    Very dissatisfied and disappointed

    I’ve been using Bare Minerals since 2009. I will forever love bare minerals. It’s helped me feel more confident in my skin. It’s helped with my rosacea in highschool, college, adulthood, and now motherhood. The old original prime time was soft and buttery. The makeup stayed on my skin all day long. The new formula is sticky and absorbs way too fast! It’s nothing like the old. Now my makeup does not last all day long like it use to. I’m very dissatisfied and disappointed. I REALLY hope you bring back the old formula.

    True original prime time primer

    I am not happy. Discontinuing the original formula was the worst mistake bare minerals ever made! I’ve read the comments too so I’m not alone. I’ve tried your new ones the suck it’s not buttery smooth like the original. So I’m hoping your higher ups can see making room for new formulas by discontinuing a customer favorite is dumb and bring it back. I guess Estée Lauder will get my money for primer now when my last bottle of the “original” original gets empty. Highly disappointed

    Disappointed…

    The original primer was the best of any brand I’ve ever bought. My makeup looked as good at the end of the day as it did when I applied it in the morning. The new formula has a different texture, my makeup looks dull after I apply it and I’m oily after only a few hours! I really hate having to search for another brand.

    Why in the world did you get rid of original primer

    I hate this primer. It’s so dry and just terrible. I’m so very fit I can’t get the original prime time primer anymore. It was my favorite produce and went so well under all your make up products. This is just unusable. Makes my skin drier and makeup goes on worse than if I had used nothing.

    Not the original formula

    This product was always my favorite primer but now I’ll have to find another brand. The consistency is sticky and watery definitely not velvety like described in the advertising and it’s definitely not improved formulation. It’s now a whole different product. It did not blur my pores and It dried very sticky and blotchy. Disappointed is a understatement.
