What kind of makeup hides freckles?

Question

I have about 15 on my face and it is annoying the crap out of me.

I have a ton on my face and it's annoying the crap out of me.

Answer 1

Awe...I love freckles. :-) Unfortunately, any makeup that will cover them, is going to look NASTY. I tried when I was your age too. (I've got them all over my nose and cheeks). Best bet would be to use a lightening cream (q-tip only on the area). It'll take time, but over time you'll see them lighten. Freckles are an overabundance of melanin in the skin just in those areas. Unless they're moles, and not freckles, they won't be hard to lighten. Don't do the nasty thick makeup stuff..it looks horrible. The mineral makeup out there works pretty well. Avon sells it cheaper than other places I've seen.

Answer 2

Getting a foundation to match your skin tone, and no darker, will at least lighten the appearance freckles and make them less harsh.

Or you could get yourself a tan and really embrace the healthy sun-kissed look- It won't hide them, but it will certainly make the difference between your skin tone and the freckle less pronounced and they'll blend in well and look great. But sunbathing may give you even more freckles before the rest of your skin can catch up. Maybe a good quality fake tan, like St Tropez could be the answer?

You could bleach them, as everyone suggests, but all that does is bleach the colour out temporarily, it doesn't fix the fact that your skin has these spots of higher pigment concentration. So they will come right back as soon as you get exposed to the sun again. My mom used to bleach hers when she was a teenager but quickly gave up when she had to wear SPF40 every single day and never sunbathe, never get a tan, to keep them from coming back... is that worth it? I don't think so!

Well my dear, some freckles are considered very becoming on a young lady. I am sure you will have no problem finding a boyfreind. So do not worry about them, if you could only find 15 it seems a very, very small number, are you sure they are freckles of the permanent kind or just what they call youth flushes which gradualy fade away? I hope this helps your querey.

Answer 4

Hi, I too have freckles (well i did) i had about 35 of them on my cheeks.
Anyway, you can get some very good whitening moisturisors that actually fade them to nothing-

I use loreal mens energy whitening moisturisor.

If you look on ebay you will find many different types, but its best to stick with a well known brand such as loreal, max factor or sca care, all of which will have them gone within 2 weeks of using them.

Answer 5

You can use regular "concealer" that people use for under their eyes but I bleach my freckles-- I use a good facial scrub first and then I use peroxide on a cotton ball and swab my whole face, not just the freckles-- this is great to keep your complexion clear because it purifies your pores.

Answer 6

The only makeup that seems to cover freckles is a good foundation.

Answer 9

Anytime you want to hide red or brown discolorations of the skin, such as freckles, you should use a green concealer first before putting on your foundation.
Yes, there is such a thing, you'll find it in most drug stores.
