So ATM I'm using revlon colorstay but in my pictures my face looks so much whiter than my body.
what can I do to prevent that look.
what's a foundation simular to revlon colorstay or powder that doesn't give me that white look in photos.
here's an example.

Look for a foundation with no SPF the SPF in foundations makes the flash on cameras have you looking crazy white I've heard some good things about the cover girl 3 in 1 but I haven't tried it my self

What Celeste said! SPF and those white HD finishing powders also give a white look. The only other thing I can think of would be to really use a heavy hand with a bronzed or use a darker foundation next time you know there will be flash photography.

Also some translucent (white) powders can cause flashback. Better to stick with a flesh toned powder.

I don't think Revlons Colorstay has SPF, I never had a problem with flashback, maybe it's a lil too light? Flash really washes out colors so it's recommended to use a foundation a lil bit darker to compensate the harsh light.
