I have the problem that when I take pictures, usually with my iphone or a real camera at night and use flash, it always bleaches me out and makes my face look 5 shades whiter than the rest of my body, it never seems to happen to the people around me. I've tried changing makeups and powders with little difference. I don't even like taking pictures any more when I go out. I attached some examples

If you are using an hd powder like makeup forever loose powder this will do this to you. You need to switch to laura mercier transluecent or just a drugstore brand that is not hd

I think it is related with sun protection if you are wearing some
I like how it lighten my skin in real life but in pics it reflects the light !

Makeups that contain titanium dioxide or something like that causes this. The lady at sephora told me. I switched to Lancôme and it doesn't happen as much even though Lancôme contains a small amount of it
