Question

"I'm one of those girls that have a lot of freckles and when I apply my foundation I can't seem to lighten them so they're not so noticeable. Can you please help me?"
— Kirt

Answer

Hi Kirt, I think freckles are cute and shouldn't be hidden. But for temporary coverage, try using a thicker foundation with higher pigmentation.

You may also want to start using a Vitamin C serum in your skin care regime to lighten and even-up your skin tone.

Make sure you also use a 30 plus sunscreen every morning to prevent further freckles from developing.
