Foundation for photography

[roselily]

I thought we had a thread about this, but I guess I'm searching under the wrong parameters.

Anyway, I usually wear mineral makeup, but I don't like the way it photographs. Can anyone recommend a foundation that will look good in photos AND last all day for a wedding? (AND stays matte and doesn't settle into my wrinkles would be nice, too.)

Photography makeup looks overdone to the naked eye, so don't judge too much on what the mirror is showing you.

For weddings, look into airbrush makeup: http://www.airbrushmakeup.com/ Countless brides go with this alternative to avoid worrying throughout the day.
If that's not your bag, you can always hire a makeup artist who is skilled in photographic and wedding makeup application. The prices may be steep, but in cosmetics you get what you pay for!

No, I'm not using a "makeup artist". I have more training than most of them have! Just looking for some street makeup recommendations.

Pardon me - my mistake!

Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse is super easy to apply, and covers quite nicely without streaks. I find it lasts longer if used liberally. It's also dirt cheap, at about $8.50 CDN (around $7.95 US).
