#TACKLE THE TREND Faux Freckles

I feel like summer is the time to experiment with makeup, its a time where we go to festivals, gigs and garden parties, which are all great opportunities to be more creative with your look! I have a 'safe' everyday makeup look, one I wear mostly because its fuss-free and I can do it in under 15 minutes. But I feel it is time to finally put down the classic nude lipstick and be a bit more bold with my makeup! I mean we only live once so why not have fun? because that's what makeup is. Each week I am going to be tackling a new SS16 trend straight outta Instagram and the wackiest cat walk shows, interpreting them in my own way to make them more wearable.

TREND #1- Faux Freckles

Seen at the Emanuel Ungaro show, models faces were splattered with faux freckles giving the skin a sun kissed youthful look.

I think there's something so ethereal and innocent about this makeup look, like an un-kept, pared back vibe! I've always found freckles beautiful but haven't been lucky enough to ever get any no matter how long I'm in the sun...

Instagram also approves, here's some of the best faux freckle looks I've seen.

I quite like the innocent freckles paired with extreme glam makeup, it contrasts beautifully.

#HOW TO ROCK IT

You can create faux freckles using your eyebrow pencil and a brow pomade or gel. I first lightly dotted them all around my nose and cheeks (where freckles naturally form) then darkened some up with a brow pomade. The way to make them look most natural is vary the size and colour of freckles, they never form in perfect dots its more of a splatter. I also found lightly patting them in with fingers after blurred them out a bit more. 

Bushy brows and dewy skin seemed like a perfect match for freckles. Also lots of peach tones on eyes, lips and blush to give the effect of being naturally kissed by the sun.
