                I love this product and don't use anything else for a primer. It goes on smoothly and has good coverage. Just a small amount goes a long way. I can really tell a difference between using primer and not using primer for how well my mineral foundation lasts throughout the day.

                Comments about BareMinerals/Bare Escentuals bareVitamins Prime Time Foundation Primer:

                I love Bare Escentuals and have been using their products for 5-6 years. I started using the Prime Time primer when I began working at a coffee shop because it often got hot enough that my makeup would slide. In the beginning, this stuff was amazing. It helped my makeup look smoother and last a lot longer. I have dry skin that peels almost constantly (and I am an avid moisturizer), this primer helped ease the appearance of flakes, which was a God-send. I've been through many bottles. However, my last two bottles have been inconsistent and unimpressive. It seems like the product has separated, so I shake it, but that doesn't seem to help much. I've noticed that my pores are clogged and that I break out on days I don't use this product. So I'm taking a long-term break from it. If you're interested in another option, I'm currently using Urban Decay's Deslick. Spray before makeup and then after, it lasts all day and doesn't clog your pores. I hope I can go back to the Prime Time eventually, but as for right now, I'm unimpressed.
