I have freckles all over my face, mostly nose and cheeks. I'm in my late teens and they are slowly fading but still there. Not sure what I think about them! Some people look lovely with them, most actually. I'm not a fan of mine. But many makeup artist recommend using a shear bb cream and enhancing them. I have breakouts, being a teenager so I use Urban Decay Naked foundation with a BB so it's fairly sheer. Tips?? Sorry about the picture by the way, only one I could find! You may not see them but trust me, they're there!! Xo.

I think the freckles look great :) but if you want to apply full coverage, start with a good quality high covg foundation.

If you have extra $ definitely go for Estee Lauder Double Wear (approx $45 or Kat von D ($35). Revlon Colorstay ($15) is a good alternative too.

Dab small dots of the foundation on the face, concentrating mostly on redness/blemishes/your case, freckles. Use either a stippling brush or a sponge to make small quick dabbing and light spreading motions to blend the foundation. Fingers don't work as well as brushes and sponges in this case, since the foundation is heavy duty you're going to want it very evenly blended and airbrushed looking. Use a small amount of translucent loose powder to finish the look. The foundations I've suggested all work very well on oily, combo or normal skinned people, hopefully that caters to you.

Hope this helped! :)
