    The first time I used this product, I hated it. Then, I let my moisturizer set for several minutes and only used ONE pump for my entire face working very quickly. After it set, my makeup went on...

    I was skeptical at first on this product because of the mixed reviews... I found it on eBay because it was a new package and thus cheaper than buying from Ulta or Sephora. A little does go a LONG...

    Like most people have said, this balled up off my face no matter what I did. I took someone's suggestion about dabbing it on the T-zone and it made no difference. I tried using a sponge, using...

    I have to say that I am truly amazed by all the negative reviews for Prime Time Oil Control Primer. This is my HG primer. I have super-oily skin, and this works as well as MK's Oil Mattifier,...

    I love the original Prime Time, so I thought this would be great for summertime oilies. It felt light and cool going on, but dried somewhat sticky on my skin and flaked in areas. I tried it under...

    Oh my gosh, this item is horrible. I used it for the first time on a bridal party and I can't believe I even got it. It's nothing like the prime time regular one. That one I do like but somehow...

    This product doesn't hold what it promises. It's specially formulated for oily skin, so you expect to have shine-free skin all day, right? Well, it left my skin shiny/greasy after only a couple of...

    I got a great tip from a BE SA and this is what she said all the primer users are doing wrong and what they should be doing instead: 1) "They use more than one pump and they rub it all over...

    Yuck.... one of the few products I have ever bought on a whim (w/o checking MUA either!!). It has a sticky feeling to it, and doesn't dry quickly. It's a no for me ... don't waste your $$$ on it !!

    Nice idea B.E., but a great failure! The primer is not effective at all - and it's actually quite gross. I bought it for all the wonderful things written on the bottle - silicone free, etc....

    I usually use prime time, so when I heard that Bare Escentuals came out with a primer that controlled oil, I was pretty excited. When I used the product, I was actually quite disappointed. First of...
