Oh, hi, freckles!
Good morning, my friend. exactly how are you doing? I hope you’re hanging in there…
So, you understand me quite well, as well as I believe that you understand that my whole makeup program in life is to do my skin — my foundation, concealer, powder, etc. — as well as have it look like I’m not using any type of makeup at all, otherwise understood as “no-makeup makeup.”

One technique I utilize is to utilize extremely bit product (and in some cases, no products) on strategic areas of my face, namely on the bridge of my nose as well as my upper cheeks.
I have some freckles there as well as a little beauty mark next to my mouth, as well as I feel that freckles as well as beauty marks tend to make us look more youthful, so I try not to cover all of mine. Also, skin isn’t naturally perfect. most people do have some freckles as well as pigmentation as well as textured areas somewhere, as well as when you enable a few of those “imperfect” (air quotes) areas to peek through, your protection looks more natural.
Try this
Apply your foundation as well as concealer strategically. utilize the least amount of product possible on your strategic areas. sometimes I leave mine totally foundation- as well as concealer-free (and, if that’s the case, sometimes I’ll just utilize primer as well as perhaps a bit powder on those areas).

Then, blend the crap out of those edges!
Now, if you’re going to do this, it really, truly assists to pay close interest to your blending; otherwise, it can look like you just failed to remember to put foundation or concealer on those areas. So it truly assists to utilize something like a wet beautyblender on the edges to seamlessly blend them into your skin.
When the magnifying mirror is your good friend (for once)
Even though I’m not a significant fan of magnifying mirrors since I believe they provide people (especially me) a complex by exaggerating every fine line, blemish as well as flake, when you’re trying to get that hyper-blended look, they’re helpful. With them you can truly see where your blending edges stop as well as start.
Be picky as well as choosy
Obviously, you don’t have to leave every freckle hanging out. makeup goddess Lisa Eldridge suggests utilizing a extremely thin, directed eyeliner clean packed with your concealer, as well as just dotting it on the freckles as well as marks you want to cover. That way, you can pick as well as select which areas you want to show, as well as which ones you want to conceal. I do this all the time (thank you, Lisa!) for the areas on my upper cheekbones.
