Meet....
Milk of Magnesia.

(MOM) aka Magnesium Hydroxide

 It is commonly found in the laxative and antacid aisle of your local pharmacy. It's also a great topical treatment for the skin! It can be daily used as a "tonic drying to powder" to cut sweat & shine & absorb oil on your face, leaving you with matte finish. You can also use it as primer for your make-up or eyeshadow, blushes prevents clumping and facial oil bleeding on make-ups. How brilliant is that?!

Long-term use can help clear the skin of acne because magnesium is anti-inflammatory & gives the skin&body calming effect, controls stress-related oil-production. The alkaline hydroxide ions neutralizes the acidity on your skin, preventing the acid&oil-loving bacterias from hanging out in your pores and creating pimples.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!

Magnesium can be absorbed through the skin; DON'T USE THIS if you have kidney problems, otherwise you may over time overdose on magnesium!

and here's  
Monistat....

Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel.
Available @ Walmart, Amazon, CVS, Kmart, Target

It is originally used on your Bikini Area as prevention and relief from chafing and irritation of skin in intimate, delicate areas like the inner thigh, bikini area, underarms and breasts. Protects you from the uncomfortable irritation caused by moisture, heat, movement and shaving. Also helps reduce the appearance of redness that can develop after shaving or waxing the bikini area.

Whoever thought of it as a Primer is AWESOME!!!!! 

It does the exact same job as the popular primer would.

· Dries to a powder finish.
· Creates a matte surface so makeup glides on and stays on.
· Smooths out large pores, uneven skin tone and blemishes.
· Prevents breakouts.
· Allows for much smoother for eye shadow application on mature skin.
· Keeps make-up looking fresh by locking it in.
· Makes your face look youthful and dewy.
· Helps concealer glide on.
· Doesn't feel greasy.
· Helps mineral make up last longer and look less cakey.
· Makeup stays on for 8+ hours, looking as good as when first applied.
· Excellent mattifier on top of any cream/lotion/sunscreen.
· Fragrance free.
· Non-irritating.
· Non-toxic.
· Non-staining
· Smooths skin texture which reflects light and eliminates
    shadows (so you look younger)
· Tasteless (if someone kisses your cheek)
· Non-pore-clogging (non-comedogenic)
· Keeps your makeup fresh in 100+ degree heat (great for summer)
· Gentle enough to use every day.
· Softens appearance of fine lines.

It has dimethicone, w/c is a skin protectant, the same ingredient you will find in a lot of high end foundation primers. 

Prevents oil from getting out, it also prevents your foundation from getting in. This means that your skin won't absorb your makeup so your makeup looks fresh all day, even on hot days. It holds makeup in place so well and for so many hours, many women report that they have stopped powdering their faces, giving their skin a more natural, youthful look.
Good dupe for Smashbox photofinish, MAC matte gel primer, spackle...
