As makeup bases get a whole lot more natural, freckles are coming to the forefront and have become an alluring facial feature just like beauty spots. Further amplified by trends like status skin, freckles are the new identifier of beauty in 2022. And with celebs from Bollywood to Hollywood flaunting those spots, it’s safe to say that this trend is going to be huge this season. Whether you choose a more natural effect or want to make a unique statement, faux freckles are the best way to hop on this trend. We present to you a few ways that you can get that skin effect with basic makeup products.
4 Simple Ways To Rock Faux Freckles
If you love the whole freckled skin effect, consider these easy hacks to fake them.
Stroke Of Genius
A tinted eyebrow gel is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get faux freckles. Simply dab the applicator on the areas that you’d like the spots to show and let it dry down. Ideally, you should use this as the second last step in your makeup routine. This means you should spritz on a setting spray after creating the spots so that they don’t budge.
Out Of Line
A waterproof eyeliner pen will allow you to freestyle your freckles anywhere you desire. You can draw dots across your cheeks and nose and then let it dry down. Since eyeliner can be more prominent than a brow gel, apply a light coverage foundation or concealer to make the spots look more natural. Finish with a spritz of setting spray or swipe of translucent powder.
Sculpt Spot
You can always use your contour product to create this faux skin effect, you just don’t have to blend in the product. Use a spoolie brush to pick your cream contour product and apply it to your skin. Lightly dab with tissue paper to make the freckles look lighter and more natural. Set with a setting spray.
Traditionally Cool
For a more semi-permanent effect, choose henna. Henna will literally stay on for a good week or more and will give the most natural skin effect. Dot henna with a mehendi tube over the areas you want freckled and let it dry up for about 30 minutes. Rub off the dry bits and wash your face. You will now find gorgeous brown-tinted spots that won’t budge for a while.
Seems easy enough, doesn’t it? These are sure shot ways to acing the trend and looking absolutely while doing so.
