With all the cosmetics allergies I've developed, using the UDPP is no longer an option. So are there any DIY primers to keep the mineral shadows in place?

    *listens carefully*

    I have heard of using Vaseline but I am not sure how comfortable I am with that idea.

        Have you tried Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel? Bellatrix has recommended it as a face primer and it works beautifully.

          AFAIK the chafing relief stuff is just a silicon gel - fab as the primer but not exactly natural and not the right thing if you are developing sensitivities to that sort of thing.

            Vaseline is a petroleum product. As far as using it as a primer...... it won't work! I tried it once. What it does is just let the make-up just slide right off your face! I would not use Vaseline on the skin unless directed by your physician, and then you must make sure it is White Petrolatum (the clear stuff).

              Vaseline, Milk of Magnesia AND the Monistat Chaffling Relief powder gel are NOT tested for use on your eyes & therefore are not safe for use on your eyes. With ALL products that are not specifically "Opthamologist -tested", you should NOT use them on your eyes...period.

    I got the primer from "all natural face" on etsy. I FRIGGIN LOVE IT!!!! It works way better than my UDPP ever did. Plan on doing a review over the long weekend.

      I know it's a little late, but Woman's World magazine this week had a thing on saving money on beauty products. One of the tips was using waxy lip balm as eye primer. Their example was "softlips."

      I can't guarantee it's been tested on the eyes for safety, but I would hope they're required to keep that in mind before printing it and selling a million copies.
