So I've noticed that sometimes when I take a picture of my face with the flash on, my makeup looks totally caked on and powdery and gross and unnatural BUT in person when I'm in front of a mirror it looks pretty natural and sometimes flawless.
why is that?.
and is there a way to prevent that? anyone else have the same problem?

I can't remember what it is but there's something in foundations that aren't good for flash it might be SPF.

SPF has nothing to do with flashback. There's plenty of threads that explain that it's based on the type of powder you use and how you apply it. That's the cause of flashback. But that's not causing a cakey look it causes a white cast.
It might just be a really hi definitely/resolution photo? I know that the higher quality the photo, makeup usually looks either heavier or lighter depending on the lighting. I'm not 100% though.

Alyx you might be right cause it is with a galaxy s5 which the camera is supposed to be SUPER good. maybe that's it, I was just wondering if there are any tricks to prevent that.

Some silica powders, like the HD by make up for ever, cause flashback when applied too heavily. A light hand might help. Here on Beautylish you can find Wayne Goss's videos on the subject. On YouTube his name is Gossmakeupartist and here he is Wayne G. There is more than one video concerning this problem and he is certainly more knowledgeable than me. Hope I could help!

Well the photo is probably giving you an HD image that your eyes are not able to see in person (since our eyes are only 1 MP in terms of camera definition while camera lenses come with 12-20 MP these days) so that's probably why the photo appears more defined than what your eyes are capable of seeing without the camera lens.

But that MP thing I heard somewhere so don't quote it as fact :P.
