    This is great stuff!!

    This Prime Time Primer works beautifully with the bare minerals mineral foundation. I helps the minerals have a surface to "stick to" but using a brush with them in a circular motion makes the minerals slightly creamy and they blend so nicely with your skin.

    Favorite Primer!

    This is by far my favorite primer! It does 2 things for me: it minimizes the pores on my nose and helps my foundation to go on silky smooth.

    Works for me

    I use to have really oily skin. Now it's more like combination/oily. This stuff works well for the oiliness. The primer in it i forgot to notice how well that's working. I know it's much better than what I was using before that was from a different company.
