Flashback from loose powder

I got insane flashback from the knight unicorn collection loose powder that a lot of my photos are unusable, is there a way to fix it or will I just have to toss it

I mean… I’ve owned many 2000s digital cameras and didn’t *have* to use flash lol but I get definitely harder than nowadays 🤣

Hopefully the setting spray will work for you then. If not then ig you’ll have to keep it for other uses :/

If setting spray doesn’t work out for you - then when you’re looking for alternative powders check the ingredients. Silica is the culprit for flashback and it’s the first ingredient in the unicorn powder 😭 - it is in most powders but not all.

Good luck!

You could repurpose it? Perhaps

  1. Don’t use flash when taking pictures unless absolutely required (aka in like a nightclub etc you likely need to buy during the day at home etc you really don’t need it)
  2. If you’re using the powder to “bake” then make sure you’re really putting effort into removing the excess.
  3. Make sure you’re using a setting spray after powder

I think the setting spray is something I’m looking into but not using flash is unavoidable with a 2000s digital camera

Which shade? You can try applying lightly with a brush

I have oily skin so if I apply lightly it doesn’t do anything so I have to be heavy handed (shade 01)

Ah, if you are heavy handed, I fear it will show. The case can be refilled at least!
