(I'm giving these away!) UPDATE: This contest is now closed and the winner has been notified via email. Check back for a new contest starting soon!
I ordered the Bare Escentuals Prime Time Brightening Primers (Foundation and Eyelid) when they were first available in a kit on the Q. And for a long time, that was one of the only places you could pick it up. But starting in January, both Brightening Primers will be available everywhere. Some locations may even have choices of two Brightening Eye Primers - one in gold and one in pearl! I've only seen the gold, but if you've gotten your hands on the pearl, please tell me all about it!
(Eyelid Primer is on top. The Foundation Primer is on the bottom.)While I reviewed these when I first tried them back in June, I have grown to dig them even more - especially the eye primer.
(The one I am giving away is slightly smaller.)
(The top row has no primer. The bottom row has the Brightening Primer.)
The original Prime Time sets the standard for silicone-based primers and the Prime Time Brightening Foundation Primer is no different. It makes your skin feel as smooth as silk and makeup goes on flawlessly. Since I have dry skin, I luerve how it makes my skin feel perfect; eliminating dry patches on my face (at least eliminating the look of dry patches on my face).The Brightening version of the primer is very similar in feel to the original primer, but it is slightly more lotion-y and a little less gel-y. It has a very brief dry down time, only a few seconds. With a different texture from the original, it may take you a bit to get used to the feel. I find that it spreads easily and that a little goes a long way.
It also helps absorb extra oil and is infused with Vitamins C and E, like the original primer. It also still feels silky smooth on the skin, just like the original. While it doesn't add a huge amount of sparkle or golden tones to your face, it does brighten your skin slightly.
(Brightening Primer is on top, Original Prime Time is on the bottom. One is with a flash and one is without.)Both of these primers are hitting shelves everywhere in January. This isn't going to completely change your makeup or make you look like you are nightclub bound. It will add a little boost of radiance to your skin in a very natural way. It might be just the right thing to perk up winter skin!
