Powder Flash Back? Help!!

So I love using mineral and translucent powders to set my BB cream and concealer but have always had the problem of "camera flash back" aka white or pale face/complexion when taking photos with the flash on. I've heard it's due to zinc-oxides and titanium dioxides etc. or products with spf.

Does anyone know of or use loose powder or setting powders that don't cause this or don't contain those things?

Try the Mac prep and prime translucent powder! It's amazing for camera, especially HD.
