    Works great but the smell…

    I am fair skinned and my face has red undertones. This product helps to correct this. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the smell. It has a distinct smell thst is not pleasant. Once I put on my BM tinted moisturizer, the smells goes away. I will continue to buy as it is the only product that works. BM- what is the smell????

    Good primer

    It didn't really help with the redness that I have on my face. But it did help the makeup stick and not go anywhere.

    Idea is great but not seeing it

    I think it’s too lightweight and needs more of what is supposed to make it work. I do not see a difference I tried half of my face with compared without primer and no difference. What I did notice was that my foundation, also bare minerals, the coverage was thicker. So it gives the appearance that there is less redness but I had to blend my foundation more. It’s like the foundation stuck to my face more because it clinging to the primer so it was giving full coverage. I think the primer formula just needs more concentration of what it’s supposed to do. Pics show half with primer and the other is with foundation.

    I wish I could give less than one star

    Having lived with a Rudolph complexion (meaning my nose is ALWAYS red), I was excited to see Bare Minerals come out with a primer that should correct the redness. However, this wasn't the primer that could do the job. Also, the "fragrance" of the primer is horrible, and put me off using it. So, like others I have tried and discarded, it will sit in my drawer until I can come to terms with the cost, and pitch it.

    Wish It Were Better

    The redness-reducing primer doesn’t seem to reduce much of the redness on my face. It takes a little longer to dry than original Prime Time primer, and it’s a bit sticky until it dries (sticks to brushes). It is good for keeping powder on my face and prevents oiliness for a long time.
