i have seen in a couple videos that this "invisible" powder shows up when someone takes flash photography. i wanted to get some to try it out but i take a lot of photos with friends on nights out, always using flash, i wouldn't want to look pale as a ghost. has anyone else experienced this?

heres a video showing the effect.

I use the MUFE HD powder and I don't get the flash/white-cast on my face. The videos blaming the powders are misleading you - it's the MUA's fault or the person that applied it in the first place, since you aren't supposed to use that much product and be so heavy handed... Not all products are made for everyone, and we all know that... so it all depends on how you adapt to using it.

I've used it on myself for nights out on the town, and wedding photography for a bridal party - NONE of which had a white cast on their faces. They looked natural and their natural tans were very glowy. See any white casts? Nope. There were flashes going on at the sides since it was a downcast day outside, and we had no problems whatsoever.

I like the MUFE version, and I haven't found the need to try any others... but I heard ELF's is a really good dupe for a fraction of the price. I'd try it, but I've had the same jar for 2 years, and I've BARELY made a dent in it. It's expensive, but I seriously see one of these things lasting me a decade... haha.

I use this product w/ my Ecotools bronzing powder, and I shake the jar by tapping it on my vanity to get some product to stick to the lid of the jar. I only use whatever sticks to the top of the jar, which is close to non-existent, but that is ALL you need.

If you're curious, save $ for the splurge, or try the cheaper alternative via ELF. Either way, that product will last you AGES.  =D

No problem, hope it was helpful! Good luck finding the right powder for you!  =)

HA! I think if people want to see if something is truly invisible they should try it on dark skin. On my face it leaves a really light effect like I didn't put lotion on my skin...But that's just my experience with it.

^Haha... I'll agree to that. Like I said, not all makeup is meant for everyone... however, if your skin tone is meant for it, then it should be "invisible"... =)

By the way, for your personal reference to have an idea what shade range it does work on, I am an NC30. The ladies in the wedding photo were from NC20-NC45.

Haha... I think it's kind of dorky [but we like it like that]... The groom + groomsmen had their "hardcore"/badass picture, and this was the bridal side's attempt.  =)

LoL I am one of those with a video. I think it is not good for people with darker skin tones. I believe people with fare skin won't have a problem with powder.
