Body freckles and Make-up (for girls going strapless)

Ok, I have a lot of little dark freckles on my arms and neck, etc. I'm wearing a strapless gown. What make-up would be good to use to cover the birth marks?

girl, where have you been all my life? I have the same problem, although my dress is not strapless it IS sleeveless and I the back is low (I have lots of moles and freckles on my back)....there is a makeup called Dermablend (I think this is what its called) that is a body makeup. I am worried about it rubbing off on my dress though, and I am wearing my hair partially down, so I may just do some fake tanning and call it a day.

When I met w/ my make up person she was telling me about this bride she had w/ a ton of freckles who wanted airbrushing over a tattoo on her back - she said she then had to go in and draw on freckles b/c she had this spot on her back w/o freckles and it was noticable. So if you want to airbrush all over it would cover everything up - but you might get makeup on your dress

The makeup artist at my trial told me once the airbrush dries it will NOT come off on the dress
hmmmm

Yeah I was also going to suggest airbrush tanning because it's not supposed to rub off.

Hopefully that is the case. I'm just thinking of my SIL's wedding - she had airbrushing and there was tan makeup on her dress.

Why do you want to hide all your freckles?

Re: Body freckles and Make-up (for girls going strapless)

I thought it might be prettier to hide my freckles and such. I also have red bumps on my arms. There's so much to think about

Rather than going crazy with make-up that day, another option is to ask your photographer to air brush the photos you choose for your album. I have a scar oh the left side of my chin and even with make-up it is still visible, but in the past the photographers air brush it and youcant even tell i have it.
