I liked the original primer enough, but but I have combination skin to extremes. My dry patches have oil slicks, don't ask me how it's possible it just is. So when I saw the improved product that promised to control oil and shine, I thought that would make a great product just about perfect! I should have fed my twenty dollars to a goat, at least I would have gotten a laugh. This is not a primer. It's a watery feeling film that makes your skin feel slimy and clogged up, without actually holding on to any powder. You end up using twice as much powder as you should because there's no PRIMING effect from the primer, and it actually makes the shine worse. I was NOT happy with this product, but I like the original and I will be using that in the future.

I hate this stuff. I've read a few reviews saying the old formula flaked off their face, which is what mine does, so I don't know if I have the old formula or what, but I just got it a month ago, and I've hated it every day. You have to rub it in very quickly before it dries and starts flaking, and if you rub it in too much, you start rubbing it off. It did nothing for my oil, and it made my makeup look chalky where I didn't rub it in right.

I love BM and use the foundation, concealer, and bronzer so I figured I would love this product. Wrong! It is like using nothing at all. Definitely not oil control, not sure that works as a primer either. I went with MAC BB cream prep+prime and love it! Sorry Bare Minerals.

I'm a 50 year old woman who has always had oily skin and am now suffering the indignation of peri-menopausal acne! This primer controls the oil (although my nose still gets a bit shiny), keeps my makeup fresh, and does not aggravate my acne! I LOVE it and won't put makeup on without it.
