What makes setting powder flashback?

Oh, the dreaded powder flashback during photo shoots! You love the make-up. Your make-up artist loves the make-up. In natural or studio light, everything looks fantastic. And then the flash goes off. One look at the preview screen and the truth comes out. Everywhere powder was applied, your face is glowing white. It even happens to celebrities: http://imabeautygeek.com/2011/04/07/mystery-solved-why-all-the-white-powder-on-that-celebrity-face/. What can you? How do you know if your beloved powder will betray you?

Know your powders and take a few minutes to test them for yourself.

It is a common misconception that HD powders are great for all kinds of photography. That is sadly untrue. HD powders (and makeup) were designed for HD video cameras, not flash photography. They look gorgeous in video and in person, so it's hard not to want to use them for everything.

If you love your HD powder, and don't want a second powder for photos, use your powder very sparingly and blend it well. I don't use HD powders for setting the whole face, just where I want to control shine or brighten and smooth the skin.

For social dancers, I strongly recommend colorless powders for setting long-wear make-up when transfer-resistance is essential. There are colorless powders that set long-wear make-up very well and make skin look beautiful. That's why it's so important to check how your own powders perform.

So how can you tell if your powder is going to flash white in flash photos?

First step, don't panic. If your favorite powder has the potential to flash white, due to high titanium dioxide or silica content for example, sparing use and thorough blending will minimize the effect. For better control, I use smaller brushes (blush or contour brushes, or even eye shadow brushes for powder under the eyes) rather than the large, fluffy kabuki-style brushes.

Second step, check your powders. On your bathroom counter, line up your powders. For loose powder in jars, make sure there is a fair amount of powder above the screen to show up in the picture. Then, turn off the light and take a picture with your phone, making sure that the flash feature is on.

This was my group:

From left to right, top to bottom: NYX HD Loose Powder, tarte smooth operator pressed powder, IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Loose Setting Powder, MAC Prep+Prime transparent setting powder, Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder #1 tarte smooth operator loose powder, Estee Lauder Double Wear in Ecru, MAC Light Plus Mineralize Skin Finish, Estee Lauder Lucidity in Transparent, Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Base SPF 20 in Radiant, Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder in Light.

As you can see, the tinted powders were fine under the flash, and most tinted powders are great in flash photos. High titanium dioxide content can cause it too lighten up quite a bit, so blend well if you're not sure - and take a test shot.

With the colorless powders, judging flashback is a little more tricky. The top 6 powders are white, so of course they're going to photography white. What I was looking for was a more telltale "glow". I was looking for bright, not just white.

The pressed NYX HD setting powder (top far left) is bright, but less so than the tarte powder next to it. There isn't a halo and it doesn't look so much like it's shining. Chances are that it will still flash white if applied very heavily, so a light hand and good blending are key.

The pressed tarte smooth operator to the right of NYX is definitely "glowing" white. This one is better for 'out and about' make-up, and on film/video etc., but not appropriate for flash photography.

The top two pots in the group of four (right side), are a bit of a mixed bag. The top cream-colored powder is the IT Cosmetics Bye-Bye Pores loose powder and it didn't flash white at all. Next to that is the MAC Prep+Prime transparent finishing powder which, while white, dos not appear to flash or glow much compared to the others.

Below the other two, is Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Under-Eye Powder #1 (left) which glows mostly because of the slight shimmer in the powder. Next, the loose tarte smooth operator (right) which glows bright just as much as the pressed variety (pressed and loose powders have different formulations, even if they have the same name.)

NOTE: The stripes were applied to bare skin. In hindsight, I should have applied primer and foundation first. With make-up applied first, the powder has more to "stick" to and the effect would be a bit stronger. The results and advice are the same, however - flash-test your powders, apply them sparingly, and blend very well.

I decided to check the 4 worst offenders, from the photo above, on my skin to see how bad it really looked. Here are four stripes, applied heavily and unblended. The picture is in a darkened room with a flash.

From left to right:

NYX HD Pressed Powder, tarte smooth operator pressed, Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder #1, and last on the far right, tarte smooth operator loose powder.

From this picture it looks like a little blending out might take care of much of the problem.

The second picture below shows the powders blended out to a level I would normally apply (to myself or to someone else.) The tarte smooth operator pressed powder and the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder blend down quite well. Mercier's powder shows up mostly as shimmer at this point, so a light application is essential. NYX and tarte's smooth operator stayed looking brighter even when well blended.

