    Default Make-up & Black light problem?

    Hi If anyone can help I'm very fair every foundation I've tried seems to glow this redish orange in the blacklight. Does anyone know of a foundation that doesn't glow in blacklight?

    I've never had a foundation glow in blacklight. I'm currently using Bare Minerals, but I've used MAC and Perscriptives Custom Blend before too.

    I've never had one glow either, but then again I'm far from pale. I would get samples from a few different lines and test them out at work. Try Make Up For Ever at Sephora. They are a professional line, so I doubt they would look different in any light.

    Ivylee, when I was dancing I used You Rebel by benefit. I'm very pale as well and the color, when coming out of the tube, may scare you but it blends really nicely. It now comes in two shades but I haven't tried the you rebel light. It's a tinted moisturizer (like REALLY tinted) so it blends easily. I set it with Mac Studio Fix powder. I never had issues with glowing.

    I think I used a panstick (sparingly) too while dancing....depending on what look I was going for.

    ^ That's a good recommendation, I was going to say to find a tinted moisturizer and set it with light powder.

    When I was very fair I would get the great big orange head under black light, so I had ot go with much lighter coverage, which, in clubs with lots of black light, looks great.

    I am extremely fair skinned as well and I have had a problem in the past with glowing foundation! Not effin' good!

    Where as all these ladies have already given you their recommendations, I have noticed they are all pretty high end companies...if you are anything like me and dont like to bring your "good" makeup to work, I would go with Cover Girl Tru Blend with Cover Girl pressed powder! No glowing I can assure you

    Thank you everyone for the advice. I was excited to see that covergirl had makeup that didn't glow. You're a life saver xoxo
