I'm wondering what product is good when you are going to be talking lots of pictures? What type of foundation should you use and what type of eyes shadows?

Matte eye looks are best for flash photography... But you can still use satin finish shadows for more depth. Avoid too much shimmer or any glitters as they can make you look shiny/greasy. I use MUFE HD and I love it to pieces for foundation. Good luck!

My favorite foundations for photography are: MUFE HD foundation (fabulous because it already has silicone incorporated in it so it glides on and has light reflecting particles), Graftobian HD Creme foundation, Smashbox Camera Ready foundation. Make sure to blend, blend, blend.
In regards to shadows, I always opt for non glittery or shimmery shadows. Matte is the best way to go. I like Inglot matte shadows, MUFE matte shadows, Too Faced Matte palette shadows and Mehron.

Foundation ~ Definitely one with as little SPF as possible. (That said, Chanel's foundations have SPF but still manage to photograph well. Must be something about how they're formulated or the sunscreen ingredient they use.) The SPF ingredient that causes flashback is Titanium Dioxide.

Colorstay *does* have SPF (Titanium Dioxide). The Combination/Oily formula has SPF 6 (though, according to Revlon's site, some of the darker shades have none at all); the Normal/Dry formula has SPF 15.

Eyeshadows ~ Mattes are better, yeah, but you can use a little shimmer if it's not overly shimmery, if that makes sense?
