Bare Escentuals bareVitamins Prime TimePrimers are being seen everywhere these days, and why shouldn’t they be? They are the perfect base for your foundation, resulting in a flawless finish! Bare Escentuals‘ new bareVitamins Prime Time is a great primer for both liquid foundations and of course, bareMinerals foundation. Its preservative-free formula is great for all skin types, and will give you the best preparation possible!

Prime Time is designed to combat flaky dryness, rough patches, fine lines, excess oil, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. It is infused with soothing plant extracts, antioxidants, and nourishing vitamins C and E for added age-defying power. Since it is mineral-infused, it won’t make you break out! This primer feels like silk once applied, and will keep away that oily look, making your foundation last longer! All you need is one pump, and you’ll have a beautiful, airbrushed finish!

I purchased this primer a week ago, and I love it! I use bareMinerals Foundation, so I was looking for something that would help it last all day long. Prime Time definitely did the trick! My foundation lasted all day, and I didn’t need to do any touch-ups! I could definitely tell that the primer made a difference, also. It gave me a silky, flawless finish! You can get this primer for $21 here–you won’t be disappointed!
