I have lots of freckles that are very noticeable. But my skin is also very pale. I have no idea what foundation to use because when I put foundation on, my freckles show right through and you can clearly see that I have it on, even from a bit away. Right now I'm using MAC studio fix in NW20, but you can see my freckles through it! I don't want to cover them, so I need help! What should I use or what can I do? Thanks! :) xx
I agree with Jessica M,i have loads of freckles but i only wear tinted mousturizer so my skin can breathe+it gives you a flawfless complexion if applied the right way :)
I agree but if you are really worried about them, try a pale concealer across the freckled area and use a primer base. clears all my complexion issues right up :)
Thanks everyone! I will definitely try a tinted moisturizer first, and if I don't like it, I'll flaunt it! :p But, Skye D., what's a bb cream? I feel like I would know, but I can't think of it!
I have freckles too, and sometimes i feel like hiding them but i learned that i should embrace them because they are known to be cute! if anything, i just minimize them by using a light to medium coverage foundation.
Freckles are beautiful sweetie! I wish I had more! I'm trying out a new foundation though and loving it so far! It's very full coverage. It's the new revlon colorstay whipped. I'm posting a full review of it tomorrow on my channel! http://m.youtube.com/user/BeautyIns... please subacribe:) I appreciate the support. Good luck with your search but remember, freckles are part of you and I think they're absolutely beautiful! Rock your natural skin girl!

I have freckles, during the summer time i just flaunt it. I would suggest using a tinted moisturizer and some good old bronzing :)

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I think freckles are totally cute so just wear a bb cream or something it will look so pretty I promise!
