A Reddit user shared the makeup application tip in a post.
They explained that they had to adopt a new strategy when they started sweating more than before.
“It’s a long story, but a few years ago my body was no longer able to regulate its temperature, and as a result I was sweating like a middle-aged, very elderly professional with menopausal hypertension in a crowded bar with no air conditioning in the last week of January,” they said.
“I sweat a lot.”
They have since revealed that a combination of two products was holding back their makeup products.
“I just discovered the combination of The Ordinary’s High Adherence Primer and MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation and I absolutely love it,” they said.
The Ordinary’s $6.70 budget primer holds the $39.50 oil-controlling Mac foundation.
While the combination didn’t solve their sweat problem, it did help keep their makeup in place.

“Guys, I sweat through my makeup. BUT THE MAKEUP STAYS,” they said.
“And I put on all my makeup this morning at 6:30, and now I’m still sitting here with my face covered,” they added.
“Serious, [I] can not recommend [it] enough.”
Other beauty fans raved about the effectiveness of the inexpensive primer.
One of them said she noticed an “immediate improvement in finer surface imperfections.”
“It definitely helped to instantly smooth out fine lines, pores, and general skin imperfections. It even helped fade some of the red spots,” she wrote.

“It also gives a bit of a glow. Like someone else said, milky. I started using it again last week on a film shoot.
“So great! I used the same tube I bought two years ago — it still works great.
“The makeup stayed put all day; I was able to apply my first powder touch-up after about seven hours.
“It really smooths, plumps and gives the skin a light, natural glow over a matte foundation.”
“What can I say other than WOW? I absolutely love this and it has quickly become my go-to primer. It goes on so easily and disappears into my skin leaving a beautiful finish,” agreed another.
“Sometimes I don’t put any makeup on top and just wear it alone. It really has a blurring effect and gives my skin a nice, smooth, matte look. The appearance of wrinkles is definitely reduced.”
