How to Create Faux Freckles
The push for model inclusivity that has happened over recent years has certainly shined a light on freckled faces, so much so that those who aren’t born with them are creating the look with makeup. One brand making it easy is Freck Beauty, which launched the world's first freckle cosmetic, Freck OG. The longwear, universally flattering formula comes with a small, thin brush to create natural dots.
Even the freckle-blessed are participating in the trend. Full-coverage foundation can cover natural freckles, making makeup like this key to getting them back. “People are inspired by fun and interesting ways they can differentiate themselves rather than just blend in,” Remi, founder and CEO of Freck Beauty, explains. “They’re a great way to express yourself and get creative with your look! We’re seeing so many amazing styles that incorporate freckles (like the e-girl and cottagecore craze) that not only interest people who are into makeup, but also those who love a more natural look.”

Lightly press the cluster of dots with your fingertip and tap out across your cheeks or wherever you want your faux freckles to appear.
