Do you Have Freckles?
Dec 21^st, 2004 at 12:15am

This question is really for everyone.

Do you have freckles? If so, do you like them? Do you cover them with makeup or let them show?

Have you always liked them? ???

I have to say I've always liked my freckles, except maybe in High School. I let them show even when wearing make-up which is not often. I moisten a cotton ball or tissue and rub the base off over my nose, in my freckle-zone.

If you don't have freckles, do you love your creamy skin? Because that is gorgeous, too.

Mine would be more noticable in the summer when freckling would be enhanced with the summer sun! I seldom wore makeup (still don't), so covering the freckles was not even considered.

I've always had freckles, the kind that get darker with sun exposure, unlike my mother and sister's, which don't tan up. Because of this I've avoided the sun all my life, which has been a blessing (in retrospect), as it kept my facial skin young.

I disliked them, but I've never tried to cover them with makeup. They've faded a little over the years.

Creamy skin...wouldn't that be cool?

Babyfine,
If it is not a freckle, it is a natural beauty mark; I don't care if it is really a wart.

I think this is so cool. Freckles are angel kisses!
My freckles get more pronounced with sun exposure but I don't get a lot of it. I'm just glad they are still here.

Does anyone have dimples? I have one on the right side of my smile. I'm asymetrical.

Widow's peaks? Cowlicks? Strong natural parts?

Does anyone else have a cat/dog/rabbit/other, in their lap blocking the keyboard? Sorry, that is off topic.

I don't have freckles on my face, but I have quite a few on my knees and arms. Awhile ago I was told that I had a peaches and cream complexion (I'd always considered myself more of the pasty white type myself).

As for the cowlicks, I have one towards the front of my hair, which was the main reason I decided to grow out my bangs, which always seemed to go to the side. Now it's not really noticeable. Oh, and I did have a Boston Terrier curled up on my lap, but she got down when she heard someone in the kitchen. Wink

Cookiemonster,
Your complexion sounds really pretty; peaches and cream is quite a compliment!

I have a large cowlick in the front that doesn't lend itself to bangs either, but with bangs grown out I find that the cowlick sometimes adds some height or volume to the front.

How big is your terrier? I'll bet he/she is hard to type around! LOL My same cat just jumped down out of my lap for who knows why.

I have really white skin. Almost translucent. LOL

It goes well with the red hair, but when Hubby and I were in Cancun, Mexico this last October, we stuck out like sore thumbs (he's very white as well, but with LOADS of freckles everywhere that there has been sun exposure - except his face. Kind of ruddy. I love it.) because everyone there was so dark tanned.

I have a splash of freckles along my nose and a few on my cheeks. They got quite dark when we were in Mexico, but have since lightened up. I can't keep a tan to save my life. I burn more than anything.

I don't have a widows peak...but always wanted one. A bunch of cowlicks at the back of my head with I hated when my hair was short. And my hair tends to part to the left. I have dimples, but they are on my arse, which I HATE. LOL!!! (Too much information!)

Oh, and I have a Doberman Pinscher, but she's living 6000 miles away with my Mum at the moment. I miss her so much. She would've crushed my lap if I'd let her sit on it. She weighs 120lbs!!

*giggles* RUA!!! Me too.. *LAUGHS!!*

I have a peaches and cream complexion.. very pale skin contrasted with lots of pink undertones. Add to the fact that I embarrass and blush EASILY.. *laughs* I love it, I don't look like my tanned companions, but I kinda like the fact that I'm a bit different. Although, it tends to make me look a little old fashioned..

But it's heck when it comes to me, my skin, and the sun.. I seem to have two shades.. white lady or red lady.. (and I mean RED! Boiled lobster look... yuck) I have to seriously slather on the SPF 45 whenever I go out because I burn that easily. The problem is I love the outdoors so... well, lots of hats and a few million bottles of suncreen later....

White she is!

I have a small spattering of freckles across the tip of my nose, barely noticible unless you're right up on my face, which means only my romantic au pair has ever seen them... Embarrassed

*smiles*

I have a widow's peak, and let me tell you, it's not all that exciting. I wish my temples weren't quite so deep, between the two my forehead looks somewhere between very high and male pattern baldness.

No cowlick, but the hair at the back of my crown does a little circular whorl thing that lays perfectly flat on my scalp, just like the rest of my hair. Perfectly flat. Always. Forever.

i don't have any freckles myself but i also belief in sun protection as the one and only remedy to stay young ... cuze in my opinion white skin = young skin!
i put make up with spf 15 and usually my daycream has some protection as well. as soon as there's real sun i put spf 60. not only to stay white but also to avoid thickening of my skin which would only worsen my (very mild) acne.

*laughs* Ladies and gents will ask me all the time, "is that your natural color?" Yes, dearies, it is! I guess red hair is just not very commonplace these days.. well, that and the fact that if you're not happy with your natural haircolor, you have the easy (and from what I hear, relatively inexpensive) option of changing it.

Is your hair dark auburn, Spaceybabe, or more of a strawberry blonde? I'm a dark auburn, myself.
