New Bare Escentuals Oil Control Foundation Primer

Suzanne Prochaska, RN, BSN — Tue, 19 May 2009 12:49:56 +0000

For those of us with oiler and/or acne prone skin, Bare Escentuals has a new Oil Control Primer. The official name is Bare Escentuals Prime Time Oil Control and it is an oil-free, water based primer.

Here is the scoop from Bare Escentuals: “developed for oily, sensitive, or problem-prone skin to instantly smooth the complexion prior to bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation. The oil, fragrance, and silicone–free formula is clinically proven to control shine throughout the day, as well as to regulate oil and refine pores with minerals and natural plant extracts. The lightweight primer glides on seamlessly—leaving the skin matte, refreshed, and ready for foundation.”

Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Modified Corn Starch, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Zinc PCA, Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, Silica, Calcium Silicate, Sclerotium Gum, Citric Acid.

It is currently a Sephora exclusive, where it is getting mixed, but mostly positive reviews. I am looking forward to trying it out, but my initial feeling is that anyone who has worn and can wear a primer with silicone will be disappointed in this one. This formula is for those of us who cannot use the silicone based primers because of breakouts or very oily skin. If you have normal to dry skin or can use the other primers with silicone, stick with them. Otherwise you may want to try this out – it is probably better than nothing if you want ot use a primer.

Philosophy The Present Mineral Makeup Primer

Philosophy the present is Philosophy’s makeup primer . They call it a “clear makeup” and it can be worn either under foundation as a primer or alone. This is the only primer that I have used regularly that I feel did not encourage my skin to breakout.

Philosophy Supernatural Primer

Suzanne Prochaska, RN, BSN — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:09:20 +0000

The philosophy supernatural primer is called Philosophy The Supernatural Poreless, Flawless and it has an SPF of 15.

It is a tinted makeup primer that can also be used alone as a tinted oil-free moisturizer. Like other primers, it will enhance the appearance by making it appear smoother and it will create a barrier between your skin (and skin care products) and your makeup. It will also diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles because the thick smooth formula fills them in. Because this one is tinted, it will also help to make your skin tone look smoother and more even.
