I did the Google search for covering freckle and found th forums. I have one large freckle on the side if my face between my rihgt eye down to my jawline. I asked the doctor if it was a birthmark when I was little but he said freckle or birthmark it is what it is Anyway I wear a lot of hats with long hanging brims or a lot of scarfs up to just unde my eye but this isn't practical? Any tips for concealing one giant freckle instaed of lots of little ones please and sorry on my bad spelling. Thank you

... One large freckle from your right eye down to your jawline???
Ok, that sounds like a birthmark, with the pigmentation of a freckle...
In simple terms:
At any rate, based on no information... You need to use a corrector with a medium sized concealer brush, make sure you blend out the edges very well! powder lightly, then apply your foundation and powder as per usual.
How to:
Your corrector needs to bring the overtone of your birthmark / freckle down to the shade of your natural skin tone. Then use your foundation as usual to balance out the undertone of your complexion.
Concealers don't work because they are blue blockers, and freckles are not blue, they are brown / orange. That's why concealers are made for under the eyes and not for freckles or acne... Ok I digress...
The reason freckles are so difficult to cover is that they are in the brown colour family. Which means you need a corrector that has a blue to purple undertone to it...
A brown blocker. Again based on skin tones, browns and oranges can be either warm, cool or neutral. So you need to figure that part out if your freckle is a warm brown or a cool brown.
(Ok when I say the corrector has a blue or purple undertone to it, I mean it should not look blue or purple, but it should look like a foundation shade.)
Ben Nye and Kryolan's Dermacolor line both have a great range of correctors for all skin types, tones and shades. A consultation or a corrector colour chart will definitely help you out in choosing the right shade.
