4 Ways to Get in on the Fake Freckle TrendFaux freckles are pretty much the cutest trend ever. Here's how to use makeup to create them |
Wet Glitter Formulas Work Best You can create this effect with either powder or wet glitter, says Hughes, but she strongly suggests the latter: "Loose, powder glitters are harder to control and aren't as sticky, so you can easily end up applying too much, or with lots of fallout." For this look, she used Lemonhead Spacepaste in Dirty Penny, $22. Another good liquid option:
Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner, $20.
As far as the color goes, the choice is up to you, though warmer shades (like the one used here) will look more subdued and less dramatic than bright rainbow colors, such as pink or blue. Using your fingertip, scatter the glitter where freckles typically crop up, then flick off any excess with a clean spoolie. Since applying any kind of powder afterwards will tamp down the glittery shine (and you def don't want that), Hughes recommends finishing the look with cream blush or bronzer.
