Freckles have not always been synonymous with beauty. Far from it. Yet, a little like the teeth of happiness, these small sparse or dense tasks, are now a singularity that makes envious. The evidence of the trend of 'false freckles' is becoming more and more popular and the expression 'freckles' has more than 2 million occurrences.

Why do we want freckles?

A fresh look associated with a pink blush, a sunny complexion ... The freckles have an instant good-looking effect by bringing small touches of color on the faces. Their other asset? It gives us a juvenile and natural air, a little mischievous. So many good reasons to want to display this beauty coquetry. Very present on the parades for several seasons, the false freckles continue to attract the followers of the make-up . The proof ? Selena Gomez , the American teen idol popstar and former girlfriend Justin Bieber gave in to temptation and appears (a bit paradoxically) more natural than ever in a cliché shared by make-up artist Hung Vanngo.

With an eyebrow pencil, a dark lip pencil or a kohl pencil one can very well get a nice rendering ...

Step 2: Fade with a make-up sponge without spreading.

Step 3: Fix the make-up with a fixing spray or loose powder and proudly wear your freckles!
