Also, if you're affecting something, like water or fire, that is visible in and of itself, then you wouldn't need to flare anything, unless you want to see the 'tendrils' of energy going from your hands to the material/object.

If you want a visible construct, then it may just be best to do like Nitsualol24 said and basically cover it in a skin of light. Heck, if you're half-way decent with Photokinesis then you could even pick a color for it to be.
