I use this primer alone without any moisturizer. My face tends to get oily at work and moisturizers make it worse. I love how this feels on my skin.

Comments about BareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer:
I'm not sure if I got a bad batch I should try it with another batch but the one I have when you pump it it splashes everywhere it's very watery & oily at the same time, it does dry pretty fast once applied feels like silicone but over all I really don't feel much of a difference on my face or make up.

Comments about BareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer:
Why do I love this product? Mainly because I'm a long time acne sufferer and it's very difficult for me to find makeup that won't cause (extra) breakouts for me, even if it's labeled, "non-comedogenic". This primer does not cause me to have breakouts and it works phenomenally!
Fortunately, I found a place that treats only acne and after 20+ years, I finally feel like I can manage my acne with their regimen. They have a list of products they recommend are safe to use and I stick to only those products. Prime Time happened to be on that list so I tried it out. It keeps my foundation going through my full work day + after school activities with my son + errands. Also a very important note, my oil is reduced when I use it (as I am also blessed with oily skin) and I can get away with using one oil blotter sheet in the day. It's a great feeling not wondering if I'm oily and if I need to find a mirror to check; with this primer, I know my makeup stays in place and oil is at bay.
A lot of people have said the bottle is not good, and at some point that it stops dispensing the product. This is the first time I've bought the bottle, since I've only used the small squeeze tube travel sized ones, and have yet to run into that issue. Took off one-star for that concern. Hope the company changes the design. Other than that, I am very happy with this primer.

Q:
Are the only differences between this and the Prime Time BB Primer-Cream Daily Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 30? Just that it is tinted and has SPF? Does it feel the same and perform the same under powder? I have used the the Prime Time Foundation Primer and loved it. I like the idea of tint and SPF, but only if it feels and performs the same.Asked on 3/26/2018 by Emily from NH1 answer

A:

Q:
What happened to the BB Primer-Creme? and is it coming back? That's the only one I really liked.
But also, I have to agree with what some others have said. The bottle for this is a poor design. After about the first third of the product, so much of it gets left inside and can't come out the pump so I end up needing to open it up and use a q-tip to get it out.Asked on 3/2/2018 by Allison from OR1 answer
A:
