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

[diwucy]

I just tried it and it works great! It goes on silky smooth. I really like the feeling of it.

 

[beautifulinside]

What is the deal with this? Does it really have results comparable to Smashbox's primer?

Hm, since you don't have 10 posts yet, you can't see any links, so I won't link you, but if you use the search button or look on top where the stickies are, there is an extensive thread on this. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Hope that helps you!

I think it's very clever. The ingredients in Monistat (or any other gel to powder formulation) are the same as those found in primers. Are people on this board really willing to pay $25+ for a smaller jar of the same stuff? If you're squimish about getting Monistat, try looking for gel to powder baby products. In Australia, you can get liquid "talc", which does pretty much the same thing.

I tried this stuff after reading all the rave reviews about it and I must say that I am amazed by this stuff. I'm loving it and the price is awesome!!

I found this in my local 99 cent store today ... can't go wrong for that price!

I'll try just about anything once

*note to self- walgreens after work...*

I think I would be worried about the ingredients being too harsh for my skin. I tend to get really irritated and dry around my chin if I'm not careful. Anyone with sensitive skin tried this?

 

[beautyforashes]

I dont know if I'd want to either. LOL

 

[suzukigrrl]

someone gave me a tube of this stuff saying it was a good primer. I almost threw it away because I thought it was that gross yeast infection stuff. I think I'll give it a try since it isn't the yeast infection cream! Good thing I didn't throw away that tube.

I have *highly* sensitive skin that tends to be on the dry side. I also have lupus. The Monistat doesn't do anything other than act as a primer to my skin. If you've used another foundation primer, it's really the same thing. Same active ingredients, etc. And, the monistat has NO fragrance at all. If it did, I wouldn't be able to use it because I can't use fragranted things. The huge bottle of Philosophy Purity cleanser that I just bought, I cannot use-- too much fragrance and it burned my skin /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hope that helps!

in fact, the monistat HELPED to sooth some of the itch in my face caused by sensitivity problems /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i've never used that before, but i did use visine on a zit and it worked wonders!

 

[laurie_lu]

It doesn't intimidate me. I've put worse things on my face.

 

[paast10]

is this really ok to use on oily skin? I mean, has it caused breakouts or more oiliness?

Ok, I actually read through all 26 pages of this thread!!! Overall, it seems to be a great product for most people. But I think I should check the dollar stores first since people have found it at some of them. If not, then Walmart it is! I will definitely try this soon. Thank you to everyone who gave their input - its nice to read so many opinions.

I've read a couple pages of this, and not trying to slide in, but what exact type of Monistat would I be looking for? And, also can this be used over mineral makeup?

Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel

I wouldn't think you would want to use it *over* your MMU, but rather *under* it to create a smooth surface for applying your MMU.

 

[paast10]

After reading through the entire thread, I think the results with MMU are mixed. As a MMU user, I am not sure how well this will work. But I have a very oily T-zone so I am willing to give it a try to see if it reduces shine. But definitely it is to be used under any makeup, not over. I dont think its a good idea to bind the makeup to the skin with this on top.

oops, so right; I made a boo-boo; I did mean 'under'. Thanks for clairfying that one. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
