A brand new US beauty company have come up with a way for those of us who are freckle-free to try the sun-kissed look out.
Freck Yourself who are based in Los Angeles are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to finance their temporary freckle tattoo product.
According to Mashable: ‘New cosmetic brand Freck Yourself wants to offer users a realistic, semi-permanent freckle stencil that lasts for 48 hours. The more you use the product, the more the spots will fade onto your skin. Some will last 4-6 weeks, the Los Angeles-based company claims.’
The trend for faking freckles has been around for a few years, with Topshop marketing a ‘Freckle Pencil’ back in 2014.
However, Freck Yourself view their product as a more natural looking version, as the effects with pencil means all your freckles will be the same size. As well as this, freckles created with makeup are easily smudged and don’t last as long as their new formula according to the creators.
You apply a stencil with small holes of varying sizes to your face, and roll the product over it. The product then seeps through the holes creating your new freckles.
The kit comes with 72 self-adhesive stencils and a rollerball of formula that is similar in formulation to sunless tanner. The freckle patterns look natural and last 2 days.
Would you try this out or is it a complete waste of your hard earned cash?
This sums up how we feel about it.
