so the sun is out and so all my freckles..I had only a few freckles as a child but after having my daughter 3 years ago I am very freckly now…in the winter I'm not too bad but in the summer I hear from my friends " oh i didn't realise you are that freckly'..my son belives I should see my GP and he would help me…

but my dilemma is
MAKE up…do i use a foundation to match the freckles or the skin tone under??
I use Chanel light foundation, Vitalumiere Aqua which is lovely and light but I think the colour isnt great ( is fab in the winter as I ahvent got that many freckles)…
One of my friend suggested Bobby Brown's BB cream

what are you ladies wearing on your skin?
TIA

I use maybellene bb cream. I like my freckles and would not want to hinds them. Bb cream just makes my skint tone more even and brighter. I don't like the matte look either so it's ideal for me. It's lovely and light on your skin for summer and it is 30 spf.

I'd be curious to see what responses to get.

Firstly though I don't think you should match your freckles to you foundation. As my face head so many different colours I match to my neck, not even jaw line but actual neck.

I don't mind my freckles but I do need to even or my skin tone and that's harder to achieve with freckles!

Def match the skin not the freckles!

Something sheer as the PP said.

Match to the skin under the freckles!

Facial freckles look very youthful I think.

Me too! As soon as sun appears I am instantly freckled. They are pretty- some people even draw them on with pencil! I am in Bourjois CC cream on this sunny day, nice and sheer

I use a Clinique CC cream which is a similar tone to my non freckled bits.
