Comments about BareMinerals/Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Prime Time Oil Control Foundation Primer:
pump dispenser isn't very good, it shoots out with too much pressure, I have gotten the product shot in my hair, clothes, and sink. I like the squeeze tube design better like the little starter set came with.

Comments about BareMinerals/Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Prime Time Oil Control Foundation Primer:
I have very oily skin and this did not work at all. It did absolutely nothing for me except hurt my wallet.. It didn't even help my makeup go on smoother and last longer. Nothing at all. Maybe if you have normal to slightly oily skin this would work but for me it didn't. my roomate likes it and she has combo skin with some dry patches and a little shiny in her T-zone so apparently it works for some people I am just not one of them

Comments about BareMinerals/Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Prime Time Oil Control Foundation Primer:
I have been using bare minerals for about 2 years now but I never thought I needed prime time. When I saw that there was an oil control version I thought I would give it a shot because my face can get pretty shiny throughout the day. This makes a really big difference. I still get a little shine on my forehead but not nearly as bad as without it. I have only been using it for a week but so far I have not had any bad reactions. My only complaint is the bottle is so small and I feel like I will run out soon.

Comments about BareMinerals/Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Prime Time Oil Control Foundation Primer:
I'm very hesitant to use primers as they usually make my pores feel clogged or greasy. This product is FANTASTIC and it feels so smooth on your skin and the Bare Minerals foundation powder just glides on and doesn't settle into my pores. I'm so happy I tried this product!
