Primer under mineral makeup?

[magia]

I have very oily skin, and primers work better over my mineral foundation. I usually use Lily Lolo's Flawless matte or Meow's combination skin primer, and both work extremely well over my mineral foundation. So you should give it a try, if I doesn't work so well under your foundation.

I LOVE the Monistat Anti-Chafing gel underneath my Meow foundation. It's great for oil control and keeping my makeup on my face!

I use jojoba oil as a face moisturizer and I've had no problems with mineral makeup application.

Jojoba can actually control oil because it tricks the skin into thinking it's moisturized because the oil easily absorbs into the skin and doesn't clog it. I use about two drops of oil and it's just enough. The oil gets rid of any flakes so it smooths out the surface of my skin...acting like a primer.

This sounds like a rad idea, however, using jojoba oil with OCM actually seems to make my skin drier once my skin's adjusted to it. Maybe I will try this out with a different oil.

Fyrinnae's Rice Powder Primer ROCKS. I use it under my minerals and it holds up all day long (compared to about 4 hours without).

Ciao,
Does anyone know if they sell Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel in Canada?
I know that they do not have it here in Italy, but my Mom told me that she would get it for me if they sell it in Canada...
Thanks for your help.

Hi there, I had no problem finding this product in Calgary. I got mine from a Rexall store, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it on the shelf at Shopper's Drug Mart also! HTH!

I used it for about a week and I have no real complaints about how it worked as a primer, however I did have to stop using it because it started breaking me out.

Luckily I found my HG primer with Fyrinnae's Rice Powder, this stuff is the BUSINESS! I buff on a small bit with a baby buki before I apply my MMU, and it just makes everything else glide on so smoothly. I've had my jar for about 3 months now and I use it every day, and I've still only made the slightest dent in it since you really just need to use a small amount for the best result.
