Being a makeup artist I feel like I have to keep up with the latest tricks of the trade to keep makeup looking and feeling as natural or as flawless as possible on camera and off. I find that using Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief POWDER-GEL under your foundation (after a light moisturizer) will prevent oily skin from shinning through your makeup. It is non-greasy and fragrant free so it dries like a powder once applied the skin. The gel contains vitamin e and aloe so it's perfectly safe for your face when used in moderation. A little goes a long way so you don't need to apply much.
Just think about it:
If it's main purpose is to prevent unwanted moisture (chafing) in areas such as bikini lines, intimate areas, plus size women, and new moms why wouldn't it work?
TAKE THE CHALLENGE:
If you have oily skin, simply apply a small amount on your most oily area and then apply your foundation and the rest of your makeup. After about 1-2 hours I want you to look at the area and see the difference for yourself. For about $7.00/bottle it's worth the try. Whether it works out for you or not I want you to let me know. Look forward to hearing from you soon!

great post! I'll have to try that :)
ReplyDeleteThis works, not quite as well as Smashbox photofinish primer, but similar. I use Phillips Milk of Magnesia after moisturizer to block overactive oil glands in the t-zones. That's a trick I picked up from Tyra's website and it REALLY WORKS! I use chafing gel over the M O M because it smoothes the pores.
