3 techniques to get freckles
1- Create freckles with makeup or tanning products
There are many ways to divert beauty products: you can use eye shadow or eyebrow pencils, for a short-term effect, or a concentrated bronzing powder or cream, for an effect that can last up to 5 days.
Instructions for use:
- clean your facial skin
- apply a light powder as foundation
- Choose a first product that is 2 tones darker than your eyebrows, then a second product that is 3 tones darker than your eyebrows.
Using the pencil or a brush, draw mainly on the ridge of your nose and on your cheekbones, very small freckles, of different sizes and shapes, alternating the two colors, to obtain a natural effect. Sprinkle the spots where you want, while taking care to maintain a natural effect.
For beginners, opt for an eyebrow pencil that can be easily removed in case of a mistake.
- let dry (the tanning cream concentrate requires several hours to dry), before applying a light makeup.
2- Semi-permanent makeup
Are freckles a revelation for you? You can dare to try semi-permanent makeup: just like eyebrows or lip contour, certified beauticians will tattoo freckles on your face. This tattoo is aesthetic and not permanent. With this technique, and depending on your skin type and your rate of exposure to the sun, you can keep your freckles for a period of 3 to 10 years.
3- Enhance your natural ephelides
Is your skin light? In the sun, you have a good chance of being able to naturally bring out your freckles. To do this, protect your skin and expose your face in small doses: freckles take on a dark tint when exposed to UV rays. So, as long as you expose yourself to the sun, your freckles will be temporarily visible.
New products on the market!
To make things easier for you, there have recently been ready-to-use products that don’t require any effort or specific skills. For example, you can find pencils on the market that are exclusively designed to create freckles (“freckle pencils” in English) or “freckle yourself” patches that are easy to apply to your face.
