17 Lightweight Makeup Looks to Let Your Freckles Shine ...

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.
