i had some photos taken of me at a party the other week - and i look really ghostly in the face area.
i was assuming that it was because i'd worn products with sunscreen in them - my moisturiser and foundation both had an SPF 15. (yeah i know.. bad! i had nothing else to use...)
today i was chatting to someone who moonlights as a makeup artist, and firstly she told me that my foundation was too light and i should use a darker one. negative on that - a shot in natural light earlier in the evening looks fine. it's also the foundation colour i wear all the time... and the next shade darker makes me look like a roast.
after that was vetoed, she told me it must be because the colour is too cool on my skin, and i should use a warmer base instead. i got really confused here - as i was wearing a warm (yellow base) foundation in the picture.
has anyone ever heard of this theory? could a foundation that's too pink or too light cause brilliant ghost white skin in flash photography?
