Every Girl’s Nightmare – How to Avoid Foundation Flashback

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 28, 2017September 28, 2017Leave a Comment

They came, they saw, yet you were the one left horrified! In the world of makeup, flashback is VERY real and at times happens to the most unsuspecting victims. It’s time to end this photo nightmare once and for all dolls! Today, we are going to teach you exactly how to avoid foundation flashback in all of your photos.

Every Girl’s Nightmare – How to Avoid Foundation Flashback

Thanks to social media platforms such as Instagram, foundation flashback is no longer just an issue plaguing only rich and famous celebrities. Most likely, you have seen this very unfortunate beauty blunder on a red carpet or two. The starlet in person looks absolutely breath-taking and then the cameras flash! All of sudden, the resulting photographs are casting a spotlight dead center on concealer or foundation that looks lighter than all other areas of the face.

That ladies and gentlemen in a nutshell is what we call foundation flashback. If you’re still not quite sure, please take a brief moment to review the evidence at the outset of this article as well as right below this sentence.

Got it? Well, then you are probably like well 1966 that kicks rocks so how do we avoid foundation flashback? Very simple. It all starts with a product’s formula.

Say what? Yes! Most of the issues surrounding foundation flashback have absolutely nothing to do with how a wearer applies their makeup. A lot of the fault and blame is found right in the ingredients. Therefore, what ingredients or kinds of products should be avoided?

Glad that you asked. First and foremost, try to avoid foundation that contains SPF. Now if you do not plan to take pictures during your outing than by all means use this type of foundation. However, if pics are in fact on the menu it is best that you abstain from this particular type of makeup.

Nevertheless, if you have a SPF foundation that makes you look like Naomi Campbell, Bey or RiRi and you can’t leave home without it on, we glad to tell you that there is a work around. You will need to set your foundation… correctly. In this case, you will want to utilize a setting powder that has color in it. Such a toned powder will help act like shield against flashback.

How to Avoid Foundation Flashback – Run, Don’t Walk!

Besides SPF there are few other things you want to be on the lookout for in your products. For instance, if you see Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide you may want to be a little wary. Especially, if they are active ingredients. Meaning that they are in high concentrations within the product formula. The bigger the amount the higher the risk.

What about mineral makeup? Many beauty experts argue back and forth about this. Some say its bad, others herald that you can work with it. Nevertheless, it should be noted that mineral makeup usually contains Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide. Remember, we discussed these two guys earlier? So then, when it comes to mineral makeup caution should be used.

While for some mineral makeup may not cause a flashback, they do run into the problem of tons of illumination. This is because once any flash contacts the makeup it can make skin look super shiny. To combat this issue you will need to blot skin often in order to reduce shine. Moreover, to be absolutely sure your mineral makeup will not be problematic it is best to run a test; but, more on that in a moment.

Lastly, you will want to give a side eye to HD foundations. Especially, when these babies are 100% Silica. Seriously, run don’t walk away! HDs such as this are the pits and if you use more than a very fine, light amount they are guaranteed to show up! So if you plan to use a heavy hand with HD foundation just say no in the name of all things picture taking.

Avoid Foundation Flashback – The Test

As a wise person once said, “Testing a product is a learning process.” So then, if you never do a test you will not really know how a product will perform. The quickest and easiest way to test for flashback is to take a picture with the camera’s flash on. Your smartphone’s camera will do just fine.

Simply apply your makeup like you normally would and then snap a flash photo. Carefully study the results. Does any part of your face have that “ghostly,” dusty white powder effect going on? If not, then you are good to go! However, if you look like a distant cousin of Casper then you have learned the deadly truth about your foundation and need to avoid using it when its time to slay while saying cheese.

Want a little more help in this makeup matter? Here is a nifty video that will help you learn how to set your foundation in order to avoid foundation flashback. This video demonstrates how to use the “baking” technique. Not quite sure what baking is? No worries this tutorial will explain that too, enjoy!

If you answered yes to any of those questions then setting powder is about to become your new makeup bag friend!

Beauty Quickie: Setting Powder -The Key to the Makeup Slay

First of all, it is important to acknowledge that there are different face powders all with various purposes. Many at times confuse setting powder with finishing powder. However, the two are not the same and have different functions. Yet, when used together both powders can help you achieve complexion perfection. In our post tomorrow we will will fully explain the distinguishing factors between the two products.

Nevertheless, why use setting powder instead of just regular foundation? Well, setting powder is designed to work in harmony with your foundation. In order to give things extra control if you will. This is because setting powder can provide additional holding power, thus “setting” your look into place and prolonging wear.

Moreover, besides preventing your makeup from rubbing off powders that set can do much more! Setting powders also can help to reduce any shine or illumination as well as sticky feeling that can occur after foundation is applied.

The Item: Jourdan Dunn Wearing Naeem Khan Fall 2017 RTW (ready to wear). The supermodel was spotted in her delicious gown while attending the 2017 amFAR Milano Gala.

You Asked: Wow what a beautiful dress! Jourdan always looks nice but her dress is really pretty. I would wear it in a heartbeat. Can you please tell me the fashion designer behind her dress? Would love to see more from whoever it is. Thank you.

Ask and Tell: Jourdan Dunn Wearing Naeem Khan Fall 2017 RTW

The Verdict: We have to concur with you, Jourdan Dunn’s dress is very lovely! For the 2017 amFAR Milano Gala Miss Dunn wore a floor length, graphic print dress by Naeem Khan. The look is from the Naeem Khan Fall 2017 RTW (ready to wear) collection.

Furthermore, we also love the way Jourdan styled her gorgeous gown. For instance, the model who originally wore the ensemble down the runway incorporated a stacked pearl necklace as well as long, chandelier earrings. The result is in fact beautiful, but as they always say less can so much more. The minimal use of accessories as seen on Dunn allows all focus to remain the gown which was exquisitely designed.
