In my job, you can sometimes get stuck in a beauty bubble. You think you know it all, basically. Which is why I love chatting in the Adore Beauty forum. Now these girls, they know their beauty. They have some really clever ideas (not to mention opinions), and some tips that I would never think of of in a million years. Like this one from Ozlicious: “My latest ‘thing’ is applying a tiny thin layer of Mylanta with a cotton pad to my t-zone - its milk of magnesia content TOTALLY soaks up oil and acts as a great mattifying primer for foundation. I am definitely noticing less shine breakthrough to the point where I don’t really need to blot (and I am in tropical North QLD, so that’s saying something). I know it seems gross but it works I tell you.”

- I often hear about a product called a primer. What’s it all about and what do you recommend?
- All of a sudden all the foundations I use are turning orange-y about an hour after application. What on earth is going on and what can I do to correct it??
- I have an oily complexion and most sunscreens, even that say oil-free, only add shine. Any ideas?

Hahaha it was me who suggested this and I STILL DO IT!! It makes such a great matte primer for nearly all foundations!
