Overall good product
I've never tried this brand of makeup and was very pleased with it. I LOVED that it went on light and smooth for a silky finish. For me it took nearly five minutes to truly dry (i.e., no longer sticky). It felt clean, not tacky. I was disappointed when I used this under true makeup. When I used it u...

Decent primer
The BareMinerals Prime Time Original Blurring Primer smooths out my skin nicely and helps foundation apply more evenly. It feels lightweight and gives a fresh look at first. However, it doesn't control shine for long, the blurring fades after an hour, and I noticed it pilled slightly after applying...

This is probably the first primer I ever used like 15 years ago, and im still using it! I love how it feels on my skin and I love how it keeps my makeup in place. This will always be a favorite of mine!
Absolutely fantastic, 10/10!

bareMinerals kindly sent me this free blurring foundation primer sample through the bzzagent sampling program and I'm so glad they did! I've tried numerous primers over the years and have not had much luck with any of them. From clogged pores to feeling dry, to just not giving the best performance from a primer, I have yet to settle on one that really works well with my skin. Until now - this is such a lightweight and perfect blend for me. It feels hydrating while applying, smooths and blurs fine lines and just settles perfectly into place as a base for the rest of my makeup routine. 100% recommend and will be purchasing in the future!

This BareMinerals Prime Time Original Blurring Foundation Primer is an absolute game-changer, genuinely standing out from every other primer I've ever tried. The first thing you notice is that a little truly goes a long way – a tiny pearl-sized amount is all you need for your entire face. Unlike so many other primers that leave a heavy or sticky residue, this one doesn't leave my skin feeling tacky at all; it creates a wonderfully smooth, velvety canvas. The benefits of owning this product are incredible. My foundation goes on smoothly and flawlessly, and remarkably, it lasts all day long without creasing or fading. I can easily build my makeup on top without worrying about it looking flaky or cakey, which has been an issue with other primers in the past. It genuinely blurs imperfections and creates a perfect base. Absolutely, I would buy this product again and again! It has become an essential step in my makeup routine. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this to all my friends and family looking for a primer that delivers on its promises. It's worth every penny!
Great Primer!
