This new trend manages to give the face a natural, fresh and young look.
Fake freckles on the face or “fake freckles” have become a makeup trend that is becoming more and more popular among celebrities and influencers. Gone are the complexes for having “dots” on the face. Now, everyone wants to wear them because they give the face a natural, fresh and young look.
Natalia Belda, the professional makeup artist, gives the keys to why natural makeup is so fashionable. “Natural makeup is more popular because more natural beauty is being advocated, to see how to accept imperfections, what each one of us is. I also think it may be a practical matter because many people don’t know how to put on makeup. People see that with a more natural make-up they look more favored and they don’t need to have a lot of make-up”.
Although there are many ways to simulate false freckles, the truth is that the easiest is to resort to makeup. Eyebrow pencils, eyeliners, or eye pencils are the most recommended products to draw them and achieve a natural effect.
Regarding the execution to make false freckles, Natalia recommends “making the freckles with an eye-liner marker, with a brown color and making small dots, of different sizes and shapes. To make a more real freckle, I recommend doing the point from the side and not so fine, so a more realistic effect will be achieved. Afterward, to fix it, I recommend running your finger over it to remove pigments and not to make it so brown. If you still do not consider it to be natural, translucent powders help to seal and lower the intensity and color a little.”
2 DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES TO ACHIEVE IT
Freckles when you feel like it: although it is clear that it has become a trend, not everyone likes them. Therefore, there is the possibility of getting freckles whenever you want. For this reason, the makeup brand Maybelline has presented a series of routines to achieve the latest trend in freckles that is sweeping social networks.
This new trend manages to give the face a natural, fresh and young look.
- On a totally clean face, we apply the moisturizing cream that we usually use to hydrate the skin.
- Apply foundation and concealer to your natural skin tone.
- Once the face is prepared, start drawing freckles on the cheeks and nose, mainly in the central area. When making them, make a point and a small turn with the pencil, in addition, they have to be made in different sizes.

Tattooed freckles: Another way to show off the latest makeup trend is to get it tattooed. It is possible thanks to microblading. Just as it is possible to tattoo eyebrows or eyelashes, it can also be done with freckles and the result is as natural as possible. These are not fixed tattoos, but because they do not fully penetrate the skin, they end up being erased over time.
