When it comes to make-up primers, there’s often mixed reviews. Some make-up artists swear by them, others will disagree. For me, I’m still not sure – some work, some don’t, it’s as simple as that.
I recently got my hands on a new primer range from Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals Prime Time Brightening Foundation and Eyelid Primer, due to be released in February 2011. The range consists of a brightening foundation primer and a brightening eyelid primer.
The Prime Time Brightening Foundation is claimed to be an innovation because it simply contains a face brightener and primer in one. With combined light reflecting pearls too, it helps brighten your complexion as well as giving your skin a satin finish. I will admit I haven’t yet tried this on my face, but after applying it to my hand, it did feel silky soft.
The eyelid primer is available in two colours – original and pearl (right) and it’s fantastic because you can get away with wearing it alone without any eye shadow. I also applied it to my hand in the morning and was surprised to see that it was still visible later on in the evening.
Both products come with added Vitamins C and E and are formulated without any preservatives, oils and fragrances – great if you have sensitive skin. If you suffer from having an oily t-zone like I do, then the face primer is useful because it says it absorbs excess oil from your skin too.
You can get the foundation primer for £19 and the eyelid primer for £16 as of February 2011, from Bare Escentuals boutiques in selected department stores and online at
