The dreaded flashback, the ghostly horror story that can happen to anyone and I’m sure we have all experienced it ourselves at some point, myself included! So why does it happen and how can we stop it?
Ever headed out for a night with the girls, taken plenty of selfies and cute group shots only to look at them the next morning and see your face is a glowing white orb floating above your bronzed body. Well that's flashback. This pesky white glow is notoriously known to be caused by SPF ingredients and silica. So what part of your makeup routine is causing you flashback?
If your foundation contains the minerals Titanium Dioxide and Zinc you’re putting yourself at high risk of flashback. This is because they contain bight white pigments made to reflect the sun's UV rays. Unfortunately they also reflect the camera flash resulting in a casper the friendly ghost situation…. not cute.
Then there’s Silica, the devil of flashback. Found in many translucent and HD powders, Silica is great for blurring the skin and creating a flawless matte look, containing light reflecting particles which work great on Hollywood film sets. However put these in front of flash photography and boom, your face becomes a strobe light for the night. If you’re noticing flash back under your eyes, don’t bake, reduce the concentration of this product underneath your eyes, or find a non silica powder.
Like a block of Caramilk, it's all fine in moderation. Small levels of Titanium Dioxide, Zinc and Silica shouldn't cause too many problems, however over use such products and you might find yourself in a pickle!
Here's my favourite FLASHBACK FREE POWDERS!
1. Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
$59.00 AUD
Great for setting both under the eyes and the entire face. This powder is finely milled and doesn't sit heavy on the skin. It is also oil free and has a silky matte finish. Best of all it has been specifically formulated to be Flashback Free and the shades Translucent and Translucent Honey contain no Silica, Zinc or Titanium Dioxide. This means if you are someone who enjoys baking this is possible with this powder without risking flashback.
2. Maybelline Master Fix Setting + Perfecting Loose Powder
$17.95 AUD
For those looking for a more budget friendly option, this Maybelline powder is a great choice. It's super finely milled which gives the skin a gorgeous soft focus finish leaving you FLAWLESS! However it does still contain small amounts of Silica so not recommended for baking!
Also no face is set perfectly without an amazing brush! Here are our top recommendations for setting brushes!
$25.00 AUD
The perfect brush for busy people on the go. Large and in charge, the tapered powder brush effortlessly sets the entire face quickly so you spend less time getting ready! The tapered shape also makes this brush great for applying bronzer because who doesn't love a 2 in 1.
$20.00 AUD
The name really says it all. This brush will be that best friend that you can always rely on to help you when no one else can! Perfectly shaped to set under the eyes and on top of the eyelids, this brush is also the perfect size for brushing away fall out, applying contour and even highlighter! The list goes on!

You actually make it seem really easy along with your presentation but I to find this topic to be really something which I think I would by no means understand.
It kind of feels too complex and extremely wide for me. I’m looking forward in your next
put up, I will try to get the hold of it!
Review my web page … AE888 (casinoae888.com)

été Vêtements pour bébé (Baby Clothes) moi le
plus exigeant et stressant à écrire de toute l’histoire de JamaisVulgaire.
Pas parce qu’il s’agit du premier article dédié à notre collaboration avec d’Avenza mais
plutôt car d’Avenza a été (et est bien parti pour redevenir) un pionnier de la confection de costumes en Italie (grâce à qui des maisons comme Kiton ou Brioni sont ce qu’elles sont aujourd’hui),
et qu’aucun media sérieux n’en a parlé jusqu’à présent, avec un article complet qui donne toute la
mesure de ce que cette maison représentait.
S’il y a un article sur tout le site dont je vous
encourage à lire chaque ligne, c’est bien celui-ci.
A la fin de l’article, vous pourrez vous inscrire à notre newsletter pour être
tenu au courant en premier de l’ouverture des rendez-vous de prise de mesure avec d’Avenza.

LE THREAD STYLEFORUM
Un thread Styleforum de 20 pages est consacré à d’Avenza, et
surtout aux modèles de l’usine d’origine.
Afin de rendre l’histoire de la marque un peu plus vivante, j’ai choisi d’appuyer le propos par une sélection de screenshots des posts
de clients d’Avenza sur ce thread Styleforum. Les avis sont tellement dithyrambiques
que je préfère apporter cette illustration en plus pour
que vous vous rendiez bien compte de l’aura que la
marque pouvait avoir à son apogée.
Et aussi parce qu’il paraît difficile à croire au premier abord qu’on puisse comparer une marque si
peu connue à des références comme Kiton ou Brioni.
