Author's Review
I really wish I had found BARE ESCENTUALS years ago when I was much younger and wrinkle free. I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t as I couldn’t have afforded it then.
Well, I’ve found it now and better late than never! I’ve used other primers with NARS being the one most frequently used. I’ll definitely use my NARS until it’s gone (never waste anything that’s good) but after only a few weeks of using Prime Time, I think it’ll take me a long time to use it up.

MY EXPERIENCE
I was never one to use make-up on a daily basis until I found Bare Escentuals. After a few hours of having it on, it bothered me. My face felt sticky and I could tell there was a film of some kind on it. Removing it could take time and frankly, by the time I’m ready for bed, I’d find myself not in the mood or too tired for a good cleansing.
I wear Bare Escentuals all day and my face loves it. After hours of wearing it, I’ll run my hands over the sides of my face and it’s still as smooth as it was when I put it on. There’s no feel of having make-up on my face and yet I know I have it on. I really love that feeling.
Prime Time Foundation Primer comes in a 1 fl oz bottle with a pump which dispenses the liquid gel. My skin quickly soaks it up and leaves a smooth, silky feeling. I’d touch my face in wonderment and couldn’t help but smile thinking, “I feel smooth.” It would even smooth out the eczema on the right side of my face. Speaking of the eczema, I’m down to one rough patch since I started using Bare Escentuals. I’m not sure if it’s due to the change in make-up or the lessening of stress in my life. Whatever the reason, my mirror loves it.
After applying Prime Time Foundation Primer, I’d put my make-up on and yes, it went on great. I cannot rave about this product enough! It makes a fantastic base for your foundation and for those of us who are gently aging, it does make our skin look better and feel better.
I’ve not used a full bottle yet so I don’t know how long it will last. Using only one pump, which is all it takes, it should last a long time. I’ve not experienced any breakout’s, dryness or skin imperfections after using the primer.
