If you’ve fallen in love with all the freckled faces on social media but you’re not one of the lucky ones with a full face of them, we’ve got great news for you! Just try drawing them on.

You can use an eye pencil or an eyebrow pencil or marker. It’ll take some practice but you’ll get there. If you want to take the fastest route, reach for a root touch-up product and carefully spray some freckles directly onto your face. We have a video on it!

How to Get Faux Freckles:

For a fake-freckle look you’ll need:
  • You want to keep your makeup application minimalist, so just a few coats of the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High mascara and the NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip tinted lip gloss will do.
  • Give your face a nice glow with the LAMEL Insta BB Blush. Its creamy texture makes it look extremely natural. 
  • And now for the freckles. Let this trick work its magic. Take the L’Oréal Paris Magic Retouch spray for instant root touch-ups and apply it to your face from approximately 50 centimetres. With your eyes closed, of course. If you want your freckles in a more concentrated area, cover the parts of your face where you don’t want any. And be careful with your clothes.
