MONISTAT CHAFING RELIEF POWDER GEL! I swear on everything that Jesus whips this up in heaven and drops it into CVS. This is the only primer that works for me!

you're not alone. i thought I was the only person who actually HATED the smashbox primer. it felt sooo oily and broke me out like crazy. no primer has worked for me actually. so i will be trying this philosophy one and monistat

The Monistat Chafing Relief Gel and Mac's Matte Creme Matifiante Gel have the same exact ingredients listed on the boxes.

Anything is better than the MAC primer, so that's not saying much. But I am looking for a primer that reeeallly makes makeup last. I will try and get a sample next time I am at Sephora.

No, you're not. On MUA it gets very mixed reviews. And I tried the Photo Finish Light. Not only did I not see the fascination, at the end of the night my face was oiler than usual and I definitely don't need that.

Is that the primer that also can be used as a moisturizer? My friend and her boyfriend both use this and it looks amazing on their skin, either with or without makeup on top.

i was wondering:
when you're all talking about the MAC primer, are you talking about prep + prime? since i dont get a lot of sleep between jobs, my skin ends up looking really oily and tired, so i'm in desperate need of something to keep the shine down and my pores from being EXTRA visible.
im already using the MUFE microperfecting primer, but that's more to even out my skintone.
so, i'm not sure if i should skip the MAC one and go for the MUFE.

and while i'm here, what do you think about the MAC line filler if you've tried it/heard about it? i REALLY need that now too...

thanks in advance!

I'm a huge fan of eye primers, but I've never used a face primer for a big reason. I have oily skin, so usually I won't even wear any face makeup at all, so there's no need for a primer. And also, I'm often too lazy to take off my makeup before bed. So i've let my face clear up nice, but i miss the look of face makeup, so if i go back to it, perhaps i'll give it a try!

I'm using this now and love it, and I must say it does create a nice canvas for your foundation. I've never liked Smashbox Primer and Mac's face primer just makes my foundation slide right off my face.

I've used this for the past 3 years and I wouldn't change it for the world. I always make sure I have one in the drawer as well as the one I am using. It lasts me up to 9 months, sometimes longer than that and I use it every day. I love it.....seriously. Makes me look perfect....
