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!

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.

Also, you will love how the Micellar Wipes have been formulated. For one they contain Micellar Water. What’s that you ask?

Nevertheless, MAC Cosmetics senior artist, Ashley Rudder shared a few additional deets regarding the wipes,

“Now you can gently swipe away makeup, smudges, dirt and grime, while carefully coddling instead of stripping or stressing skin. Created specifically for sensitive skin and eyes. These non-irritating towelettes gently remove makeup, leaving the face feeling clean, refreshed, soothed and perfectly primed for makeup or moisturizer.

Feels as good as water on skin, with the benefit of erasing every last trace of makeup! MAC Cosmetics Gently Off Micellar Wipes available online and in-store September 7th in the permanent line.”

Fenty Beauty Sneak Peek! Mark Calendars, Dropping Online September 8

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 1, 2017September 1, 2017Leave a Comment

Raise your hand if you want a Fenty Beauty Sneak Peek! Rihanna’s cosmetics line for a “new generation” is coming straight to your finger tips in just days. What’s on deck? Think major glow up products, lip gloss and oh so much more!

Fenty Beauty Sneak Peek! Mark Calendars, Dropping Online September 8

Are you ready? Fenty Beauty by Rihanna finally let the cat take a breath of fresh air out of the bag. The brand released a couple of visuals giving just a taste of what’s to be expected.

What is extremely noticeable right off the bat is a distinct deviation from the current mainstream look. Forget intense contour, cake face, heavy drawn on brows or boisterous eyeshadows tones. Thus far, Fenty Beauty appears rather “au natural.”

Literally, one of the only 2017 makeup trends we saw within any of the images seem to be highlighter as well as metallics. Then again, when was the last time anyone said that Rihanna’s makeup looked “so piled on and just like everyone else?” Therefore, it is a very nice departure that Rih is staying true to herself and designing her collection based on how she likes her own makeup to look.

Furthermore, one of the things we also adore when it comes to this sneak peek is the range of skin tones. Rih addresses girls from light to deep. At times certain shades in the spectrum get ignored. However, by the looks of things Rihanna is keeping girls of all colors close in mind.

It’s going down huh? Get your Fenty Beauty on when it drops Friday, September 8th (2017)! WARNING: Have a girls sleepover and stay up because purchasing begins promptly at 12 a.m.

2017 Beauty Trend: Squiggly Brows – Will You Ride This Wave?

Arianne Suggs August 31, 2017August 31, 2017Leave a Comment

Uhm… what in the brows on fleek is going on? This week a spanking new beauty trend turned the makeup and cosmetics realms right on their respective heads. Literally, no one saw this coming and no one can quite figure out how it began. However, squiggly brows are here and they are taking over social media faster than a lightening strike. Have you seen these wavy eyebrows and are you brave enough to give it a world?

2017 Beauty Trend: Squiggly Brows – Will You Ride This Wave?

This newest eyebrow trend is starting to remind us of a popular candy commercial tagline. First they’re sour and then they’re sweet. When the squiggly brows trend first hit it was immediately taken as, “Issa no for me dawg.” Nevertheless, now thoughts on these brows are starting to be more mixed. Some still are not quite feeling them, while others find them sort of intriguing.

Squiggly Brows are exactly what you think. Instead of arched or slighted rounded shapes, these brows literally look like Richter scale readings. Ups and downs, hills and valleys.

In some ways this look has a very futuristic vibe. Like come 3017, makeup enthusiasts might be referring to these brows as classic and retro chic. However, as a now they feel more like girls got tired of playing with their baby hairs so now they have decided to play with other hair on their face.

Furthermore, in cases like these we always like to see how the masses truly feel about these uniquely bold trends. Here is what people are saying online right now:

“How y’all do this?? Amazing.”

“But why do I actually love them.”

“What is this.”

“Dem brows though.”

“Ew.”

“It’s actually really cute!”

“Why is this happening.”

“Do people brush their eyebrows that way??”

“Lmao.”

“Please tell me these ain’t real.”

“First feather brows and now this.”

“It lowkey looks cute on you.”
