Oily Skin Solution: The Inexpensive Foundation PriMeR

Do you have oily skin? Do you wear foundation and it seems to be worn out not too long after applying it? Well, I have a remedy for you that is most likely in your kitchen.  It's MILK OF MAGNESIA.... I know it seems strange but it works! I am a freelance makeup artist and it is just a few tricks of the trade that just happens to be an inexpensive alternative to other foundation primers such as the  MAC prep + prime or the MAC prep + prime creme that can run you from $20 to $37.99 for a 0.5 oz tube.
  Here are the instructions to use MILK OF MAGNESIA as a primer for your foundation:    



  •  Applying MILK OF MAGNESIA to your face with a cotton ball and allowed to dry will act as a base before you to apply your foundation.  
  • Cover all oily areas well (t-Zone...forehead, nose,cheeks & chin)* with  the Milk of Magnesia immediately after you wash and dry your face. 
  • Applying Milk of Magnesia allows your foundation to last much longer on your skin.
