MAKEUP: Foundation for flash photography?

I am planning to get the Revlon Colorstay Foundation, but it comes in two different formulas:
-Oily/Combination SPF 6
-Dry SPF 15

I need to buy a good liquid foundation for the formal (i think you guys call it prom in america...) but it needs to be long lasting and not look pale white in flash photography!

I read up that SPF in foundation can effect the colour of your face in flash photos, from something called Titanium Dioxide.

Both formulas of the Revlon Colorstay have Titanium Dioxide but the Dry formula has 4.4% and the Oily formula has 7.3%

Its confusing because the Dry formula has less Titanium Dioxide but more SPF?? and The combo/oily is vice versa...

I do plan to buy a pressed powder to go over the foundation to set it/make it matte (?) so im not sure if which one i buy makes a difference.

**I have dry skin by the waay..

Yeees, so anyone, please help me in picking which formula to purchase!
and if you have any recommendations of better liquid foundation that is flash photography friendly, please please let me know!
TIA :)
 
My revlon colorstay looks pale white in flash photography, I wouldnt reccomend it. Although its a gret foundation for everyday use!
I recommend using the MAC Face and body foundation or thier Studio Stick Foundation (Theres some chemical in it which stops the SPF from effecting photography).
You dont want to buy a powder which is too pale, because the flash will pale out the powder. So try either a powder one shade lighter, or make sure you use a bronzer.
 
If you want a foundation that is specifically formulated for pictures get the bee luscious cosmetics photo touch mineral foundation its amazing. I used it on my wedding day and OMG my pictures were incredible amazing. The photographer even asked me what make up I had on. Bee Luscious is the bomb there is NOTHING better than Bee Luscious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
