My fiance and I are going to be taking our engagement photos in June, luckily my fiance's brother in law is a photographer and will be shooting our pictures with his Canon. I was wondering what foundation to use that won't make me look white in the photos or too shiny. Right now, I use Bare Minerals and MAC Matchmaster liquid foundation which contains spf 15, would either of these be good to use? I know some cameras now adjust to skin tones but I want to double check before taking them. I am going to Ulta later today so I may try out some light/medium coverage suggestions there!.

I know that spf adds whiteness but were going to be taking them on a beach and I would like some sun protection will spf 10 or 15 hurt my photos?

The best thing to do is a test run of the makeup and then shoot some pix with whatever camera you have access too. A pro camera is only going to make things look better, so if you can pass the point-and-shoot test, you should be good to go for the real shot. The main thing is to work with the right shade for your skin and to figure out the final texture you want. Do you want to be powdered so you have no shine or a bit dewey for that no-makeup-makeup look? If you're buying new products, definitely do a test run so you're not experimenting the day of.
The other important thing for an engagement shot is that you have a great time too! Often, people choke up because they're working with a pro, it's the engagement shot, etc. etc. Have fun with it. You'll get the best results if you enjoy yourself while you do the shoot.
I hope you'll post the pix when they're done!

Thank you for your reply it was extremely helpful! Since we are pretty close to our photographer I will get a chance to do a practice shoot! I also went to Ulta today and found a NYX spf free photo ready foundation that was very affordable that I am going to play with to see how it works on camera and I will also try out the MAC that I have. And of course I will post the pictures on here as soon as I can! =]
