OMG I'm so embarrassed! I wear Revlon Colorstay and it looks great in person but my face looks white in pictures. Here I am in person or in a picture without a flash...

I'm almost drunk so excuse the pose. I went drinking with my coworkers and boss today..

I am so embarrassed! Anyone know if any tricks to prevent this or foundations for oily skin that don't do this?!?!

HELLLLPPPPPP!

Usually foundations with SPF in them leave white feedback when you take flash photography. What I recommend is finding a foundation without SPF!

Urban Decay's Naked liquid foundation doesn't have spf in it.

Jacqueline, see all this makes perfect sense! However,

1) the shade that is above this makes me look orange in person. I rarely take pictures with flash but I would still like a foundation that won't do this if I ever take one.

2) I use MAC pressed powder. I don't use much of it, I promise. I run the poof over the product once. Should I skip it all together?

3) my powder is a tad bit lighter than my foundation. Maybe that's the problem?

4) my concealer is the exact same color of my foundation and I only apply it under my eyes and on my right cheek.

5) I use liquid foundation.

This is so confusing and the fact that I'm inebriated right now isn't helping!! I hate flash!!

My guess is that it is the powder. I used revlon colorstay for quite a few photoshoots, with no problem.

I'm thinking maybe it's just the brand. I googled and I found out other people have this same issue with Revlon Colorstay. I really don't think it's the powder because it is damn near the same shade. I'm going to try MUFE HD foundation next. Does anyone know if this photographs well?
