Flashback is a phenomenon that can occur when you're taking pictures with a flash. It happens when light reflects off of certain particles in makeup and causes a white cast to appear in photos. These powders are made to help you avoid this problem. They are formulated to help minimize the amount of light that will reflect off your skin. Here are some powder options without flashbacks available.
