Best foundation for photos

So my family is getting some pictures done next weekend. I considered having my make up professionally done, but I think I am just going to save the money and do it myself. I feel confident doing my eyes and lips and stuff, I just wanted to see if any of you have good suggestions for a photogenic foundation. Typically I wear a tinted sunblock because, okay, I don't want to brag, but I have really good skin and I don't need anything else. So, my skin is pretty even toned and smooth and I'm not prone to dark circles or breakouts or anything like that. I just feel like I need something with a little more coverage for photos.

Also, for some God awful reason we are having the pictures done outside where it is likely to be between 105-115 degrees, so I need something with a little staying power. Thanks!

  • @Barbiiieee I love Urban Decay Naked BB Cream. For a BB cream it is amazing! I can't imagine why you need to wear a full-on foundation if you don't normally wear one. This BB cream is great-evens out skin really well and gives a nice glowy look.  That is my recommendation!!!!
  • Highly recommend Revlon Colorstay. Very matte and it comes in a gazillion different shades. Also comes in combination/oily or normal/dry. I wore it for my wedding last weekend; normally I just wear tinted moisturizer or bb cream and I was worried about wearing foundation as I didn't want it to feel heavy, the Colorstay felt super super light. It lasted alllll day, and it was about 25 degrees (Celsius) + humidity and it didn't budge. Where I live it retails for about $15

  • MAC studio fix powder is the best! Or Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation. definitely worth checking out!
  • Thanks for all the suggestions, ladies. I went with Smashbox someone else had suggested when I cross-posted this to CC. They had a little kit at Sephora that included primer, concealer, foundation and powder, so I scooped it up. I plan on taking some pictures this weekend to test it out and I will let you guys know how it goes.
