Bare Escentuals Barevitamins Prime Time

Pros: Creates an ultra smooth canvas for your skin~~prepares it for make-up

Cons: Cost could be a factor

The Bottom Line: A great primer for use before putting make-up on

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 ...

Pros: unscented, 1oz bottle, non-greasy

Cons: pricey

The Bottom Line: I’d recommend that you at least get a sample from the Primer and use it before you buy it.

Review: When I decided to give Mineral makeup a try, I read that Prime Time by BE is a must. I was a bit skeptical about paying $21.00 for a 1oz bottle but all the reviews I read about the Primer were good ones, and the 1oz bottle is supposed to last you for a ...

Pros: Creates a smooth canvas for Bare Minerals

Cons: Doesn't do all it promises.

The Bottom Line: This is great for anyone who uses Bare Minerals or other mineral makeup...acne or not.

Review: Bare Minerals is a great makeup, but it can have a dry and patchy look if your skin isn't moisturized and smooth when you apply it. A good moisturizer and primer can fix that. There are plenty of mositurizers out there, and Bare Escentuals just solved ...

Pros: Nourishing for your skin, great base for your foundation.

Cons: Wish the bottle was larger!

Review: I was pleased to see a primer from Bare Escentuals with added benefits for my skin- vitamins. This primer makes my skin feel pampered and soft, and gives it a perfect base on which to apply my mineral makeup. There's no pull, drag or patching of my ...

Pros: easy to use, apply

Cons: no major ones

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is this is a solid 4 star face primer.

Review: Though I have a foundation primer that I love, it was the holidays and I at that time I always love trying new things rather than ordering staple beauty products over and over again. I was curious about the Bare Escentuals line of primer mainly because ...

Pros: Softens dry skin, creates smooth face for mineral makeup application

Cons: Pricey, only sold in 1 ounce bottles

The Bottom Line: If you're a mineral makeup user then you will love this product. Your makeup will blend better and your skin will look smoother.

Review: You've probably heard this before and it's completely true.. once you start using a foundation primer, you can never go without it again! I first discovered foundation primer when I got a little sample packet of it at Sephora. Now I can't imagine ...

Pros: easy to use, makes application of foundation smoother, dries immediately

Cons: doesn't make my wrinkles disappear (darn!)

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this product to people who use mineral make-up and would like to improve the appearance of their foundation.

Review: I've been using Bare Escentuals make-up for almost a year now. While it's not difficult to use, there is definitely a learning curve. One key thing to always remember - less is more! A month ago, I decided to break down and buy some primer to use ...

Pros: Makes skin softer, no odor, non-greasy

Cons: Barely controls oil, doesn't minimize pores, ridiculously small bottle for price

The Bottom Line: Didn't make a difference in the application/look of the makeup so I don't think it is worth the price.

Review: So I bought this in hopes that it would make the BE mineral foundation last longer on my face without disappearing. I have oily skin with larger pores around my nose area, but mostly smooth and clear with the occasional breakout. The foundation always ...

Pros: None

Cons: Does not work. Leaves my skin oily and irritated. Does not smooth out skin.

Review: This does not work for me.I have average skin - not too oily, not too dry. I have average pores too - some are large in some areas like around my nose but the majority of my face is normal.I was looking for a foundation primer that would ...
