Don't have the money at the minute to buy a new primer, does anyone know how to possibly make one yourself that'll keep oil away? thankyou in advance<3.

I've heard you can use Milk of Magnesia but I wouldn't recommend it. Especially not for every day usage as it is very drying an the PH is different from the skin. It might be okay for a one off but I wouldn't do it very often.

I literally just searched this up, but this mixture will help prolong the wear of your foundation and eyeshadow, while also controlling oil. Plus, aloe vera is super gentle on the skin and will reduce redness!
2 tbsp. aloe vera gel
2 tbsp. moisturizer
1 tbsp. foundation
Mixing bowl
Popsicle stick
Storage jar

I use the Milk of Mag. only on days when I know I have a lot of errands to run and my makeup needs to stay as flawless as possible. It works wonders for me but as had been mentioned, it can be troublesome due to the ph levels so it's definitely not for daily use. I did purchase the Cover Fx Mattifying Primer with Anti-Acne treatment a few months ago and it was a waste of $$$ so steer clear.
