Kill That Ghostface

Have you ever gotten dressed to the nines, perfected the shape of your eyeliner and glossed those lips only to review the pictures of your big night and realize that you look like krusty the clown?
Example…



Here are a few tips to prevent this happening to you.
• Stick to matte colours if you plan to be photographed heavily. Limiting the amount of shiny/glittery products in your blush, eyeshadow and powder will minimize the amount of reflection from the flash

• Try a powder with a more yellowish undertone over a translucent powder, which are usually made up of a high amount of talc.

• Most importantly- Stay Away from foundations with Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide or Zinc Oxide aka SPF. This is ONE of the many reasons why the ever worshipped Mac Fix Fluid and I ended our love affair o so many moons ago. The high SPF content had me looking like Casper in a flour fight. Look for foundations specifically made for Television and photography. These have a minimal amount of SPF if any at all and will have your skin looking flawless.

My personal favourite is Makeup Forever’s HD Foundation. Not only does it come in a wide selection of colours for darker skin tones, Makeup Forever’s HD was specially formulated for use in front of High Definition camera's where imperfections are wayyy more noticeable. Now I haven't tested it out in front of a Warner Brothers's $1,000,000 camera but in front of my basic Sony Digital Camera I can say it does deliver.
