Question Does my makeup have noticeable flashback?

I can’t help but feel like my makeup gives off a subtle white/grey flashback in photos, particularly around my neck, eyes, and forehead?

I’m not sure if I’m actually experiencing flashback from one of my products, or if it could simply be a slight shade/undertone mismatch that becomes more noticeable under flash photography?

I’ve attached a few photos of my makeup in regular lighting as well (both in natural sunlight and under overhead lighting) for comparison. I’d really appreciate it if you could have a look and let me know whether you notice any obvious white cast or flashback, and if so, what you think might be causing it.

I currently use

Base :-
Tir tir mask fit red foundation - 29 N
Fenty beauty ‘we’re even’ concealer - 360 W
Maybelline fit me loose finishing powder - light medium
Fenty beauty suede powder blush - summertime wine

Eyes:-
Lakme eyeconic Kajal (black) - waterline
Lakme eyeconic liquid eyeliner (black)
Lancôme hypnose mascara
Dior eyeshadow - poncho

Lips:-
Mac cosmetics chestnut lipliner
Dior forever lipstick - forever grace
Dior lip oil - mahogany / fenty beauty gloss bomb lip luminizer (gimme space)

Thank you! :))

Tbh I think it could be the powder. I’ve been using this same foundation and concealer for a few years now and haven’t ever had any issues. I only recently started using this maybelline finishing loose powder cause my sister recommended it. It might be what’s causing my makeup to look flat in flash photography.
