    I love this stuff!! I use it at night over my moisturizer (just a quarter-sized amount works for me). It cleared my skin entirely (literally overnight)! I have been using a Suki regimen which had...

    This stuff is great! I began using this because one day i was watching the Tyra Banks Show and she mentioned putting MoM on your face to keep makeup on long. So i thought it was worth a try.It...

    blah! Yet another DYI, cheapie-alterna-version beauty trick that did not work fo me. The amount of MoM I had to use for it to be effective was to much for my coloring. It just dried to a chalky...

    After reading many of the reviews, I tried milk of magnesia as a primer before makeup and was immediately very pleased. My skin was smoother and while I usually get shiny within an hour of putting...

    I'll put my two cents in as well. This stuff is really, surprisingly great! I'm not coming from a position of experience, as this is the first time I have ever used a primer of any sort. But...

    I tend to get a "dewy" glow look that some like, but I just think looks oily and shiny. I personally prefer the glow that comes from a polished, smooth, soft skin, and the nice flush that comes...

    Here's what I have to add to the milk of magnesia phenomenon.... I used it as an eyeshadow base and it did really well. I can't really tell you how it would do in the heat cuz its the middle of...

    Another brilliant discovery from mua. I wouldn't exactly call MoM a primer as such as it doesn't do what other makeup primers do, i.e smooth the skin in preparation for mu. I would call it a...

    Milk of Magnesia is the best primer for shine control! I get really oily in the T-Zone area and so far, this is the only thing that will keep the oil under control! Since I started using Milk of...

    I wanted this to work so badly but I am truly disappointed. Maybe my skin is too oily for this to work. I used it both as a primer under makeup, a primer alone, and as a mask, and neither did...

    Add me to the list of people that love this. After my moisturizer sinks in, I apply this lightly with my finger. I dab from the inside of the lid, and apply to areas that are prone to shine. On...

    This is the best mattifier ever. A little bit before my primer and the nasty oil breakthrough is held at bay for at least 3-4 more hours.

    Thank you MUA for this stuff. When you have really oily skin this stuff works better than any oil mattifier. It has saved a fortune of money that I have spent in the past.

    I bought a generic brand for a buck based on the MUA reviews. I use pure MoM, no menthol or fragrance. I use it on my T-zone daily (for almost a week now). I see a HUGE difference when I use it...
