Hello @Sonia,

The white glow (flashback) is caused by specific SPF ingredients found in foundations, concealer, and tinted moisturizers, and by silica, which is the main ingredient in HD powders.

Is It Your Foundation? Chemical SPFs found in foundation and concealers won&rsquo;t cause flashback, but if they use the minerals Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, then the probability of getting a bright white face is much more likely.

Or Is It Your Powder? By far your worst flashback enemy is silica. Silica is used mainly in HD powders (some translucent powders have it too).  HD powders are different to setting powders, so it&rsquo;s less likely the latter will be a problem, but still check for silica to be on the safe-side before a night out.

Foundation Fix: One option is to avoid using foundations with SPF at nighttime. But if your FAV foundation has SPF, then apply a lightly colored loose powder on top of it to counteract and eliminate flashback. You can also check the ingredients on your foundation; if it has SPF but no Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide, you won&rsquo;t need to worry about ghost face.
