I'm in love with my Neutrogena Healthy Skin liquid makeup, but it has SPF 20, which I'm normally a fan of, but recently I've noticed it's been giving me a pretty significant white cast in pictures, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a foundation that comes off well in pictures. Thanks =]]

I use Covergirl Nature Silk Foundation in 315. It seems to work really well in pictures. And it's a really good price too! Hope this helped!

Revlon Colour Stay is a great one!

I agree with Ashley. Revlon's Colour Stay also has SPF in it but it doesn't cast a weird light. I used it for my grad pictures (for my yearbook, gown pictures and in my dress). I'm wearing it in my profile picture but I'll attach another picture so you can see. My old school hires a makeup artist to help with the yearbook Grad pictures and she told me my makeup was already perfect so I definitely recommend that foundation.

The active ingredient, and the sunscreen used, in Neutrogena Healthy Skin is titanium dioxide. In its purest form, it's a white powder. This is why you're getting flash back/a white cast.

Setting your foundation with silica powder (MUFE HD powder, e.l.f. HD powder) will also give a white cast in pictures. Use a normal translucent powder instead.

Colorstay, in the Combination/Oily formula, has SPF 6 (active ingredient is also titanium dioxide), and the darkest shades don't have SPF at all.

Anyway, there are several foundations out there with no SPF -- all the MUFE foundations, all Illamasqua foundations, Face Atelier Ultra Foundation, the aforementioned MAC Face and Body, and I'm sure there are others I'm not thinking of.

(Oddly enough, Chanel's foundations also photograph well, despite most of them having an SPF of at least 15. Wish I knew what they used as an SPF ingredient.)
