Does have anyone have recommendations for a foundation that is full coverage enough to completely erase and wipe out freckles? I already tried Estée Lauder DW and my freckles were showing right through and I really only got medium coverage out of it :/ I’ve also tried nars radiant longwear and dermablend but nars broke me out and dermablend was just too finicky to work with. Does a foundation this full coverage even exist?
Ok, ginger here. The answer to this question is dependent on how dark or extensive your freckles are. If you are cool toned and your freckles have a red tone to them, you can do a green color correcting primer that will seriously reduce them and then you don’t need them over the top full coverage because there will be a lot less to cover to start with. If you are yellow leaning and your freckles are more orange I think it’s…lavender? Is the color corrector. I may have just made that up in my head. I can’t remember. Anyway, Jouer essential high coverage crème foundation will cover your entire existence and more.
Thanks so much for your suggestions!! So I’m fair/light with cool undertones and pretty dark freckles all over my cheeks, mostly near my cheek bones and close to my eyes. Those are the ones hardest to cover. I actually had the Jouer foundation in my Sephora cart last night but I’m debating on whether I wanna buy it or not cus I have dry skin and it doesn’t have the best reviews, especially from dry skinned people 😭 how do you like it?
KVD lock it… if they still make it and the formula hasn’t changed, is also super high coverage
I actually have 2 Kvd foundations (the good apple balm and serum foundation) but I’ve never tried the original lock it!!
So, I don’t wear foundation anymore, I switched to concealer only BUT I do have fairly dry skin and I wore it when it first came out when I wanted more coverage that didn’t go anywhere. I find most foundations are in how they are applied. There are very few that I feel like are truly unworkable. Anything super high coverage isn’t going to be the best for drier skin. I moisturize first but then I also use a super hydrating primer like the Bobbie brown face base, apply with a brush and I don’t use a drying setting spray. I’ll use like the caudalie beauty fluid (I for the life of me can’t remember what it’s called) spray or the too faced hangover spray. The urban decay quick fix I used to adore was discontinued but the reason I like this one is because the pigment is so high, you don’t nearly as thick of a layer to get the coverage you need. You can also spot conceal with it first with a brush on just those really tough to cover freckles. Another good one is drugstore but it’s the Milani conceal and perfect. I think the smell of that one kind of bugged me but the coverage is there.
EL Double Wear Maximum Cover is supposed to be fuller coverage than regular Double Wear. Unfortunately, the shade range is pretty limited.
Yes I actually looked into this one once before but then noticed how limited the shade range was and it didn’t look like they had an option for me. I’m going to save it though to swatch next time I’m in store! Thank you!!
Have you tried L’Oreal Infallible concealer? A drugstore try that’s pretty accessible and has been great for me. Shape tape is also crazy pigmented and might work, but definitely pricier. If you’re searching for recs, then maybe try googling for ones that people use to cover up tattoos.
