Round, pale, dull face - help!

I have a very round face with big cheeks, especially when I smile. I hate photos of myself as all I can see is a big, flat white blob!

What I find so frustrating though is that when I do my make up at home I feel like I look completely different - my skin has some glow, I use bronzer that gives me colour and definition, there is overall more definition and colour to my face. I like how it looks in the mirror, it looks like I'm wearing nice make up IYKWIM?

But in photos or other mirrors at work for example, it's just a pale white mass with two beady eyes! I can't begin to explain the contrast. I look pale and dull, no colour or definition. I just look awful.

Why does this happen, can anyone explain? What can I do to make my face look better?!

My bathroom has amazing lighting it's really flattering. Unfortunately, I don't look so great in photos and real life.
