Oh, that happens when you are applying make-up that's too light for your skin. You have to check your skin tone and apply at least one step darker or lighter, just one step otherwise you'll get the patches on your photos. Another is, make sure you don't put too much of everything, not to mention use make-up made for your type of climate. There are those who buy make-up from other countries which don't really work in their area which causes them to react to the climate and give you quite a shine in the face or a chemical reaction with your skin and make-up. And also, don't put too much powder in the middle of a party. If you'd like to powder, just a small portion to keep the shine off would suffice. As always, lesser make-up works best. Better healthy skin works wonders. Good luck!

choose a foundation that's the right colour for your skin you don't want one that's too dark or too orange for you or it will look wrong. When you apply it try using a small makeup sponge so you get a nice even finish, and make sure you blend it at the edges so you don't get a hard line at your hair or chin. Try using something that gives a matte finish so you're not shiny as this will look worse in photo's.

hi! 1. fetch a good concealer and foundation that matches your skin tone. avoid using anything that is darker or lighter than your skin tone. 2. on a moisturised face first dab the concealer and cover the dark spots on the face. 3. then apply the foundation. first dab it on your face and neck then smudge it with your finger tips. you need to cover the face and neck evenly. 4. then apply a compact to to give the face a clear look. finally, don't overdo you make-up.
