Earlier this year, she revealed she shaves her face in pursuit of a silky smooth complexion.
And now, beloved Australian beauty YouTuber, Chloe Morello, has let the world in on another of her skin secrets, revealing that she applies powder instead of regular primer before her foundation.

In a video shared with her two million YouTube followers last week, the 26-year-old social media star explained why she finds powder to be the best primer.
Chloe Morello also recommended her followers try the trick, especially if their skin is on the oily side.
‘Normally, all my primers are either liquid primers or a cream, but I’ve been using this for the past three weeks now, and it is amazing!,’ Ms Morello said towards the beginning of the eight minute video.
‘I like it because I don’t have to powder over the top as it’s already got that really matte finish.’
The vlogger then showed just how the Make-up Store Australia powder primer works as a mattifying product, by applying it to one half of her face and leaving the other half without any product.
After applying foundation to both sides of her face, one half of her skin looked matte, while the other was luminescent and dewy.
‘This side of my face just looks so much more smooth,’ Ms Morello said.
‘And then this side of my face… you can still see my pores. It’s just like my skin before, but with an even colour.’
For those who might not have the AUD $75 required to buy the powder that Chloe Morello uses in her video, other beauty experts have similar – and cheaper – recommendations.
Montréal-based makeup pro Eddie Malter, from L’Oréal Paris, said that any powder dusted over the face before you apply foundation helps to give your make-up something to stick to.
The idea is that powder holds onto make-up better than a primer, especially in hot temperatures when your skin hits overdrive with oil production.
Other experts have even gone as far as to suggest that baby powder works in much the same way as primer – a great base coat for a fraction of the price.
Something to bear in mind during humid times…