This whole process took about 10 minutes, so it's worth using your phone and just double checking for yourself how your own powders perform.

One last note, for BB creams, foundations, contour creams and powders etc., especially those products with high SPF, it might be worth going through the same process as I showed above. Just take a few minutes to photograph swatches on your skin with a flash to make sure you won't get any surprises later.

The first known photograph was captured in 1826 when light reacted with a particular type of asphalt known as Bitumen of Judea. Since that first natural

Since that first natural light photo, photographers have introduced artificial flash lighting to photos through all kinds of different ways.. Needing to ignite flash powder by hand was an extremely dangerous endeavor that could seriously injure the photographer and those in close proximity.. Photo by Race Gentry The flash lamp was typically connected to the shutter of camera boxes, allowing for the flash to be activated as the photographer snapped the photograph.. Despite Bunsen and Roscoe’s idea being around first, flash powder was more widely adopted by photographers looking for a bit of artificial light.. Photo by Jussi While the flash lamp was able to make the practice of flash photography a bit safer, it was still very dangerous when compared to today’s standards.. A photographic flash bulb.. Photo by Gotanero In 1927, the first flash bulbs were produced by General Electric (some argue that they were initially made by the Vacublitz company in Germany).. Instead of lighting magnesium powder in the open air, flash bulbs were closed lamps that contained a magnesium filament along with oxygen gas.. Of course, flash bulbs were far from the perfect solution: the bulbs tended to be incredibly fragile and could only be used once.. Some interesting quirks of flash bulbs include the fact that the time needed to reach full brightness and the maximum duration of the flash were both longer than the electronic flash units of today.. As a result, cameras with flash synchronization capabilities typically fired the flash bulb before opening the shutter to expose the film.. Current smartphones use LED flashes as a source of light when photographing in low light conditions.

Do You Remember Flashcubes? Here is a brief history and working of the flashcubes.

Later for brighter light from the flash, magnesium was replaced by Zirconium.. Flash Bulb Containing Filaments Of Magnesium: These compact little pieces were developed in the 1960s by Sylvania Electric Products after which Kodak replaced the flashbulb technology on their Instamatic series of cameras with flashcubes.. Each bulb has its own miniature reflector and the camera had a socket to insert these cubes (very similar to how we have a hot shoe these days) .. This also provides the electrical connection for the shutter release inside the camera.. When the shutter is released, a tiny hammer linked to the shutter release mechanism is actuated that strikes the base of the bulb setting off the charge in the primer.

That was the flash powder.. However, the amount of light that these mixtures produce, is something that has not ceased to be interesting.. The powder was placed in a trough and timely were poured over the flames producing light that was for sure very strong as a large quantity of flash powder could be burnt in one stroke.. The light does not come exactly from where the powder is.. It is difficult to speak in power with such rudimentary technology, but I’ve done photos with flash powder during sunny days and it is a fact that one can clearly notice that the magic coffee spoon gives a good softened on shadows to subjects around 4 meters away.. About timing check the post Agfa Flash Lampe, there are further considerations about timing.. A fast fuse can be ignited electrically, and then light up the flash powder, in case the electric igniter is not sufficient to start the process with a mixture of potassium nitrate and magnesium.. The high “wall” that rises behind the gutter is something that I thought would be good thing to create a more protected area behind, generally where the camera and photographer are, and as a light bouncer.. Unlike fireworks flash powder does not produce an explosion and accordingly is less dangerous, but, again, there are very high temperatures, it is fast and leaves no time to reaction.

