REDHEAD CONCEALER IS HERE! 
Wearing face makeup can often lead to redhead freckles being covered or dulled. While you can choose to skip makeup altogether, it’s not necessary. Your freckles are unique and beautiful; you should feel confident embracing them with or without makeup. Here are some tips for creating freckle-friendly makeup that allows your freckles to shine:
1. Try using only concealer
Concealer is typically used to conceal, but it can also be applied strategically to provide coverage where you want it without hiding your freckles. Start by applying undereye concealer and blending it outward, extending the blend across your face. This technique will allow the product to be more concentrated under the eyes, which covers the discoloration while providing lighter coverage on the rest of the face. This results in a natural, lightweight look. You can also use concealer to spot and treat blemishes while leaving the rest of your face bare.

2. Opt for sheer or light coverage products
The key to maintaining the vibrancy of your freckles is to choose sheer or light-coverage products. Full-coverage formulas will likely conceal them entirely. Tinted moisturizers, skin tints, and sheer foundations are ideal options. Buildable products can also work well if applied in a single layer. For fuller-coverage products, consider thinning them with a bit of moisturizer for a more natural finish.
3. Apply to the edges
Freckle placement can vary, but it’s common for redheads to have more freckles around the nose, cheeks, and eyes. To highlight your freckles, try applying your products along the outer edges of the face and blending inward. This technique helps keep less product in the center of the face, and it can be used with foundation, bronzer, and blush.
4. Use a makeup sponge
Different application tools offer varying levels of coverage. Makeup brushes tend to hold more product, resulting in a heavier application. Try using a makeup sponge, such as a Beauty Blender for a lighter, more seamless finish. The sponge will absorb some product during blending, making achieving a smooth, natural look more effortless.
5. Know when to use powder products
Powder products are effective for setting face makeup and ensuring long-lasting wear, but they often contain additional pigments and coverage. If you’re using liquid or cream products, it’s best to skip the powder for a more sheer finish. Alternatively, you can forgo liquid and cream products altogether, opting for a lighter, powder-based look.
6. Set and blend again
Setting spray helps secure your makeup while lightening the overall effect, mainly when using liquid or cream products. After applying your foundation, mist your face with setting spray and blend. The spray’s liquid seamlessly blends with the foundation, softening the coverage for a more natural finish.
Rock it like a Redhead!
