Make up looks white in pics?

Question

I am currently using MAC Studio Fix NW45 but it's too costly to keep buying. I'm trying to switch over to something from the regular store. I bought Revlon Deep powder but it comes out looking whitish in pics even though the shade appears to match when I look in the mirror. Why is it appearing white in pictures? I am not using a foundation, or anything else. I am wondering if I should be buying foundation and not powder.

Answer 1

Your buying a shade too light for your skin, if it looks ok in the mirror invest in a good strong lamp or better yet move your mirror beside a strong natural light source.

Answer 2

when you take a pictures go on www.picnik.com or .co.uk cnt member which one   :S

Answer 3

"Yaz" is right you are buying your powder in a shade too light for your skintone.

Option #2: Try a bronzer on the apples of your cheeks for more depth.

Answer 4

It's only appearing white because of the flash of the camera. Or maybe the lighting is bright so it makes your skin look really light. I don't wear foundation since i find it cakey and it gets oily throughout the day. I'd die without my concealer and powder haha =]
