Photo friendly foundation

I am starting a YouTube channel about philosophy and while my main focus should not be about my looks it is.  I am very concerned with how I look on camera so I need help finding a foundation and concealer that work well for the media.

 

I have heard a lot of people are talking about flashback from makeup and I don't even know what that means. I use IT Cosmetics CC Cream because I like the full coverage but I think I need a foundation with no SPF for my work on camera.  Does anyone have experience with makeup for photos and videos?  Can you tell me what products I should use that will be flattering on camera for a 40 year old?   I like a full coverage foundation and concealer.  I use It Bye Bye Pores pressed powder for my T-zone and I use Hourglass Veil setting powder.  Are these powders ok to use on camera?  Any guidance is appreciated.  Thank You!

Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are what give the dreaded flashback, however it does not happen with digital images. Silica is what causes it in powders. I don’t have experience in film however Smashbox was created in a photo studio for photographers so I would imagine you would be safe going with any of their face products.
