Back in highschool my everyday makeup routine consists of bareminerals and black eyeliner with Mac Refined bronzer as a blush. That was what I wore everyday because I really didn't know anything about makeup, I just knew I liked wearing it. I didn't really take a lot of pictures back then but one day I did and I saw how ghostly my face looked. I took a picture with flash and you can definitely see the difference between my face and my neck. I also took another picture that day with no flash. I look normal, you don't see a line or anything. Since Bare Minerals has a great amount of SPF in it, it definitely gives your face a ghostly affect with flash. That is with any SPF products. The thing is I wore Mineral veil over the Bare Minerals foundation which definitely altered the look also in flash pictures. It makes you paler than you really are because it has corn starch in it. Ever since I saw this picture I stopped wearing Bare minerals Foundation. It's not a bad product it's just I like products that are camera friendly. The Mineral Veil on the other hand I would never use. There are other setting powders out there that do a better job.

Too Faced: Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing Powder
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
This bronzer is the best I tried so far. It has abosolutely no shimmer so it is great for contouring. The color is not too dark but not too light so I would suggest this for light to medium tan skintone. It's buildable for a darker color. The best part about this bronzer is that it doesn't make you look orange! It is so hard to find a bronzer that doesn't have an orange undertone. I have tried Mac Blunt blush for contouring but I did see an orange tint so I swapped it on MUA. I do suggest to tap your brush into the product, dont swip back and forth. Loose powder starts to build up easily which can be kind of annoying but I think it's because it contains real cocoa powder. The scent is great, it gives me chocolate cravings everytime I put this on. I asked my friend to smell it and she said it smells like tic tacs?? Lol. The price for this was a little expensive but I say its well worth it for a good non-orangey bronzer.
