Hi everyone!
I don't like my freckles because I just want one even skin tone. How do I cover them up and have a clear one colored skin tone on my face? Do you know any tutorials or any tricks I could do? By the way I use drugstore products. Thank you!

You can't really cover up freckles but you can try using heavy, full coverage foundations. Other than that you just have to embrace your freckles.

I definitely recommend talking to Alma about this, she has a photo on her profile that's her covering up her freckles with Estée Lauder Double Wear Maximum Coverage foundation and it's an amazing transformation.

Full coverage foundation is the way to go. I agree with Hannah. Ask Alma. She always gives amazing advice. Estée Lauder Double Wear is great, but I like Lancôme Teint Idole better :)

Oh honey those are so cute! But if you really want to hide them I agree it's going to take double wear or teint idole. For drugstore you may be able to cover them pretty well with Revlon colorstay:)

I honestly highly recommend investing in a good airbrush compressor.
I find that airbrush makeup is great cause it's very lightweight and effective at covering.
Brands have water based, silicone based and I think some have alcohol based ones.
I find water based ones adhere to the skin better than silicone.

If drugstore is your only route for foundation Revlon Colorstay is going to be your best bet. Its a full coverage matte formula. If you have oily skin it will definitely keep the oil slick at bay. The downside...you will feel it on the skin...its not a light formula/texture at all. If acne is an issue it something you might not want to reach for every single day because it will eventually irritate exisiting breackouts/ and or set you up for more. Color matching is also an issue so be sure to purchase where they have a generous return policy (just don't lose the receipt ) such as Walgreens, CVS and ULTA.

I have freckles also, except mine are darker then yours. And I couldn't find anything that would cover them completely with drugstore products. I think I've tried about 10-15 drugstore foundations.. And I went into Mecca which is like sephora (I think), in Australia. And I got a sample of the nars all day luminous! And it covered up my freckles soooo good and I got a perfect match to my skin. And I'm inlove with it. It is $70 where I live. But it's soo worth it as it will last me so long because I was noticing that I only use the tiniest amount and it goes a long way! Unlike the drugstore products I was using so much a bottle of foundation would only last me 2 weeks max because I was applying so much to try cover my freckles.. So I would really recommend saving up and purchasing a good high end foundation! It works wonders :)
