Testing Viral Trend of Using Calamine Lotion as a Makeup Primer
Do you remember when using calamine lotion as a face primer went viral?
Today, I’m testing that viral trend with pink calamine and I’m trying it out on my face!
Tools and materials:
- Calamine lotion
- Foundation
The first thing I did was use the brush to apply the calamine lotion to my face. It is a bit messy to apply but I applied it all over.
Then, I let it dry. This hack also reminds me of the recent trend of applying foundation over a white base.
Once it dried, I applied my foundation over top of it.
This is an up-close view of a no-filter makeup application. It shocks me how well it works!
Here I have a patch from where I didn’t apply the calamine lotion very evenly, so make sure you do.

This isn’t something you should do every day, but once in a while, try calamine lotion as your makeup primer to get the foundation finish of your dreams.
Let me know what you think of this hack down below. Will you try it?

I don't understand the purpose of this other than possibly to dry very oily skin. Your foundation looks very heavy...makeuppy. Adding the blush buffers that and gives you a very beautiful look which you can get with any other primer or moisturizer.
Maybe this would be good for stage makeup? It looks so heavy for everyday. Thanks for showing us! Fun to see the transformation:).
