A quick question......does it make your face look all cakey if u apply it as a primer?

Thank you DHaina for the info.

I have tried and continue using Milk of Magnesium for my extremely oily skin. It is cheap (mix an empty bottle with 1/2 MoM and 1/2 water) and absorbs oil for a little while for me. I use it under makeup and it keeps me oil-free for about an hour or 2. Just as "effective" as the the expensive mattifying lotions. I say "effective" loosely because it doesn't work as well as I would like, but is the best thing I have found to date. Still have to use oil blotting sheets throughout the day.

I just went out yesterday and bought some, (walgreens $4.49) I put it on as a primer this morning, my makeup looks good still, after about 4 hrs. and I'm gonna blot my face at the end of the day to see how it controlled oil, (I'm very oily) but I put in on with a cotton pad and i dont think I put enough on, I was fairly skeptical about it harming my skin, but will be generous tomorrow, and I'll update you on the oil control and makeup staying power.
