Freckles: How To Care For Your Best Accessory

Most of us redheads are blessed with amazing natural freckles. Here are our top three tips for how to care for your best accessory –– aka your sun kisses:

1. USE LIGHT TO MEDIUM COVERAGE 

The lighter the coverage of your makeup, the more your freckles will have a chance to show through. Light or medium coverage foundation like CoverGirl’s Clean Fresh in Fair/Light, It Cosmetics CC cream, or even a tinted moisturizer like Laura Mercier’s work great for keeping freckles visible.

2. AVOID HEAVY-HANDED APPLICATION 

Just like applying a full coverage foundation will cover your freckles, heavy application of lighter coverage products like concealers will hide your freckles as well. If you are needing a more full spot concealing or building on your coverage, try using a damp beauty blender only in those areas.

3. PROTECT THEM FROM THE SUN 

It’s essential to protect your freckles from the sun. Apply a facial and body care sunscreen every day –– and reapply every two hours.

Let your freckles glow. Rock it like a Redhead!
