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!
