If you want them to last longer, apply a setting place after you’re done to keep everything in place.
Use A Waterproof Eyeliner
If you’re in a time crunch and have a waterproof eyeliner in a soft brown tone lying around, that can also be the tool to create faux freckles. As waterproof formulas are a tad harder to remove, keep in mind that precision is key to ensure there’s no smudging and smearing. If you’re gonna try this hack, create a faint dot first and then follow up by pressing a little harder for the freckle to become more visible.
Give Brow Pencil A Try
As brow pencils come in wide-ranging shades and forms, they are a great tool to create freckles that blend well with your skin and hair. We recommend opting for a brow pencil with precise pointed tips since they are naturally small and will help in creating a natural freckle look. Pro Tip: When practicing with a brow pencil, opt to try different-sized freckles to see which ones work best.
