Fashion trends are often surprising. Girls have been trying to hide their freckles for decades and today we live in the time when those that don’t have them are adding them on!
We seriously think that embracing differences is awesome and if you want to apply faux freckles to your face you should absolutely be able to. Here’s how to do it in several easy steps.
Step 1: Apply Makeup
Do your makeup as you usually would. Freckles will come last.
Step 2: Setting Spray
Help your makeup stay in place with a setting spray. This will prevent the faux freckles from running during the day.
Step 3: Eye Shadow
Scrape some dark brown (matte!) eyeshadow with a spoolie until you get fine powder. You don’t need too much of it.
Step 4: Apply Freckles
Using a brush, flick the shadow over your nose and cheeks it will fall down to your face in an irregular pattern which is exactly what you want — it will look more natural.
Step 5: Draw More Freckles
If you want some more freckles at specific spots, draw them with a brown pencil or lip liner. Everything will still probably look too dark, which is why you need the last step.
Step 6: Foundation
Tap the foundation over the freckles until they look natural and blend with your skin.
