Fenty Foundation Flashback

[Anonymous]

Does anyone else get crazy FLASHBACK with this foundation ? It matches me so perfect it’s like skin , but the flashback is insane ! I even bought one 3 shades darker than my skin and it still shows a white cast with flash photography .

It could be the talc in the formula. Or whatever gives Fenty that powdery look. Dry skin doesn't have the oil to counter those mattifiers. If you find a foundation gives the look of powder sitting on your skin (like Fenty does for me), chances are it will bounce back light. Especially dead-on, close-up, bright flash. I save those foundations for daytime or places I know I won't be photographed. Have you tried mixing it with something else (oil, dewy foundation) to see if you get different results?
