Regarding your freckles, I wouldn't try to cover them up. I don't have capping skills, unfortunately, but every time I see this Crate & Barrel commercial, I think what a pretty woman the woman in the bed is and she's covered with freckles. Also, on my tv screen, she's obviously much bigger and you can really see them. I don't think it makes her less attractive *at all*. Her skin is great, though freckled most definitely; her smile is big and bright; her hair is really pretty. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/TV-Commer
And yes, I think you will have to learn to love your freckles. Or at least come to peace with them, since they're not going to change. Reality is what it is and while sometimes we can reality, a lot of the time the only thing we can change is our reaction to it.
