Best foundation to wear if there is going to be flash photography

[brokenmarrow]

I have v fair skin and always get properly colour matched so i dont think the foundation shade is the problem but its got to the point where i am so paranoid about looking pale that i put (i think) loads of bronzer and blusher on.

And yet any pictures taken with a flash i still look like a ghost beside all the other girls.

Any tips or good foundations appreciated

Steer clear of anything illuminating or light reflecting. That includes moisturiser, primer and powder too!

Watch out for anything (including moisturiser) that has a physical sunscreen in it (e.g. zinc). That will make your face look ghostly white.

Oh yes, that too. Zinc is one. Another to look out for is Titanium Dioxide.

Go and see Mac. They make some foundations for photo sessions. Agree with the others, avoid the sunscreen!

thanks i usually wear clinique which i am happy with for day time but i might go and see if Mac would recommed something for out on a night out.
