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

Ok everyone, I just bought this stuff, only $7 or so! I'll give it a test run tom., but I tried a little on my hand, and it makes it so silky and soft. Oh, and no smell!

Update to my original post: I decided to bite the bullet and buy a tube. I tried it out today and yesterday, and I must say that I'm impressed. It went on very silky but not greasy or oily. It lasted all day. I don't usually wear powder or foundation, just concealer, and I barely needed to used my blotting sheets (rare for N.O.'s heat and humidity). It was fragrance free and hypo-allergenic. I would definitely recommend this as a foundation primer.

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

Oh, another question, have any of you girls used it on your eyelids or around your eyes? I figure it would be eyesafe considering where it is meant to go, but I wanted to ask before I got big puffy eyes.

Alright, so I went down the aisle he he, and couldn't find this product. The only thing that walmart had was the yeast infection medicine. Where else would it be at the store???

Huh....never thought of that, but it makes sense - delicate areas. Hmmm.

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

I tried it this morning, I don't know about oil-control, since my fdtn does that already and I don't have very oily skin in the first place, but I LOVE how it makes my skin feel, my pores on my cheeks look a lot smaller and the fdtn lays nicer, IMO.

I want to hear others opinions, too.

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

I bought this, tried it and so far I love it. I will let you know later how well my makeup stays on this evening at work. It made my skin really soft.

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

I have a bottle of Farouk's Biosilk "Silk Therapy" - one of those serums that are supposed to make your hair smooth and shiny- I noticed that in the instructions on the bottle that it can also be used on the skin. The main ingredients are cyclomethicone and dimethicone, so I tried it yesterday and put my makeup over it (I use bare minerals) and I have to admit, my makeup looked fresh all day...and this stuff SAYS it's safe for skin. It felt nice too. I think a 2 oz bottle is about $15, maybe less depending on where you buy it. Not as cheap as the monostat, but probably cheaper than alot of the foundation primers out there- plus it doubles as a hair treatment!

I love this stuff! If you pay attention to ingredient lists it's not hard to see the similarities to other makeup primers that have a silicone base.(dimethicone)
Is just as good or better than my old fave cat cosmetics primer.
