This went on smooth, but as I started applying my foundation it began to ball up and flake off. I couldn't get it to "behave" so I ended up just washing my entire face and starting over without a primer.
I went back to the boutique and exchanged it for the original primer, which does not flake off at all.

Made me break out :-(
PostedAugust 6, 2012
I have never tried a primer before, but decided to give it a try. I tend toward oily and sensative skin. At first everything was fine, but toward the end of the day my face felt like it was burning. When I washed my face that evening there were blotches all over my face that really hurt :-( The painful blotches stayed for a week even though I didn't use any more primer or even wear makeup all that week. No amount of moisturizer helped calm the burning feeling either. Honestly, I haven't been that embarrassed about my skin since puberty.
All other bareMinerals products I've tried, I've loved . . . but I definately wouldn't recommend this one.

I have always had issues with oily, sensative skin so I thought I'd give this primer a try. It was the worst experience I've ever had with a beauty product. I put it on and it was fine at first, but by the end of the day my face felt like it was on fire! I was desperate to get home and wash my face it burned so bad. When I did wash it off there were splotches of red all over my face . . . and it was painful. Very painful. The splotches lasted an entire week before they were completely gone. I haven't been that embarrassed about my complextion since grade school :-( I didn't even want to go leave the house . . .
I love lots of bareMinerals products, but I will never purchase this again. Luckily, I was able to return it for store credit.

Exactly what I needed!

I have a very oily t-zone, and usually I can't go an hour after putting on makeup before the oil starts to show, especially on my forehead. But the primer really absorbed the oil, and I can go all day without having to worry about it. My foundation didn't smear/smudge as badly either, and it minimized my pores. This product was basically everything I wanted it to be!
