I'm getting my senior pictures done soon, and I need some makeup help. Most of my foundations have spf in them, which I don't want to wear in my pictures since it doesn't photograph well. So if you have any medium-full coverage foundations that photograph well, let me know :) and any other senior picture makeup tips as well.

I know Revlon's colour stay has spf in it but it photographs like nothing else! I did my grad pictures with it (My profile pic for example) and my skin looked flawless in all of them. Not only does it work amazingly but it's cheap. GO DRUGSTORE!! =]

I've been meaning to try out the Makeup Forever HD foundation for a while so I might try that out. Thanks for the tips!
And yeah I use Revlon Colorstay now so if all else fails I can just stick with that.

The photographers will be using SLR cameras to take your photo most likely. I highly recommend you DO NOT use a drug store brand foundation. They usually contain Titanium Dioxide, which when worn during flash photography will give you a white sheen on your face. I recommend you use Makeup forever (as others have posted) or smashbox with a good primer. Make sure to keep the look clean and even, since with camera will pick up the smallest imperfections Hope this helps!
This photo is an example of using drugstore foundation with a DSLR camera... The face has a ghostly appearance that did not appear in the natural lighting.

Oh wow, good to know. Thanks for the tips! I wish we had a Sephora around here so I could go test out the Muakeup Forever. I don't want to end up with the wrong shade!

I used Maybelline Dream Liquid Foundation or w/e its called...i think yall know which one im talking about...and my senior pics turned out fine. They fix the photos so I don't see it being that big of a deal or anything to worry about. One of my friends dont even wear makeup and hers turned out fine bc they will edit the pics and eveerything like that.
