Put milk of magnesia under all your makeup including your primer. It'll last all day with no oil :)

Use a primer and a setting spray. urban decay has some great setting sprays. and smashbox has some great pregers for all skin types. I use both a primer and setting spray and I can dance all night and my makeup still stays looking great!

Before you apply your foundation, spray a little setting spray on your brush or sponge :)

Seriously it's crazy how good it works! Just make sure not to put too much! If there is a lot of the white residue then that's too much.

Put on a primer before your foundation and the use a setting spray afterwards. I use Urban Decays all nighter setting spray.

I use smash box oil free primer! Also I did hear that if you spray Mac's fix + before you apply foundation it'll give you a nice glow and help your makeup last longer :)

Oooh, I thought milk of magnesia is Rly not good for your skin. I don't think that is what it is made for.

Yeah, Milk of Magnesia can throw off your skins PH level making it a breading ground for bacteria. a lot of.peeople use it on their face but I wouldn't put it anywhere near mine. try an oil free primer and a good setting powder. you may need to switch up foundations too. the one your using now may not be the best for your skin.

Make sure you're using the right foundation for your skin. if its gone that fast sounds like you need something for oily skin and a setting powder

I've been using it for a while and haven't experienced any issues. I've never heard of that, maybe just don't use a lot? Haha I don't know

Primer is the key. Smashbox, Benefit Porefessional are 2 great ones.
