Great foundations for freckly skin?

9

Sort By

So I have fair freckly skin and I have been trying to find a light to medium coverage foundation that not only matches my skin, but gives it that flawless glow. Preferably, a foundation that is under 30$ or even a drugstore foundation! I have tried many and found some luck with Rimmel just wondering if there are any out there that may work better!

You're not trying to cover your freckles, are you?

Try revlon colorstay. :) You can use it thinly for a more sheer coverage, or build it up to medium to full coverage, if that's what you're going for. Freckles are so adorable!

I would totally sugest tinted moisturizer! It's perfect if you want to let your natural complexion show through! As far as those go e.l.f. has one that a lot of people like.(but not me) :( Revlon colorstay, bareMinerals (great for oily skin!) Rimmel foundations in general. Also if your looking for a lighter finish try using a foundation brush, that way you can control the amount your putting on :)
Also a really good finishing product is Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight Illuminating powder. It gives a nice glow and doesn't overpower freckles/beauty marks :)

I have been covering my freckles because i didn't know how to conceal my redness only until recently, I would love for them to show! I just want to find the right products for my dry skin! 

Thank you all so much for your advice! I actually have Revlon colorstay and it felt flaky on my skin, I know they make a dry skin formula I may check into buying that.

try Lush colour supplements. I use Jackie Oates on my pale freckly skin, it covers everything apart from the freckles, which is great for me :D

I have been using Neutrogena Healthy skin enhancer. I use the darker one for olive skin and it works awesome because it doesn't look like I have anything on and my freckles don't look like they're being hidden but still evens out my skin tone. I had fought with that for years so I know what you're going through. I initially tried to cover them but that just doesn't work well.

@ Tiffani is that a foundation? I am going to browse the products to see what exactly it is! I am so happy that I am not the only one who has this problem! Thank you! I am going to pick that up today!

@ zoe C. Is that a UK brand? I have never seen or heard of it here in cali. =[

@LeeAnn, it's based in the UK, but there are Lush sotres in the US, you can also order online :)

@LeeAnn its called a tinted moisturizer... I really do love it. Let me know if you do try it and what your experience with it is... it runs about $10 a bottle.

zoe and tiffani thank you so much!

LeeAnn do you have a favorite moisturizer? If you do, you could mix your liquid foundation that you have now (if you do use one now, or when you find one) -- then you'll have your very own tinted moisturizer. And what is great about that is the tinted moisturizer is made out of your favorite products.

If I'm in a rush or I don't really need too much coverage, I mix my CeraVe moisturizer (LOOOOOVE it) with my Revlon ColorStay foundation. The outcome is a soft-not-so-over-done skin. 

That is an amazing idea!! Right now I have been using the Rimmel 25 hour foundation and use Cetaphil as my moisturizer! I am going to give this a try!!
