I look pale / white in my photos? Foundation recommendations?

Question

Can you recommend me a foundation that won't make me look too white in photos?

Answer 1

Try bronzer and blusher that will look really nice x

But being pale is nice where pale pink lipgloss or lipstick with pale skin that looks really nice.

Use nivea pearl and pink lipbalm in superdrug or body care.

Get your skin colour foundation to blend and even out your skin tone then apply your skin colour pressed powder and put on bronzer and blush you'll look fine.

I'm pale and I don't mind it I wear pinks and browns and dark shadows to brighten my face.

Hope I helped xxxxxx

Answer 2

Bare Minerals.

They sell it at Sephora.

I'm a beauticians and I would recommend if you use a bronzing also put a little bit on your neck and chest so it evens your face out.

Its okay to get a shade darker than you are but don't go too overboard with it.

Also self-tanner kits work very well if your not into the whole tanning bed thing.  But if your considering that you need to know what kinds are good and what kinds are bad.

If some of the self tanners contain Aloe Vera or other well known minerals/moisturizers they are very good.

I highly recommend Neutrogena's bronzing cream.

Answer 3

You should never wear a foundation that is a different colour from your natural skin tone...you will look orange and like you are wearing a mask if you do (very unattractive!!).

The best thing to do is use a good quality fake tan all over your body and then a special one for your face. This will mean that your tan will look natural and (if its good quality fake tan...!) NOT orange : D

Answer 4

I would not use foundation to look darker, you will look like a 2 tone hot mess. I suggest using some bronzer on your cheeks, nose and forhead. Also, make sure you have a shade lighter concealer under your eyes than your foundation. Then when you add the bronzer, the contrast will make your cheeks and eyes pop. Here are a few great bronzers I have used...

(All available at Sephora)

Smashbox Desert Chic Fusion Body Bronzing Powder & Brush Set $55

Bare Escentuals bareMinerals  Bronzer $22- MY FAVORITE!

Also, unless you are really broken out, I would suggest NEVER using a liquid foundation. Try a loose powder. I use the Bare Minerals collection....its a powder foundation and  its 100% natural. Its minerals, not makeup! So its safe for your skin. I think liquid foundations are a thing of the past!

Answer 5

no coz then it'll make it look like you gotta a mask on duh. you have to use the foundation right for you skin tone. try some bronzer and blush

Answer 6

I used to use bare minerals which was okay in photos, but I just switched to everyday minerals because it doesn't have bismuth oxychloride so it's not so shiny and reflective. For photos, usually I use the darkest possible foundation that will still match my skin tone, making sure I blend it to my ears and down my neck, and use blush or bronzer on my cheeks, temples and jaw - just think of making a 3 on each side of your face. The problem may be the camera(s) taking the photos, if the while balance or exposure is off there's not really anything you will be able to do to not look so white. My camera at work is that way, it makes me look like a vampire no matter how tan I am.