Flashback is one of those makeup words that some people fear or else one that a lot of people aren't even aware of! If you're someone reading this and wondering what is flashback it is basically  a reaction between your face and the physical flash of a camera. Yes of course it makes you look brighter and more obvious in certain situations but when SPF or heavy powders are involved it can be make you look casper-like or as if you have a load of talcum powder on your face….supposedly. Ever wondered why you're ghostly white in the middle of your friends even though you have three layers of tan on? Well know you know! Basically, all the fancy makeup technology that protects your face from the sun is stuff that’s built to reflect light. So when a flash fires directly at your face, the result is known as “flashback”... however flashback does not always happen whenever you see the word SPF and so that's why I have put this blog together to must some of those myths.   SPF & Bridal MakeUp: I have been doing wedding makeup for years and its one of the parts of my job that I love the most. I would also hear day in and day out how ‘you shouldn't wear SPF on your wedding day’. Firstly SPF is very important to wear daily regardless if you're in sunny spain or rainy Ireland and you shouldn't feel like you absolutely can not wear it on your big day because the reasoning is silly. Yes SPF is known to make you look paler but the truth is not all SPFs do and certain blends of it are worse than others and this is the reason I am putting this blog together to bust some of the myths!!  Its also important to note that flash is only used by some photographers in certain situations or at the end of the night on your pal’s iPhone. It does not mean that every photograph you take will be a direct flash as photographers and self obsessed selfie-takers will be searching for natural light as much as possible I am guessing…if this is the case flash is not involved. If you're having your wedding inside all day chances are no SPF will need to be involved and so you can wear whatever base you would like. If you're going to be part outside and part inside and are worried about how you might photograph inside not all products with SPF flashback particularly not ones that have the correct blend and then sometimes the ones that have the least amount of SPF in them flash back the worst which leads me to believe that there is some sort of imbalance between talc or silica or SPF all in one. So here are some tips for busting that flashback...  So where does SPF come into it? You can wear it on its own as a layer, built into your primer, moisturiser or foundation it really depends on the products you use. I personally love a good double up product so would use a base that acts as a primer, SPF 30 and moisturiser all in one. Regardless of whether SPF is reacting or not a flash is known to be more harsh than day light which you'll see in my pictures below. When we were building our Second Skin we wanted to have a mineral makeup SPF50 foundation and we knew we could do this and not have any flashback because its all down to the mix of ingredients inside with talc thats in some foundations etc! This is me wearing Medium Plus with an iPhone flash directly in front of me and nothing changes, i.e No Flashback!   I have tried numerous foundations over my career and creating Second Skin was the ultimate winner for me to have a buildable coverage, look like skin but protect as you go. But lets take a look at other brands and see how they wear. First up is NARS Longwear Radiant. This doesn't contain SPF fyi. Check out this Natural Light vs Flash Light pic here; Natural Light will always be more flattering on however the flash shows the effect of that light but you can see its not making me grey or ashy and its not reacting to anything inside the foundation. MAC Studio Fix is another popular bridal foundation that brides would assume they cannot wear given it contains SPF15. So yes it does have a slight flashback and has a lot of talc so its good for a one day use but I wouldn't over do it a it can dry the skin out. Even though it has SPF15 I don't find the flashback that bad at all. It's subtle and sometimes it can be flattering to have a very very slightly lighter face.   Estee Lauder Double Wear, this foundation is heavy on but it lasts. You may think it only contains an SPF10 so its fine but whatever blend of SPF it has combined with the high powder content makes it is notorious for a harsh flashback to the point that I would avoid using it in certain instances.   See my natural vs flash light wearing this here. As you can see the flashback causes a much stronger greyish tinge to the face and in certain situations (the darker the room, the whiter it could be).   Don't put all the emphasis on foundations with SPF however... A lot of us focus so much on what foundations have SPF in them and what not to wear when sometimes it can be other factors such as your powders and concealers that contribute to flashback more so. Powders containing silica for example are killers for flashback..something like the MakeUp ForeverHD is a big culprit when applied incorrectly. Its not the powders fault as it is deigned for tv its more about how much of it people actually apply. Im sure we have all seen those scary images of celebs with the red carpet faux pas such as below;  Another big factor that can make flashback more obvious is wearing a shockingly bright under eye concealer. Yes going a shade or two lighter than your foundation is nice but too much of a difference will only causes issues with flash. So avoid using one so bright and again packing on a silica filled powder as I have done here: FYI Laura Mercier translucent powder doesn't contain silica but it is full of talc, either does the Charlotte Tilbury Genius Powder although that doesn't smell great at all! In Summary: It wont affect you if you photographer doesn't use a lot of flash particularly if its not direct! Not all products that contain SPF cause flashback so don't avoid using everything with an SPF in it when you should be wearing it!  Our Second Skin has an SPF50 in it but it wont flashback. Our Beauty Base has SPF30 in it and also won't flashback. It is stronger the more fake tan you wear ie the darker the colour and the more you depart from your natural shade of course the flashback will be more severe. Flashback is worse with the more matte, talc containing foundations. There are ways to bring SPF into your makeup just selecting the right ones. Don’t focus all of your attention on the base or foundation as sometimes the problem can lie with the powder/concealer on top too!
