My Make up makes me look white when I take pictures with flash, what can I do?

It's most likely the SPF since it reflects light off your skin. I wear sunblock all the time and I hate that ghostly white I get in flash photos, but hey - it's either that or skin cancer, right!?

That means your foundation has spf :( and unfortunately we need protection from the sun . hopefully someone knows how to fix this and we'll both get some help :)

try to save this foundation for day time you won't need a flash as much and find another one with little to no spf for night time where you won't need as much but you'll need flash more :)

Don't use foundations or anything with SPF in it that is what is causing the white glare

Look for a foundation with a low or no SPF! The titanium dioxide in SPF is what casts the white shadow! Good luck I love these tips and tricks I have a lot on my YouTube channel, graceandglamor!

any product with titanium dioxide zinc oxide or silica powders will cause a white cast in flash photography. smashbox has the studoio skin foundation which has spf but a chemical sunscreen which does not cause a white cast.

I only use a foundation with SPF during the day. I use a different and very slightly darker foundation at night. It doesn't seem to reflect in photos with flash and it gives my face a softer look in some of the different lights when I go out.
