Would silicone oil make a good makeup primer?

K

I have extremely dry skin and need a primer for my makeup to keep it smooth all day. CoastalScents.com sells pure Silicone Oil. Would this work as a makeup primer?

K

Anyone know?

If so, this would be an incredibly cheap alternative to any other primer.

K

Seriously. No one knows if Silicone oil could be a good makeup primer?

This has been posted for a week and I want to place my Coastal Scents order!! I don't know whether or not to buy the silicone oil. WILL SOMEBODY PLEEEEEAAAAASE GIVE ME SOME INPUT???!

I guess nobody here, including me, has used this before so we really don't know what to say. I can only imagine that this would be a good alternative to other silicone based primers. From the reviews on coastalscents.com, it seems to be a good moisturizer as well as a primer, given that you don't use too much.
I tried googling "silicone oil", but it didn't really help that much. My only advice would be to try it out on your face. If that doesn't work, see if it works on your hair, seeing that silicones are good at smoothing down your hair.

None of the primers I've tried actually contain silicone oil. Most of them contain dimethicone, which makes me think silicone might not be the best choice. There are so many good primers on the market right now. Why not use one of them?

Another cheap alternative would be Monistat anti-chafing gel, which is what I use. Compared to Gueralin's primer, which I just got a sample of, it seems to be the same thing, just with no fragrance. I would be hesitant combine any type of oil with my makeup, considering that oil dissolves makeup (ever heard of oil cleansing?)

Thanks guys for your response- I decided to buy the silicone oil and give it a try!

IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I apply just a few drops onto moisturized skin- and seriously, my makeup has NEVER looked better- it works better than the $75 Smashbox Photo Finish primer!! I wear a powder foundation, which always has trouble staying put. This primer kept my powder in place, and looking fresh ALL DAY. I even slept with my makeup on to test the primer's powers, and the next morning my skin looked just as fresh and even as it did the day before- and I am no dainty sleeper!!

For under $6.00, this is MUST HAVE!!! It doesn't feel greasy or thick like other primers, but it smooths over all your imperfections, moisturizes my insanely dry, flaky skin, yet stops shine in my T-zone. Seriously, this is incredible!!!! You can get the silicone oil as CoastalScents.com !!

Howdy, Stranger!
