. The easiest and cheapest way to create fake freckles is with a brown eyeshadow with a warm undertone. In fact, it is important that the eyeshadow is slightly warm because it will harmonize better with the natural colors of the skin, which often has redness. If you use the foundation you will have to apply it first, otherwise it will cover the freckles created. Once the face base has been made and powdered, just use a small brush , angled or eyeliner, dip it in the color and tap iton the face, nose, cheeks and for an even more natural effect, making some scattered freckles also on the chin and forehead. To make them look real, try to make them of different sizes and intensities , from stronger to less, not always taking the eyeshadow but leaving some lighter . If they seem too thick, dark or fake, you can blend them lightly by tapping them on your fingers. Eyebrow creams allow you to get a longer lasting effect
With eyeshadow, if you forget you made them and touch your face, the freckles will come off, so beware! If you want a more lasting result, which leaves freckles even if you inadvertently put your hands on your face, you can use an eyebrow ointment . The longlasting effect they have on the eyebrows will also be guaranteed on the face, but be careful, because being very pigmented they could create a very fake effect and must be known to dose . Always with a brush , take a little color , dilute the excess on the back of the hand and tap it on the face . If some freckles are mistakenly too dark, immediately swipe a finger over them to lighten them, because once dry it will be difficult to make them less heavy without having to remove make-up.

Another method to get really natural fake freckles is to use a spray to cover the regrowth that is eliminated with a simple hair wash. The effect is really very natural , it is difficult to understand that they are fake, especially by choosing a light brown and slightly reddish tone . The secret is to just press the dispenser , so that a direct jet of color does not come out but literally is sprayed on the facein small specks of color, which will look like real freckles. This is because the product is impalpable but, above all, because none will be of the same size and intensity as the other. It will also be easier to spread them all over the face in a natural way, so that they look even more realistic. Do not overdo using this method, however, because it is still a hair product and, although it is washable and suitable for cosmetic use, it is not tested to be used on the face. Ok for a particular photo or evening, but not as an option to use every day.
