Try Freckle Makeup
I mean, is there anything the beauty industry hasn't come up with? Freck, $22, touts itself as the original freckle cosmetic; the buildable, liquid pigment washes off with the rest of your makeup, and comes with a fine-tipped brush applicator. "Using this one product is the easiest way to create fake freckles," says Hughes. "It looks superreal, but since the color is a bit darker, it would look even more natural on someone who wants to enhance or play up existing, natural freckles."

Dot and Repeat
The M.O. for this product couldn't be easier: Simply dot it directly onto skin. For the most realistic effect, Hughes suggests applying in clusters of three to five dots across your nose and cheeks. If the color is too opaque for your liking, blot with your fingertip, and keep in mind that as it dries the freckles start to look more realistic, notes Hughes. While the formula is long-wearing, a loose dusting of translucent powder can help set your new spots in place.
