Hello, I am a natural auburn haired and freckle faced girl, with fair skin and light brown (almost auburn) eyes. I have been trying to find a foundation and concealer that will cover my horrible under eye discoloration. I am not porcelain, which most people think I would be, I am fair to med skin, with dark freckles.

My problem is that either I do not get enough coverage under the eyes, but my freckles look fine and the rest of my face and freckled covered body match each other OR my under eye circles are covered well, but the makeup covered freckles give a grey casting (almost dirty looking) shadow all over my face, not to mention that my body looks many shades lighter than my makeup saturated face. I know there must be a line or product that address the fair/medium skinned Irish looking gals like me, but I need your help to find it! Than you so much for your help and any of your recommendations 😊

Try a color corrector instead of concealer for your under eue.

Cover fx has a ton of color options. I am not a big concealer user so I am sorry I have no suggestions  there.

Hey Krit, Nicola Roberts from the girl group Girls Aloud created a cosmetic line called dainty doll. I don't know much about it but she has pale skin, frekles and red hair and was fed up of trying to find certain products to suit her. she is a lot paler than you by the sounds of it but there may well be a concealer that will suit your needs.

Thank you all, Lisa W. Pam M. And and Megan J. For the suggestions- I Plan to try all three! I'm not makeup proficient, so if I went with a color corrector, what color would I choose; peach or yellow? I know green cancels red, but that is about it :0)

I'd go for a peach concealer, topped with a light concealer. I personally love the NYX porcelain concealer over a wake me up concealer. As for foundation I'd recommend a light or buildable foundation. My current fav is Shiseido Perfect Sheer Foundation. It has wonderful staying power, a lovely smooth look, and the color I use (the lightest shade) is a perfect match. It doesn't hide my freckles, nor make me appear muddy.
