Your liquid foundation most probably contains 'light reflecting particles'. These are very popular at the moment, particularly if your foundation advertises anit-aging effects or glow effects. The particles reflect the light of a camera flash rather dramatically - be especially careful of products like YSL's touche eclat - it can make panda eyes if you apply too liberally.
Basically, you may want to consider investing in new foundation, one without the mica content (the reflecting particles). Good luck!

While there's definitely a chance of having the wrong color foundation/powder, if the products have SPF in them, that is likely to be a big reason as to why you're turning so white in photos. SPF reflects light like no other, and this can cause that ghost-effect that you're talking about.
Or it could also be a case of a bad photographer with too much flash going on ;) I'm not sure how close of a photo you're taking, in what conditions, etc. so it truly could be the result of a poor camera, conditions, or photographer. A lot of cameras can't handle using flash when taking closer shots of faces, and they will tend to wash out the colors (turning them white).

Sounds like the liquid might be the wrong color...or if it has any kind of shimmer in it, it could reflect light from the flash, making your face appear lighter. A powder is more sheer anyway, so it's not going to stick to your face as well and last as long. Are you using just 'face powder', or a powder foundation? I suggest using a powder foundation as opposed to liquid. It looks more natural, it's not as messy, you don't have to apply another layer of powder over it as you might with a liquid, and it's not as thick, so it won't feel like a mask or possibly clog your pores as much. If you must use a liquid, try using a sheer liquid foundation or a super-blendable one like L'oreal's.

I have the same problem!
I think it depends if the foundation is really 'mattified', i.e. covers up all your imperfections.
I think a bronzer would be the best way to prevent your face from being stark white in photos but I'm not 100% sure. Try it and see.
Or you could switch to translucent make up, or just a tinted moisturiser instead of the foundation + bronzer combo.

The extra organic the products you employ are the extra useful and person-friendly the products are going to be. attempt Logona Mint cleansing Foam. i like it, it have been given rid of my zits and dissolves oil, after wards tone your pores and skin (to assist the PH stability on your pores and skin) attempt Sea Breeze Actives Deep cleansing Astringent (interior the yellow bottle), after the toner dries use Biore twin Fusion Moisturizer SPF30 (pat on the moisturizer). do this as quickly as an afternoon. you need to use Cleure Facial %. incorporates cleanser, toner, day and nighttime cream. the products are common, sensible, and that they paintings fairly very nicely. they're stable for all pores and skin varieties, and final a protracted time. in case you don’t opt to apply any product then attempt organic strategies: Drink 8 glasses of water an afternoon sparkling your bedding another day Get a minimum of 8 hours of sleep each and every nighttime Take a multi diet

I get it sometimes too. Its because the flash and lighting messes it up. Test around with the right setting on your camera to get a better lighting. And don't worry. 99% of the time its the camera lighting and that is not how you actually look.

The make up that you are wearing is too light for you complexion, try matching the make up just a little darker than your skin.

then you are probably using the wrong tone OR you're wearing too much liquid.
