Guys I have no idea why I get a white overcaste in my pictures. It only showed when the flash was on. Any tips to get rid of it?
Products I used:
Hourglass primer
Tarte cosmetics concealer
Bobbi brown foundation
Bobbi brown sheer powder finishing powder (skin color not white)


Ps- sorry the pic is so close to my face! :)

If the primer contains SPF that's most likely the reason.

I just looked it up & it does have it! Makes so much sense! I only had a sample of it so it didn't have the ingredients listed. Thanks! :)

I'd ask Jaqueline, if I remember correctly SPF in products have nothing to do with the white flashback you get whilst taking pictures.

Yeah I remember Miss J's post too. it's definitely not spf but I think something called mica. see if that's an ingredient in anything you're wearing.

It has nothing to do with spf. Jordan liberty also has a very informative video on it.

Here's a post jaqueline posted on.

I've noticed also that sometimes when you have a protective case on your phone and your taking a picture since the case sets the camera lens in a little more you also get a white cast...the flash bounces off the case... if you do have a case on your phone try taking it off and take a picture... might not be your makeup at all.

Applying too much finishing powder can cause that white overcast as well.
