I am in my 40s, and have a fair complexion with freckles on my cheeks. My skin is neither oily nor dry. Whenever I apply foundation, I appear really white and unnatural, especially in photographs. I would like to know what type of foundation suits my skin best so that I will look more natural and hide the freckles as well. Or, should I apply make-up primer before applying my foundation to reduce the white-ness? – Seema

ACCORDING to Scott Miselnicky, Clinique vice-president product development make-up, one may appear looking too white in photographs due to two reasons: Wearing the wrong shade of foundation or the photography lighting may be a little too harsh on the skin.
