Hannah Martin (you might recognize the name as the woman behind Princess Eugenie's beautiful wedding makeup) said, "For those lucky enough to have freckles naturally, now is the time to embrace them more than ever." She suggests using a foundation with a sheer formula that will still even out the skin tone without full coverage; one of her favorites is Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer ($46).
However, if you like your coverage slightly heavier, she recommends layering concealer, like Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer ($30), over tinted moisturizer. Alternatively, she explained, "you can easily sheer out foundation over your cheeks by applying a little face oil in the area before you apply your foundation. The foundation will 'grab' everywhere but will be sheered out anywhere you've applied the oil."
