#make up hack

So I have oily/combination skin. The middle part of my forehead, nose, chin, and skin around my nose are super oily/sweaty most of  the time while the other areas are drrrrryyyyy.... So I’ve been messing around with concoctions lately since I can afford to.

I want to mention one that I super liked, but hated the after effects. I’m talkin’ about Milk of Magnesia. Some people on the inter webs swear by it, for fashion shows, brides, theater, photo shoots ect... Some people wear it for everyday wear, kudos to them.

My take-away: It works. It keeps make-up matte, and even in the hot weather, or humid weather, or hot and humid weather, it makes the skin appear normal, and make-up last for 12 plus hours. That's right! At least it did for me. Also I loved that my eye shadow colors POPPED.  However.... once you clean your face and a day or two passes you get some pretty big blemishes. My pimples are usually a certain size, like the width of two sewing needles. But after using Milk of Magnesia for a Primer, I had pimples the width of a pencil eraser, also I had like 7 of them. Whoa.

So if you want a primer that will help make-up stay in place for 10+ hours, and don't mind blemishes that will occur later, then go ahead and use this "beauty hack".

All I wish for is that they make something similar to this, that won't cause a break out afterwards. Oh well, gonna keep on experimenting.

Make Your Old Mascara Brand New!

I personally may not use much make-up but when I do, one of my must-have items is mascara. Mascara can give you the illusion of having long, thick lashes without having to use fake ones. One thing all mascara users have in common though, is the dreaded feeling of when you notice that your mascara is getting a bit dry, clumpy, and hard to apply.
