I have a photoshoot on January 9th, and I want to grab a few more foundations to add to my kit but I don't know what ones to buy... I was thinking Revlon Colour Stay maybe? What ones would be good for a professional shoot? Thanks! 

Neutrogena Healthy Skin. I get tons of compliments when I have it on in photos.

I thought revlon photoready will make you flash white because of the shimmer in it? 

I own both the Colour Stay and Photo Ready, and I really didn't like the Photo Ready compared to the Colour Stay.
& Thank you all for your input!

I would recommend using a very matte foundation like Revlon Colorstay. I was chatting with another make up artist the other day about this same subject and she said that with HD makeup due to the fine highlighter stuff in it (having a brain fart right now on what it is called) it is hard to edit it out of pictures, like if the model looks too shiny. It is easier to photoshop and picture matte skin. That was just her opinion and to me it made sense :D

Revlon Colorstay! My skin always looks flawless when I use it for pictures! Sometimes I find it to be a little cakey, but it might be because of the way I apply it. I try to smooth it out with a clean kabuki after I apply but sometimes it just doesn't want to budge.

I really like Revlon ColorStay. But it did feel a little heavy, and I notice I was still a "little shiny" after application.

I tried the 24hr foundation from Maybelline, and I fell in love with that one too! After application, I was completely matte (I didn't feel the need to put a powder on it to set it). I also liked how the color disappeared on my skin. With the CS, I would always be asking other people if I looked funny (the color just didn't seem right to me).

Not only that, the ONLY way I applied the CS was a damp sponge. With the Maybelline, I tried a damp sponge, and brush and they both had spectacular results!!
