settling into fine lines. I love that it gives me a smooth base without being greasy, and it lasts all day. Perfect for a natural finish.

    Not my favorite

    I personally think this primer makes my foundation look clumpy and not smooth… I will definitely use the pore minimizer in the future.
