Im having a photoshoot in January and i need to know a good foundation to buy!
Obviously it cant have SPF in it as i dont want that 'white' look on my face in the photos

I would love it if it was something more high end rather than drug store.. so i know im getting my moneys worth

someone suggested Estee Lauder double wear to me but i looked on the site and it has SPF10 in it so that wont be any good..

and also what mac flase lashes would look quite long, full, but natural looking?​

I'm not sure what sunscreen Estee Lauder uses, if it is titanium dioxide then it likely will flashback. Have you considered using one of the professional foundations like MUFE or Face Atelier?
I don't know about the MAC lashes, hopefully someone else will come along with a suggestion. I find that individual lashes look more natural.

aww i would love to try those brands but we dont have them here in the uk!

brands that i can get my hands on are: MAC [although most of them have SPF], dior, lancome, estee lauder, elizabeth arden, biotherm, benefit, bourjois, maxfactor, maybelline, nyc, l'oreal, clinique, too faced, urban decay, bobbi brown, stila, chanel...

ive been looking all over and most foundations do have SPF nowadays and ive found 3 which i like so tell me what you think! i would also try clinique as they do great foundations but not sure which one

Hey im in the UK and i think i have tried every foundation ever!!!! My faves are MAC studio fix fluid, Lancome Teint idole, and YSL PERFECT TOUCH (its amazing has its own buikt in brush) i have heard amazing things about Giorgio Armani luminous silk foundation too xx
 
MAC Studio Fix is great for photoshoots. It's not for everyday wear but it makes people look flawless in photos.

If you have Smashbox around you, I would def go for the Photofinish Foundation.

MAC Studio Tech can also work well for photos.

whatever foundation you end up buying, if you're buying it just to use it on yourself for one shoot make sure you feel comfortable wearing it and that you like the way it looks on you. that way, you'll be likely to use it again and get your money's worth!
