I don't think you can use it as foundation if you are used to heavy foundation. I don't think it would cover freckles.

I use this as a foundation every day. It has a great matte finish. It's light coverage, so it depends on how dark your freckles are. You can put it on alone or with a mineral powder for more coverage.I seriously LOVE this product

I don't think it will cover freckles but it does make a great, super light summer foundation

This is definitely not a foundation and will not cover freckles. I wouldn't even say it has coverage so much as just a slight tint and a bit of a visual smoothing effect.

it's light coverage - but i like it. not sure it'll cover freckles. it has a nice matte finish which is nice for the summer

This is a fairly light product. It won't cover freckles. It is awesome feeling on the skin though. Makes my skin feel so so soft.

I don't think it provides enough coverage to use as a foundation. I have freckles and it doesn't cover them. Very sheer coverage. I use it more as a primer, it has the same texture of a bare minerals primer I have used in the past but this is better because of the sun protection! I use a powder over it and that provides a natural coverage. Hope this helps!

This tint has a very light mineral powder finish, that lets your natural skins beauty shine through.. I don't believe it will cover your freckles.

I would not use this as a foundation. The tint is very very light and sheer and is just enough to give a little bit of a "blur" effect. It does work well to mix with a foundation that's more dewey to convert it to more of a matte bb cream. Mixes great with Clinique foundations.

I'm the same way. It definitely blurs them and makes them less "oh snap, you've got adorable freckles!" than I enjoyed, but it didn't cover them entirely. I don't mean to plug another product here, but after years and years I just ended up using the Bare Escentuals (sp?) mineral veil with SPF 30 mixed with the original foundation. The mixing is important: it takes away the thickness of the foundation but is still weirdly sheer, so it evens my complexion without covering up my freckles. Took a couple of tries to get the ratios right, but hand to God, it's perfect.

I've used it with my tarte 12hr full coverage which is thicker than the regular foundation and it applies it very well. Very smooth finish.

While it can be used for mineral foundation and would be great it can be used other makeup. I use it with bronzers to contour and I have also used it with liquid foundation. I like it most for contouring. Hope that helps!

I use it over the foundation. It's not great for coverage, more of a nice setting powder.

It's light coverage. Having dealt with rosacea, I was afraid this wouldn't be enough cover for me. And if I look close in the mirror later in the day, I can see where the makeup's worn thinner in places. But surprisingly, it looks pretty darn good when I'm not staring into my 7x magnifying mirror =D I've been experimenting with lots of different foundations over the last couple years, and I never expected something like this to become my go-to, but it is. Go figure, I just spent over $40 on an Estee Lauder, and it doesn't look as good as this. But yes, it is light. And I don't consider it "buildable." Maybe because I use moisturizer underneath, but if I try to layer more foundation on, it goes streaky.

Hi, I would say no, it give you a golden brown glow that is very pretty but my freckles are still apparent. I'd try the Sally Hansen leg spray for coverage... just my humble opinion :)

Hi, Depending on how much product you use you can get full coverage. With my cream foundation, I was able to build the coverage. I'm still learning to use the brush but I do like it - very soft bristles. I was using a damp sponge to apply my make-up and I don't see any less coverage with this brush :)

I think so! Get the foundation in a color close to your skin tone. Then finish with the 'mineral veil' that softens everything. They make a pre-foundation product skin revver upper, or something. It's supposed to be step #1- but I skip it, as serums & moisturizers give me zits.

It can be quicker but I wouldn't rely on just this for coverage at the beach or while doing sports. I'm very fair and wear it more like a regular makeup for when I'm outside at different events and want to look nice and have some SPF. It feels nice and light like a mineral makeup and covers just as well.

I wear it under my make-up as a moisturizer for the eye area. I then use foundation and concealer over it. It's lovely stuff.

I don't know... :-( However, I do have a fairly thick grove of freckles right below one eye that is fairly dark... dark enough I usually can't find anything to cover it; and this wonderful eraser covers it. One application too, not having to cake it or layer it to cover this dime sized spot is awesome!

A little goes a long way with this foundation. I mix a little with my usual foundation, and I also use it as a concealer. In my experience, a brush works best when using it as a concealer. I only apply it with my fingers when it is mixed with my usual foundation. I found that it is hard to apply all over the face without thinning it down with another foundation. I hope this helps.

I have a LOT of freckles and it does cover pretty well. The longer you leave it on (I try to leave it on for at least 3 hours) and then rinse off in shower~no soap. It takes about 24 hours until the color really shows.

I apply sunscreen under this,so yes. If you place sunscreen over this it would defeat the purpose of the tint of foundation.

I'm very pale myself and I hate this foundation. It's very pink toned. I've tried the lightest shade and the next one up and the colors are so bad. I would recommend revlon colorstay liquid in ivory or buff because the colors are very flattering and you're sure to find a match. The coverage is great too. Apply it with a beauty blender for the best finish.

Yes, as far as I am concerned. I do not wear much make up other than foundation and blush,no problem.Happy to helpCarol
