Makeup in Photos

[preppy]

I feel like when I go out I look pretty good then when people take photos I look washed out and tired in them. Is my makeup wearing off? I am sick of looking like crap in pictures!! I use photo finish primer and bare minerals makeup (concealer, foundation, mineral veil, etc), and UD eye makeup. What's the deal here? I don't want to wear heavy makeup as I prefer a natural look.

When you have your picture taken, you have to wear heavier make-up (much like when you're on stage you have to over-exaggerate your makeup). Especially if you're in non-natural light. However, if you wear that much makeup on the regular, it doesn't look natural.

Well damn. I guess I will just look crappy in photos. How do other people not look washed out? Do people not wear SPF on their face? I feel like I can't give up SPF in my moisturizer cause I would rather look washed out in pics then get wrinkles and more skin cancer.

I need a personal makeup artist to do airbrush daily. I look fabulous in photos when I have airbrush makeup on, haha.

The tips I've gotten is to use yellow-tinted powder rather than white tinted powder. Even though you don't see it with your eyes, the camera picks up on it and can wash you out. Also you could wear more blush, but that's a hard one because you don't want to look overdone in person.

I have read that Bare Minerals makeup generally doesn't show up well in photos. Something about the ingredients.

I always find that when I put on tons of blush and a dusting of bronzer my photos come out great (like I almost have to go a little heavy on it).

I've also heard that BM doesn't photograph well. I noticed when trying it that it didn't seem to stay on me very well. I didn't worry about that much since I figured it out the same time I realized I was allergic to it.

Also, I found this for you Preppy:

I love that!! Thanks:)

Maybe I will try a sample of diff makeup in a pic and see if it's the bare minerals. Thanks ladies!!
