                Not that silky

                I had gotten a trial size of the prime time original foundation primer. I bought the one that says original poor minimizer.

                And this one is not silky to touch as like the other one.

                I couldnt find this one below in the pic on the order page.

                Very dissatisfied and disappointed

                I’ve been using Bare Minerals since 2009. I will forever love bare minerals. It’s helped me feel more confident in my skin. It’s helped with my rosacea in highschool, college, adulthood, and now motherhood. The old original prime time was soft and buttery. The makeup stayed on my skin all day long. The new formula is sticky and absorbs way too fast! It’s nothing like the old. Now my makeup does not last all day long like it use to. I’m very dissatisfied and disappointed. I REALLY hope you bring back the old formula.

                True original prime time primer

                I am not happy. Discontinuing the original formula was the worst mistake bare minerals ever made! I’ve read the comments too so I’m not alone. I’ve tried your new ones the suck it’s not buttery smooth like the original. So I’m hoping your higher ups can see making room for new formulas by discontinuing a customer favorite is dumb and bring it back. I guess Estée Lauder will get my money for primer now when my last bottle of the “original” original gets empty. Highly disappointed

                Bring back the original formula, PLEASE!!!

                I am so disappointed. The new formula does not spread well, and dries way too fast. I was frustrated with the pump bottle of the original formula because it did not dispense well, but the product itself was great!

                Disappointed with the new formula & packaging

                I thought that Bare Minerals had simply changed packaging, until the thin, watery product came out of the tube. It is hard to control the amount that comes out and hard to spread before it dries up. I’ve used Bare Minerals as long as I can remember, and am really disappointed in this change. I won’t repurchase, I don’t see the benefit anymore. Please bring back the pump AND the original formula!
