Olivia Attwood shares ‘genius’ deodorant make-up hack she uses in hot weather – but the trolls are out in force
OLIVIA Attwood has left jaws on the floor after sharing her “genius” hack for making make-up stay on all day in the heat.
The Love Island star’s skin looked incredible in a recent Instagram post from her honeymoon in Dubai – and she divulged exactly how she gets it to stay like that.
The 32-year-old incorporates antiperspirant into her make-up routine to stop sweat leaking through her pores and breaking up her make-up products.
Olivia, who married footballer Bradley Dack two weeks ago, posted a tutorial on how to execute her beauty hack… but it divided opinions.
“I like to use a stick deodorant, not a roll-on one,” she started. “I think the waxy ones are better.
“We need one that’s separate for the make-up bag. We’re not going armpit to face. We’re not animals.
“My face is clean, I’ve got nothing on. No skincare, this is really important.
“You’re basically going to go over the areas that you sweat. Forehead, whatever, put it wherever you think you sweat.
“And then you just carry on with your routine as usual.”
Once she had dabbed the waxy antiperspirant on her face, Olivia followed it up with her primer, foundation, concealer and contour.
She sets everything in place with the Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray before going back in with the deodorant stick.
She patted it into her face and followed that up by dabbing Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder in with a make-up sponge.
The final step is another spritz of setting spray to lock everything in place.
Olivia told viewers not to be “smart a****s in the comments” and question why she wanted to wear make-up in the heat.
But it wasn’t the make-up that trolls weighed in on – it was the fact she put deodorant on her face.
“Can’t work out if this is a joke or not,” one penned.
“This would definitely ruin your skin and clog up your pores,” a second said.
“Let’s not put deodorant with aluminum like this on our face, or armpits for that matter,” a third advised. “Don’t shoot the messenger, just do your research about the aluminum used in antiperspirants like this and their links to cancer.”
Others urged people not to try it because “our pores aren’t meant to be blocked”.
However, some beauty fans dubbed the hack “genius” and a “game changer”, with hundreds planning to try it on their upcoming summer holidays.
