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

[JoAnnAtkinson]

Bought it and loving it!!!:rockwoot: Makes my skin feel velvety smooth and "fills in" the lines and pores. Absolutely prepares your face for your foundation!!!! No need to spend High $$$$ on anything else. You can get it at Walmart!

However, now watch the price go up when they figure out we like if for our faces, instead of between our legs. LOL LOL That is the way it usually works! :bawling:

Ive been using this before it was even posted on this board & am still loving it. I know most of you prob use it under MU but I also smooth a small amount over my pores after foundation application. My pores almost disappear when I do this.

has anyone used it past its expiration date? I'm not quite sure what can expire in it.

does anyone know where to buy this in Canada?

I see this alot and was wondering if its for oily skin? I have oily skin and wear a powder foundation or a mineral foundation and was wondering if this would be good to use underneath to control oilys? Also does it help with pores? Thanks everyone Amy

I didnt think primer ever went good with a powder foundation??? I always thought it ment to applie underneath a creme foundation. Anytime I tried applying a primer underneath a powder it just flaked off, it was gross.

Hey Amy -

I use this as a primer, and it works just great for me (I have very very oily skin). On some days I use a liquid foundation and on others a mineral powder foundation - both of them seem to work fine with this primer as long as I leave time in between application for each product to dry (wash face, apply moisturizer - wait 5 minutes, apply primer - wait five more minutes and then apply foundation of choice). Afterwards I am left with a smooth and shine free complexion /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If you want more opinions, just do a search for 'primers, or monistat primer' and you should come up for a thread - I've actually read it before I just don't know the link...maybe one of the wonderful mods here can help you out with that.

Best of luck!!

Okay WHAT are you guys talking about - the only Monistat I've ever heard of is the stuff for yeast infections.

Lol - monistat anti chafing gel can actually be used as a primer; who discovered this I have no idea, but it works Most of the ingredients are actually the same ingredients in regular primers sold in different makeup lines. As the anti chafing gel is meant for skin already, it doesn't cause any problems applying it to the skin on the face. At about 7.00 for a fairly large tube, it's a great addition to one's Mu collection

So, does this work for extremely oily skin? It's cheap enough that it's worth a shot for me.

 

[lovelyarsenic]

I have extremely oily skin and it seems to do a pretty good job of keeping things under control

 

[Princess6828]

Hmm...Maybe I'll stop at the drugstore when I get out of work tonight.

I just ordered the sample, but i can't wait...goin to Walmart tomorrow!

 

[ShelbyLynn]

I use it and it does wonders. I also have Smashbox primer too but Monistat works just as good if not better, even on combo skin!

 

[subeemama]

I read about this on another beauty board. I've had this for a while now and it does work very nicely. It makes my skin feel so nice. The only thing is, it's hiding at the bottom of my makeup case! That darn Monisat logo! LOL!
