Well I tried Bare Escentuals mineral makeup

[red98vett]

I go to the beauty boards on the qvc.com website and their is some beauty savvy women there.
They turned me onto several great products. I have to share this one and I think I might have before.
It is made by monistat and is actually a chafing creme.(clear) And it works like magic for a makeup primer.It makes pores less noticeable makeup glides on and your face feels like silk!!! Try it you will not be dissapointed and it is alot less than most makeup primers. Also one of the girls on the other board called monistat to confirm that it is indeed safe to use on the face. It is normally used under the arms , between the thighs, places that rub other places. here is the link.

NO WAY !! Monistat makes that 'other' cream that Thank the Lord I've never had to buy ....

for real ??? kind of like using prep H for puffiness huh ??

very good to know cause I think that's sold everywhere... but how embarrassing to buy lol !!!

I use Retin-A from my dermatologist for acne, but Villette uses the same product for wrinkles. Maybe you should consider something like that....something that helps prevent breakouts but also corrects wrinkles. All hope is not lost. I swear a trip to the dermatologist will make all your woes and worries go away. Makeup will help, but it won't CORRECT the problem. Go see a doctor, get the problem corrected, and then use the makeup to make you look even MORE beautiful!!!!!

i sooo need to go.. I don't know why but I started breaking out on my back really bad......it itches like so bad!...lol

You should not put anything on your face unless it is oil-free and non-comendogenic. This product is neither. It will clog pores and cause breakouts. Great idea, though. I am sure people who NEVER get breakouts or have perfect skin could use it, but that unfortunately I am not one of those people.

QVC has a beauty board???? Oh hell, I'm never going to be off of this computer!

[Shadow]

Yes they do.Really nice gals with great tips too!!!

[Shadow]

It has worked great for me and many others as well. I have far from perfect skin. I think alot of primers clog the pores don't they???
Curious as to which ingriedent is oil.

If it would oil-free it would say so. It is also not non-comendogenic, or it would say do. Believe me, I wish I could use it. But if I put anything near my face that is not oil-free or not non-comendogenic, then I breakout. I just wanted to put that information out there for those that have acen-prone skin such as myself.

I have never had an acne problem , but I do have large pores and this helps minimize them. Maybe since it isn't for the face it wouldn't say that. Most products have wax instead of oil which also clogs the pores.
I'm very pleased with the product and the price 6.99, I think.
Alot of the women on the Q-boards that used all the high priced primers made the switch without incident. I can rememer one lady said it broke her out.

Wow! I just read through this whole thread! I have to tell you, I am alittle bummed about the Bare Ess. BUT I know that everyone is different, so it is something we all have to try by trial & error, I guess. I have a list of what to ask for when I go to Sephora, so I will, eventually, find something that is right for me.......oh boy, I think it will take a long time............time away from YT.......is it worth it?! Ha!

I use the Bare Minerals every day and really do like it - but you're right - what works for some won't work for others and thanks to REBECCA and her pretty face now I really want to try that Mercy ME stuff -

If Retin-A really is just too strong, try Differin Gel. It works in the same way that Retin-A does, but it is not as strong and easier for people with really really sensitive skin to use.

It wasn't too strong. It just did NOTHING and I used it 3x a day for months and months. I have skin like a elephant. You know ... i also did a glycolic peel that was VERY strong prescription strength. it burnt layers of my face off so much that my WHOLE face turned dark brown and puckered like a raisen. It took forever to peel and you know what. My skin was the SAME after peeling all thos layers off. It was incredible and the Dr. was astounded since so many layers came off. JEESH all that pain and a month of looking like a freak for nothing. By the way it was supposed to peel within a week or less but my face is so tough it was a MONTH

Villette I've also read about the chafing cream as a primer, I'm a member of a talk forum called Makeuptalk and they rant and rave about that all the time.
