Sorry, but freckles are the cutest thing, why get rid of them? I suppose you could cover with heavy foundation, but that'll make your skin look disgusting. Try a nice concealer perfectly matched to your skin tone and translucent powder.

There is no permanent way of getting rid of your freckles other than several sessions of laser surgery, which can be time consuming and extremely expensive.
However, there are ways to lighten the freckles:
* Look for a skin bleaching cream that contains hydroquinone. Hydroquinone is the most popular and safe-effective way of lightening freckles, age spots, moles, etc.
* Head to the dermatologist to see if he/she can prescribe you with more stronger concetrated formulas in case your freckles are really dark
* Wear sunscreen. The sun's UVA and UVB rays will not only cause your freckles to become darker, but they will also make new ones appear.
As for ways to "cover" the freckles up, here are some methods:
* Wear a tinted moisturizer or sheer foundation. Avoid wearing really heavy and cakey foundation as these can make your skin look dull and ruddy.
* Apply concealer on only those areas of redness and where freckles are EXTREMELY dark. Do not try to cover up "every single freckle" so that they become invisible. Remember, to achieve the most natural and flawless complexion, you have to allow your real skin to shine through, rather than covering it up with an obvious mask of makeup.
* Set your makeup with some powder if you have extremely oily skin.
****By the way, I think freckles are beautiful and give a face that extra bit of character. If you feel absolutlely insecure about your freckles however, follow the tips outlined above, and make sure that when you wear the makeup, that you do your best not to cover the freckles up COMPLETELY. Not only will it look fake, but it will really take a toll on your skin

You could go to a plastic surgeon and get a "blue peel" [a chemical peel]. But, I and many others think freckles are attractive.

Stay out of the sun, it darkens them. Try using cover up over them. No they usually don't just disappear. Best of luck to you.
