Primer Potion Dupe

[pratbc]

Like other posters have mentioned, the Monistat Anti-Chafing gel is primarily used as a foundation primer. I switch up between the Monistat and the MAC Prep+Prime Face. I have never heard anyone mention using this product as an e/s primer.
I do use UDPP- its ok but I still have to use either a paint, paintpot or shadestick over it to take my extremely oily lids. Another UDPP dupe that I do have and it actually works the same if not better as UDPP is the Lumene eyeshadow base. It is a brand sold at CVS. Some people with extremely oily lids actually prefer it to the UDPP.
HTH!

I've used Monistat Anti-Chaffing Gel as my foundation primer, it does its job like Smashbox photofinish but I stopped using it because I don't like that super matte look. or maybe I just put to much...it just made my face look opaque. I've tried it as a eyeshadow primer before both on my hands and on my eyes. and let me tell you...

on your hands, you'll see that it really enhances the colors of the shadows BUT when you put it on your eyelids, the colors easily come off, creases. trust me. I was only out for about 2 hours and just w/in an hour, my friend was like, "did you just go down to the bathroom to wash your face?" and I was like "no, why?" apparently my eyeshadows just randomly came off. O__O weird. so no, I wouldn't recommend it. just stick w/ the UDPP. it's really some good stuff. I know the packaging sucks but if you open it up and put it in some sample jars. it works. you really do get a lot of product. I have the full sized one and the mini from the deluxe palette. AND let me tell you. I still have 50% left after using it for 3months. I heard too faced eyeshadow insurance works well too.

Does anyone know if the Monistat cream is actually safe to use on the face? I was told that it is more likely to clog pores than face primers based on the additional ingredients. I'd definitely love to use something this inexpensive if it's as great as it sounds!
