Use Two Products for the Most Realistic Freckles Once you've perfected your skin, it's time to draw on the freckles. Hughes recommends starting with a liquid eyebrow pen (which will deliver transparent color) in a cool brown tone. Her pick: Make Beauty Brow Pen, in Collected, $20. Holding the pen very loosely (it should feel wobbly in your hand), lightly dot on the color where you'd naturally find freckles, think across your cheeks and nose, as well as on your forehead and temples, says Hughes. Then, pat gently with fingertip to blend ever so slightly. Since natural freckles aren't all one color, add some more spots, this time using an eyeliner pencil in a taupe shade with warm undertones, like Surratt Beauty Expressioniste Brow Pencil, in blonde, $40. "The mix of different products and colors creates dimension and makes the freckles appear natural," Hughes explains. Like you did with the eyebrow pen, add a smattering of spots, keeping the placement random and not overly precise. Finish with blush and bronzer for a youthful flush and glow that pairs perfectly with your new freckles.
