Reviews For bareMinerals Prime Time BB Primer-Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Love this Primer
This primer is really light and my skin absorbs it almost immediately. It leaves skin very soft, not greasy, and ready for makeup. I even use it under my eyes and haven't experienced any irritation at all.

Pls bring back the fair shade
The light shade doesn’t match my fair skin tone. Please bring back the ‘fair’ shade.

Surprisingly good primer
Nice color tinted primer. I can wear alone or under my makeup. It really keeps makeup from settling into lines and is not greasy or shiny. Nice feel on the face, light and with a 30 SPF I don't have to wear sun screen underneath. It is very affordable and I wasn't expecting much do to it's price but am very pleasantly surprised. Would definitely buy again.

Love it!
Love this primer! Goes on so creamy. Adds a touch of smoothness when I put my makeup over it. Also just helps my makeup stay on longer and looking fresh.

Feels Great!
I love the lite feel on my face after moisturizer. It matches perfectly under the Bare Minerals makeup. I have used it for years and love, love, love it.

A new favorite that may soon become a staple
The bareMinerals Prime Time BB Primer is a recent discovery and a new favorite. I love that it works well as a primer, and also as a BB cream it blurs imperfections and makes the skin look smooth and clear. It works wonderfully as a primer, but I often use it even when I am not applying makeup on top of it, because it works so well as a BB cream. Over the years I have found that it’s very difficult for me to find a decent primer for my skin, it’s dehydrated but also acne-prone and oily. This is the one primer that my skin seems to like, so I will continue using it and make it my staple. For me the design of the bottle is also travel-friendly, as I can fit it easily into a small toiletry bag, its hard plastic exterior is easy to sanitize with a spritz of rubbing alcohol in the age of COVID, and I don’t have to worry about bacteria getting into it.

Impressive stuff
This is by far the best face primer I’ve ever used. It goes on with a little bit of a tint that is quickly absorbed into the skin and gives a lovely glow before applying the rest of my make up. I really like it and highly recommend.

Prime Time
I am very pleased with this product. Have a tip for people using it. Use a facial sponge, spray the Bare Minerals on the sponge take the prime off of the sponge with fingers and apply to the face. You will never waste this product again squirting all over the place. Finally, take the sponge with remaining product and use to smooth all over the face. This works remarkably well.

A favorite for years
I have used this primer for years. It is lightweight and provides lasting sunblock protection, despite my oily skin. I use bareMinerals powders and foundations over the primer, and periodically blot when I'm shiny. Overall, this is a great product for the price and performance.

Perfect primer.
This primer is great alone or under your liquid or powder foundation. It’s light, blends easily, and doesn’t break out my acne prone skin.

Need more colour options
Goes on smooth but it makes my olive toned skin gray :(

Packaging is the only problem, but a real one
Agree with other reviewers that the packaging will keep me from buying again. OK at first but when you reach the last third you have to open to get the product out. Since it's quite creamy, it's a mess (you need to shake the bottle upside down), and I ended up discarding it because of that, even though there was still quite a lot of product left. Really a shame because the tint (light for me) is perfect, and it sets to a very attractive matte finish, perfect for combination/oily skin. Will buy aging only if it comes in a tube, it's far too thick for a pump dispenser. Ideally a 2 oz. tube so it will last longer.

pump dispenser needs improvement
I really like this, but by the third time using it, I began having trouble with the pump dispensing the product. Not sure if I will buy again unless they change the pump bottle for a tube.

Light and airy makeup and sunscreen in one
Love this BB primer and sunscreen! When I am not going out, I put it on for the day and for a sunscreen! When I am going out, I wear it under Bareminerals makeup!

Good product
Didn't feel like it reduced oil at all, but it did allow my makeup to last longer. Good but not great product.

Use Prior to Foundation
I use this and the Glo pressed powder foundation. They work great together.

Soft Skin 101
Bare Minerals first came out with their original primer and I didn’t think I needed it, but after some consultation I found it had many benefits that would serve me as I got older. Now with the B.B. cream added it’s even better!!! My skin is so soft to the touch and I have that extra layer of protection! My Bff uses it alone when in a hurry!!!

A fan of BE!
I like most BE products. It has a light feel and has spf which is must. I am fair and bought the lightest tint. I let it dry and use BE mineral powder with spf 15 over. I have sensitive skin along with mohs surgery for skin cancer and have found that BE is the best makeup for my skin.

good for everyday use
It is a good everyday primer. I noticed my skin is soft and moisturized after the first use. I would buy it again.
