I'm excited to share a freckled makeup look with you.


If, like me, you are dealing with some blemishes on your skin. Follow along to learn how to create this cute, natural freckle makeup.


You’re going to actually make fake freckles with your makeup to hide your blemishes - and, you probably already have all the makeup products you will need.

Tools and materials:

  • Foundation
  • Blush
  • Eyeshadow (various shades)
  • Winged eyeliner
  • Inner corner highlight
  • False lashes
  • Lip color (brownish-pinkish)
  • Highlighter
  • Brushes for freckles (small, medium, fluffy)
  • Eyebrow brush
  • Pink tint for lips (optional)
Applying foundation

1. Apply base makeup 

Start by applying foundation to even out your skin tone and hide any imperfections.

Adding blush

2: Try this unique blush technique 

Here is a new blush technique I discovered on TikTok. 


Apply blush under your eye zone for a cute effect that makes you appear a bit shy. 


This blush technique really complements the freckled makeup.

Adding blush to eyes

3. Add eyeshadow and winged liner 

To create a soft, blended eyes look, apply a little blush to your eyelids.

Adding blush to chin

Add a little blush to the tip of your nose and your chin for a natural look.

Blending makeup

Use a soft, fluffy brush to blend in the edges of your blush.

Adding eyeliner

Then draw a basic winged liner, softening the edges for a seamless finish.

Blending makeup

Use a makeup brush to blend and soften the line.

 

Adding highlight to eyes

4. Create an inner corner highlight

Use a very fine brush to make inner corner highlights. This will make a big difference in opening up your eyes.

Adding false eyelashes

5. Add false eyelashes (optional)

Apply false lashes to elevate your eye makeup. 


Lashes can enhance your eyes and hide certain areas, especially if you have hooded eyes.

Adding faux freckles

6. Create freckles

I am using eyeshadows to create natural-looking freckles.


You also need to use a variety of brushes and eyeshadow shades to achieve different sizes and shapes for your freckles, giving a more authentic appearance. 


Dot on your freckles.

Blending freckles

Then, tap the freckles with your fingertip to gently blend them. 


Apply your freckles in a very random pattern, rather than symmetrically. That will give you a more natural look. 


Vary the size of brush, and the pressure with which you apply the eyeshadow freckles.

Grooming brows

7. Groom your eyebrows

Brush your eyebrows up with a spoolie brush.

Contouring lips

8. Lip contouring and color 

Use the same tone eyeshadow you used for your freckles to contour your lips.

Contouring lips

You can create a bit of a smiling effect on your lips by drawing in a slight line at the outer corners.

Applying lip color

Finally, add a nice pink-toned lip color.

Applying highlighyer

9. Apply highlighter 

Highlighter is a must to bring the makeup to life. 


Apply highlighter to your nose, cheeks, and lips to create a vibrant and radiant look.
