Is Prime time by Bareminerals any good?

If your face is naturally oily I wouldn't suggest it but since my face isn't oily it works great for me!

I've combo skin, is there any primers you'd recommend?

It worked well for me, I'm combination dry/oily skin and use the bm matte foundation over it, so it hydrated my dry spots and the bm kept my oily spots at bay. It provides a nice, dewey canvas for product, but it doesn't have the smoothing effect of a silicone based primer, and in turn doesn't have that heavy silicone feel. Its quite light. I think it works best under powder foundation of any kind.

For combo skin, when I'm using liquid foundation or bb cream, I use a hydrating primer on my cheeks, and a silicone based primer on my t-zone. Kind of a pain to buy two primers, but it is different skin types so I feel I get better results using specific products for each type. I use hard candy sheer envy primer or clarins instant smooth for my t zone, and the new almay cc illuminating primer on my cheeks! I'd highly recommend the almay primer, its very hydrating and gives a very pretty glow to the skin.

I really like Prime Time, but do agree with Haley in that it's not the best for our oily friends out there.
Some nice primers for combo skin are as follows:
- Clinique Pore Minimize Instant Perfector
- MAC Mattifying Gel
- Smashbox Photo Finish
- Benefit Porefessional

I've been looking at that primer online, a friend said it's really good. I work in quite a fast paced job and I need something to keep my makeup on and not let it slide!
