Does anyone else's make up do this?

[BabyAlexander]

I've recently switched to bare minerals. I love it, the berocca of make up.

But, whilst I look normal in natural and artificial light, in photographs I'm turning into David Dickinson's love child. I'm so orange.

Anyone else?

I'm going to need new make up aren't I?

It's possibly oxidising the longer you have it on your face?
Or ask someone who will honestly tell you if it is a good colour match on you

That's what I wondered but I honestly hadn't had it on long. Believe me DH would soon tell me if I had a face like a birthday cake. And I've checked.

Go on Makeupalley and check out the reviews of your product, if no one else says it does on there, then i think you've got the wrong shade.

I found it oxidised on my skin... I tried two shades (the lightest two as I'm pale - ruddy Irish peasant my sister calls it), and although I love bare minerals, eventually I had to face facts - bare minerals doesn't love me.

I ended up with orange tan lines that made me look like an oompah loompah from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory circa gene wilder

Did you have the tan lines visible to the naked eye? Mine appears to just be in photos. All good in every other aspect but oompah loompah face in photos is not becoming!

That's so strange! I used BM for years and didn't find this. I would ask a BM consultant when you next see one, ideally with the picture with you to show them

It may be the pigments in the make up reflecting light back badly in the photos. I find some make up photographs terribly (looks amazing on but completely sucks in images). Some contouring highlighters are also really bad for this and leave you with 2 Adam Ant style stripes across your face!

Mine were visible to the naked eye, and when I cleansed at night, it came off orange. I tried quite a few primers as a few forums suggested it would help but not for me... I am very light (ecru in EL Double Wear, calico in No7) but I didn't fancy fake tanning myself orange to match the oxidisation

I used to be fine with bare minerals but found that recently it began to sit extremely patchily on my skin, and it was oxidising terribly on DSis. I think your skin changes as you age too - I've just had to change foundation.

What bare minerals are you using? The original? What colour?

I use the pressed foundation in R310 and the touch up veil in tan. I'm olive skinned so I'm used to looking more tanned in photos than my English Rose friends and my paler than milk son but this is a whole new level, and just in photos.

My DH, who is not backwards in coming forward if something doesn't look right, has said that I don't look like I'm wearing make up since I've been using the BM. That's where my berocca comment came from, I look like me, but on a really good day. Like I've had enough sleep and several gallons of water.
