I'm bumping this thread because I just this weekend tried this with my EDM. Although I don't usually have a problem with rub off from this brand or any other that I use, I have to say that using aloe as a primer tremendously increased coverage and staying power of my mmu. I applied a small amount (about half a dime size) on my face. I first rubbed it between my hands and then applied it to my entire face. I didn't have to wait too long for it to dry - just 30 seconds or so. I used less foundation than I usually use (which isn't much to start with) and it just glided on and gave me that really "creamy" peaches and cream complexion. The coverage was incredible and it didn't budge ALL DAY. I just wanted to share this with those of you who have trouble with mmu lasting all day. It didn't make my skin shiny or oily, however, my face felt so smooth it was incredible. I used 100% aloe which I purchased from a local drug store - I believe the brand name of it is "Banana Boat" but I see that there are so many brands out on the market that I'm sure work just as well. Oh, make sure that it contains 100% aloe regardless of the brand that you choose and DON'T get one which containes Lidocaine - because I have one at home which does, that I remember I purchased for a sunburn. Lidocaine is a pain reliever!

There are some being sold at malls, brands such as A.R., youngblood, thenatural source
 
I use aloe too! But I mix it with my foundation...not apply it as a primer...it really helps my MMU go on smooth especially on days my skin seems dry or flaky

 
Where do you get the Aloe Gel? Is there a product/brand that is specific for the face?

Thanks

Kris

Is there a particular brand you want? i know a few multiply online stores which i can refer you to.
 
ooo I want to try using aloe gel now....Smashbox's photofinish made me break out when I used it with mmu...I used it before I got into mmu and it was fine but I think that my skin got more sensitive to other products with more chemicals now that it only comes in contact with mineral make up...

Please share! hi!the OAB works great for me, controls the oil really well. take note that i live in a very humid country. usually, i do sandwich method and it really minimizes the oiliness.

i have perfect presentation as well, and this one blurs the imperfections of the skin.

try to get the tinted ones, the white/original can somehow lighten the foundation

i never really understood how important primers are when it comes to make up. i usually just put on moisturizer then buff in some foundation or mix them together and apply it directly. now i gotta pay attention to the primers i have and compare my days without em and my days without :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

^hmm... i've never used any other primers other than powder based primers (mineral)and pure luxe cream eraser but it hasn't done that to my skin. thing is, i just don't know if there's a big difference when i use primer or not.
