Oh.
KIDS! I get it now. Actually, the 1 direction reference was useful.
BeyoncĂ© needs some dynamic range, though thatâs a subject for another time

Srsly, freckles are supercute. Foundation covers them up. Back in high school a lot of girls felt that freckles made them look less feminine so they ended up looking like party clowns with the amount of foundation they wore to try and look âelegantly feminineâ rather than âtomboyishâ.
In anycase do whatever makes you happy. If you like using makeup to have perfect looking skin, good on ya. If makeup isnât your thing, thatâs cool too. Itâs just gunk that changes what your face looks like, thereâs no point in judging anyone over how they do or donât use it.

Probably because they were made fun of for their freckles. Canât win for trying, especially when they get called âparty clownsâ for avoiding one group of mockers.

When I was a kid, I didnât like freckles or red hair. Didnât prefer blondes, either. By my twenties, I still had a soft spot for brunettes, but had lost my aversion to red hair and freckles. And now I have no real preference for any particular coloration at all. My lovely wife is red haired and freckled and the prettiest thing I ever did see.
Sheâll very occasionally put on lipstick for evenings out, but otherwise eschews makeup. (Eyeliner? Mascara? Blush? Eyebrow pencil? I donât believe any of these even exist in our house, though thereâs an old compact of foundation or two gathering dust 'neath the sink. And several dozen hues of nail polish.) And sheâs always quite yummy.

I wouldnât know. I never saw anyone get made fun of for having freckles, but I was never in the position to know what girls got made fun of for.
Obviously thereâs often no-win situations where people get bad outcomes no matter what they do or donât do. It really sucks. Iâm not into making fun of people for their appearance, mainly because Iâve never been proud of the way I look, so why even bother piling on on someone else? The âparty clownâ thing is hyperbole, and generally insensitive, but I didnât mean it to be hurtful. So I guess thereâs the blind spot again.

Rarely.
Mostly itâs, oh my god, look at me.
Me me me!
Not that that is a generalizationâŠ
Livinâ life does that to ya 
I donât normally wear makeup (and yes, Iâm a dude, and yes sometimes I have⊠Err⊠Manly blemishes), but I have learned to trim my eyebrows, my Van Dyke, keep my Mane Well Coiffed, and generally Clean Up Well.
I honestly hate this entire discussion. There is no good response, let alone right response. Other than, âI love youâ. And even then it could be manipulation.
Thatâs why I invented Japhroaigs Daily Tweed Service. Itâs like AirBnB, but for tweed! Now we can all look like Maggie Smith, Omar Shariff, Michael Gambon, and Kelly MacDonald.

A lot of guys are oblivious, full stop. But I have awakened next to more than a few women who âdidnât have their face on,â even a couple who were genuinely under the weather or going through some unfortunate rash or breakout. They still looked most attractive to me in that moment before they went through the puttinâ on their face ritual. You live long enough, you pay attention enough, you begin to see past more illusions and to care less about the ones that matter not at all.

Yeah in my younger days one of the things that steered me away from foundation and powder was the fact that I liked my freckles.
When I did cover up acne I would try to use a minimum amount of powder to get my concealer to blend in so my freckles were still visible.
I donât think much about it anymore. I usually do full goth face when I go out dancing or to concerts, and a little more toned down gothy makeup if I wear makeup to an event or party.
Most days I skip all makeup but I will sometimes do something fun with my eyes if I have time to kill, and Iâll wear lipstick a bit more when Iâve just bought a new one.

I have to say, Eppendorf did a great parody years before they existed.
