Love this original Primer formula! So smooth. Perfect under liquid or loose powder foundation!
I don't know how you can call this product "Prime Time Original" Foundation Primer. This is nothing like the real "Original Primer". The Original Primer had a gel consistency and the pump worked. When I read that Bare Minerals brought back the Original Primer I was thrilled. Until I bought it. I bought the first one at an Ulta store. The first time I used it, the pump didn't pump anything but air, then suddenly it squirted out an oily substance that totally missed my hand! I tried again and the stuff that came out was oily and runny. I tried it for a few days. I never knew how much product would come out, or if any would dispense. I took it back to Ulta and told them there must be something wrong with this because it's not supposed to have this consistency and the pump should work. They exchanged it. I tried to use the new one and the same thing. I wondered if they got a bad batch. So, then I ordered it directly from Bare Minerals. Same result! The "new" Original isn't like the "old" Original. I had been using the old "Original" since it first came out. I know what it's supposed to look like, feel like, and how it's supposed to work. This product is not it. It doesn't look like, feel like, or work like the old product did. Why make customers try to believe you brought back an old product when it's not? I'm 72 years old and I wasted a lot of money on a product that's an imitation of the real "Original". It won't happen again.

The pump dispenser barely works and the formula feels more grainy/gel like. I still had some primer left from the tube version of the product (which I loved!), and did a side by side just to make sure. Super disappointed in the change.
Love this product.
