RATING (out of 5 stars):
3.5 stars
COST: $18
THE SKINNY:
bareMinerals Prime Time Primer Shadow comes in a variety of great
tints (six to be exact) that work beautifully. I tested “Toasted
Almond” which was a great base shade.
What
is pretty neat about this primer is that you can wear it alone or
with other shadow on top. The color was so nice in my sample that I
just added some liner and I was ready to go.
But
then I thought about the purpose of this primer and wore it a second
day with a shadow. It did the job and held the shadow in place
nicely, but it seemed like a waste to hide the colored primer under
something else.
For
$18, you get a dual threat product that is a great light primer and
shadow. Don't even bother adding another shadow with this primer and
you have an all-day look with little fuss.
The
downside? I really prefer a product that I don't have to apply with
my hands. It goes really clean and smooth but then I have tinted
fingers. (Ick!)
KEEP OR TOSS: This would be a
great travel product (fewer items to pack). But for daily use, I will
probably stick to my all-time favorite eye primer from Urban Decay.
CHECK IT OUT: You can see all of
the colors in the bareMineralsPrime Time Primer Shadow line and, read other reviews and buy direct
from Bare Escentuals.
