Re: A good face primer?

Primers are usually just to keep your makeup on longer and make it glide on smoothly and fill in pores and lines but there are tinted ones like green to get rid of redness and ones for sallow skin too. Some of them are supposed to brighten and some make the skin more matte.

Smashbox' Photo Finish primer makes my skin look and feel really smoothed-out, so my foundation goes on (& looks) super-smooth! Nothing else I've tried yet comes close.

Re: A good face primer?

I got smashbox photo on Ebay for $20, but the seller doesn't know if she can get it out to me by this friday (ordered it yesterday).

Where do I get monistat chafing gel? It's powder, right? Does it look cakey?

Thank you!

In the same aisle you'd get your tampons and condoms!
Try looking in drugstores, K-mart, Wal-mart and supermarkets.

And I'd suggest compiling a list of possibles, and then heading off to Makeup Alley and reading reviews. That's what I did and how I ended up with Bare Essentials' Prime Time.
