Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel as a Foundation Primer...

[makeupmommy]

sounds like it could be worth a try

 

[Kookie-for-COCO]

I am using it now and love it!!!

I heard this before. . .it feels just like my smashbox primer. it has the same active ingredients. I might try it. . .keyword: might lol

 

[nansaidh]

I love to try inexpensive "knock-offs" of products, I'll give it a try!

Well I bought some after reading this post, granted I have never used a primer before but I was amazed at how well my makeup stayed on. The makeup went on smooth as can be and lasted the whole day with very little touch-ups.

I tried the monistat for a couple of weeks. Worked fine at first then I noticed it began to make the tiny wrinkles under my eyes kind of fold. Stopped using it on my eyes but it does stop fabric from irritating my lumpectomey scar.

I got the "Tip of the Week" newsletter from E.L.F. cosmetics (Shop Eyes Lips Face) and the tip was submitted by someone named Dharma who got it from "a makeup discussion board" she's on. It's exactly the same topic, about the anti-chafing gel. Dharma, are you here on MuT? If so, congratulations on winning a prize for your tip!

OK. I went and bought this today. I'm going to use it tomorrow. I'm excited, I used a little on my hand, it should make a pretty smooth canvas! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've been using this & it's wonderful! It really makes your skin soft & smooth. My foundation goes on much smoother & it looks more flawless. Something Ill be buying a tube of when I'm out of my sample.

I'm going to try this if I can find it in the stores. I use smashbox but it makes my face feel heavy after a few hours.

i bought some tonite and gonna try it tomorrow morning. Although, upon purchasing the male cashier gave me the oddest look when he rang it up...hrm, that was a bit uncomfortable.

 

[Trisha.]

^that's why I'm afraid to buy a read tube..lol.

I've been using this for a while as an eye shadow primer, or all over the face when I know I need my makeup to stay on extra long. Silicones have a tendency to make me break out majorly, though, so I try not to use it very often. Still, it is definitely a cheap and effective primer.

Someone actually did a full-blown report on Monostat as a face primer and in it they explain why it works so well (and where to find it when it's sold out - yay). Here's the link if you want more information:

Sounds odd, but I will try. The price is certainly better, if nothing else.

 

[macupjunkie]

I don't know if this has been asked already.. but I would like to transfer this stuff out of the monistat tube /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but it's so thick in consistancy that I can't put it into my empty smashbox pump, if I put it in, it'll just stick to the sides and never make its way down as the normal primers do. So what did you guys find useful, I would really like to use a pump bottle thing that looks like the fancy primer stuff /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but iunno, whatever works i guess. ideas?

I've used this and Smashbox Photo Finish Primer and cannot tell the difference--except for the enormous price difference.

 

[demanda]

Wow I've never heard of this! I am almost out of Photofinish (I love it) and I'm definitely gonna give this a try.

 

[lemona]

i do need to try this.
