I've been left with really patchy skin on both cheeks and in addition have freckles - can anyone recommend a facial fake tan or foundation that might even me out a bit?

TIA xxx

Without knowing your skin type or colour it's literally in impossible, however you should make sure you are putting suncream on every day.
I put suncream on then mix moisturiser (Avene hydrance optimale) with Mac foundation (studio fix). I find foundation on its own too much for every day.

Fake tan doesn’t hide mine and I can’t afford laser treatment. I use Estée Lauder Doublewear in a slightly darker tone than my skin tone plus loose powder. That totally evens out my skin and keeps it fixed for twelve hours at least.

I've got olive skin with freckles and some acne scars, then the pigmentation on my cheeks which just makes it looks like my freckles have joined up.

I hadn't thought of trying wearing a darker shade @Mistlewoeandwhine thanks for that tip.

I currently wear a daily moisturiser with spf in it, then try a combo of cover-up and powder but it's not really cutting it!

Thanks ladies 😊🤞

I don't have your issues but I do have rosacea which means my complexion is very red at times. I use Estee Lauder doublewear maximum cover camouflage foundation and it works brilliantly to even out my skin tone. Its not cheap but a little goes a long way and a tube lasts me around 3 months.

I’ve got really bad melasma across my cheeks nose head and upper lip it really pisses me off it’s in an exact symmetrical shape too!
I haven’t found anything to get rid and covering in caked foundation makes it worse Sad
