I'm not lucky enough to have freckles, but I've always wished I had them. Seriously, when I was a kid, I actively wished for freckles all the time. They were all I wanted. I still think they're adorable. One of my favorite things to do is to count the freckles on Heather's cheeks. I know, awww! She generally covers up her freckles, though, and so do a lot of other freckled women I know. Stop! Embrace your freckles! You don't have to stop wearing makeup, either, you just have to experiment with a makeup look that will show off your freckles.

1. Heavy Brows and Light Foundation
Light foundation is a must if you want to let your freckles shine. Going with dramatic brows just creates a fab frame for your face – and your freckles.
Embracing your natural skin texture allows those lovely freckles to take center stage. With a minimal foundation, you create a barely-there look that implies effortlessness and authentic charm. Don't shy away from defining your brows; a bit of boldness there compliments the simplicity of the rest. It gives a polished contrast to the understated base, ensuring your features are accentuated without overwhelming your unique freckle patterns. Remember, it's all about balance and celebrating the skin you're in.
2. Go for Dewy Skin
This is absolutely magical. A little highlighter should do it, with just the right shade of blush or bronzer.
This makeup look is perfect for those with freckles, as it allows them to shine. The look shown in the Instagram post is a dewy look, which is achieved by using a highlighter to give skin a subtle glow. To complete the look, use a blush or bronzer to add warmth to the cheeks. To finish, use a light eyeshadow and a clear lip gloss for a natural, fresh-faced look. This makeup look is perfect for those who want to show off their freckles and keep their makeup light and natural.
3. Opt for Peach over Pink
Not that pink isn't lovely, of course, but experiment with peachy shades every once in a while. They should really play up your pretty freckles.
4. Make a Dramatic Statement with Your Eyeliner
You can play up other features and let your freckles serve as accents. Anytime you showcase your eyes, it will highlight your cheekbones, which will, in turn, show off your freckles.
5. Play around with Plum Hues
Why? 'cause they look pretty, that's why.
6. Swipe on a Coral Lippie
The orange tones in coral will beautifully complement your freckles. If you don't want something quite so bright, you can look for a more subdued shade.
7. Perfect Your Own Personal Natural Look
Brush on a little blush. Apply a little gloss. Add some mascara and light eyeliner. Perfection!
8. Wear Just a Bit of Mascara
Sometimes that's really all you need. Remember, if you play up your eyes, you'll play up your cheeks, and by extension your freckles.
9. Or Go with a Heavy Wing
Same as above. Also, look how gorgeous!
10. Try a Splash of Lip Color
The right shade of lipstick, even if it's light and glossy and barely there, will also play up your eyes – and your cheekbones – and your freckles.
11. How about Some Mauve Eye Makeup?
Don't knock it 'til you try it. Actually, I'm in love with this whole photo.
12. Let Your Eyes Spark

13. Soft, Subtle, and Simple
There are so many quick, lovely looks that let your freckles show. You can always opt for dewy, glowing skin and subtle eye makeup.
14. Start with Just a Splash of Color
You can let your lips speak for you. Make your lippie the only color you wear.
