Step by step guide
Creating natural freckles with our sponge is a breeze. Follow these simple steps for a sun-kissed, fresh look that will last all day.
1. Prepare your skin
Before you begin, make sure your skin is clean and moisturized. Well-hydrated skin helps your makeup adhere better and looks more natural. Apply your foundation or BB cream if you wear it, but keep a good coverage to keep freckles from getting mixed in with possible spots, scars, and other imperfections.
2. Choose your product to color your freckles
For a natural effect, it is important to choose a product that imitates the natural color of freckles. The ideal is to use an eyeshadow with good hold. For a more natural and adjustable result, choose a powder eyeshadow rather than a cream. If you are using a liquid or cream product, place a small amount on the back of your hand. Do not put the liquid directly on the sponge.
3. Apply the product to the sponge
With the freckle sponge, application becomes easy and uniform. To do this:
Gently tap the freckles of your sponge into your chosen product. Be careful not to overload the sponge; a light dabbing is sufficient.
If the product is too liquid, remove the excess by lightly tapping the sponge on your wrist to avoid too marked stains.
4. Dab to create the freckles
Now it's time to bring your freckles to life!
Place the sponge on your skin, taking care to pinch the sponge between your fingers to bring out the spots as much as possible, and gently dab it on the areas where you want to create the spots, usually the nose and the top of the cheeks, while keeping your fingers still pressed around the sponge . Bounce the spots irregularly for a more realistic effect: natural freckles are never perfectly aligned!
For a "blended" effect on the skin, lightly tap your fingers, or the smooth part of your sponge, on the spots immediately after application.
Latest tips and tricks
Vary the locations: Freckles can also be placed around the forehead, chin, and even a little on the neck if you are looking for a very natural effect.
More or less Intense?: For a discreet look, use a slightly lighter color and apply light touches. For a more assertive effect, choose a slightly darker shade.
Clean your sponge: After each use, clean the sponge with a little warm water and a mild cleanser to avoid product buildup. Let it air dry before storing.
Do not rub the raised dots too hard to avoid damaging them or even making them disappear. Absolutely avoid any exfoliant with grains.
