If you have no freckles on your face, it is time to draw them. This summer, freckles are the hottest trend.
Not long ago, freckles were fought in many different ways – from using questionable creams to cosmetic surgery. Today, even those who have never had freckles want to get them, because they have become incredibly popular. Two weeks ago, Demi Lovato posted a makeupless selfie called “Freckles” on Instagram, and later Topshop released a special cosmetic pencil, allowing everyone to draw freckles at home.
Today freckles are a trend as hot as the bushy eyebrows like Kara Delevingne or dimples like Kate Middleton. Freckle pencils have been sold for years by a variety of brands from Lancôme to Chanel. A celebrity makeup artist from the UK, Kate Best, who has worked with Teri Hatcher and Vanessa Williams, shared some professional secrets to achieve the most fashionable summer image.
Kate advises using a pencil a few shades lighter than your eyebrows. Draw dots on both sides of the nose and nasal septum. Freckles must not extend beyond the middle of the cheek. The tip of the pencil should be blunt, for the freckles to be more realistic. Gently press the dots with your finger, and then apply a little powder and distribute it with a brush. Remember that less is better. Freckles on your face should look completely natural, so that they do not attract much attention. Do not forget that they are drawn, so do not rub your face. Otherwise, your trendy image will turn into a smeared face, which urgently needs to be washed.
