It is believed that freckles are the lot of redheads, but even blondes and brunettes are not immune from a scattering of golden or grayish-brown dots on the face. Cosmetologists assure that it is impossible to get rid of the kisses of the sun by any means, at least without serious consequences for the skin. In clinics, freckles are removed using a laser, but the cost of such procedures is high, and the side effects have not been studied. It is better not to take risks, especially since fashion designers and stylists are vying with each other: freckles are beautiful. For the owners of freckles, they create special cosmetics, celebrities demonstrate sun spots, and for those who are not naturally endowed with them, make-up artists draw them. Although some remain true to their beliefs and continue to perceive freckles as a serious defect in appearance.
As a rule, the most freckled young ladies are representatives of the warm type of appearance. They have auburn or bronze brown hair, blonde or red eyelashes, and their eyebrows range in color from reddish to light brown. To create a spectacular make-up, they do not have to resort to bright decorative cosmetics, it is enough to emphasize freckles.
Leather. Make sure your foundation is warm and light in texture, and your blush should be creamy, peach or caramel to give your skin a radiant effect. To fix makeup and neutralize oily sheen, use a transparent powder of sandy or peach tones.
Eyebrows. It is important that their color is in harmony with the hair color. Therefore, eyebrows should be painted with a special persistent dye in chestnut or neutral brown, then you will only have to correct the eyebrow line with shadows.
Eyes. Owners of freckles, without exception, are suitable for shades of natural shades: ivory, milk or dark chocolate, cream and sandy brown. Shades of gold, bronze and copper also look good. Mascara should be chosen in the colors of chocolate, bronze or brass, and if you want to add contrast, opt for the classic black. It is better to outline the lash line with a chocolate brown or black pencil.
Lips. Those whom nature has endowed with red hair often have a beautiful natural lip tint. To emphasize it, it is enough to use a transparent gloss. As for lipstick, your colors are golden, bronze, caramel, tomato red, coral, orange brick.
If you are the type of person who prefers to hide their sun kisses, get ready: masking freckles is not easy. To “erase” them, you will need a lot of effort and time.
If freckles are scattered all over your face, match the concealer to your skin tone and apply to the most problematic areas – the wings of the nose and under the eyes. Then use a lilac base to make the complexion more even and neutralize the reddish brown color. The foundation or BB cream will continue to work on the problem: there is no fundamental difference between them, but BB creams contain special oils that moisturize the skin and relieve inflammation. By the way, it is better to choose products with a UV filter to provide the skin with additional protection from the sun.
If there are few freckles, you should not resort to a makeup base. Better to use concealer and spot them, then apply peach or pink blush. This way you will be able to preserve the lightness and naturalness of the make-up as a whole, so that the face does not look like a frozen mask.
When choosing makeup, follow the same rules as when highlighting freckles. And remember: now naturallook is at the peak of popularity, that is, natural, natural makeup. A three-stage concealment system – a concealer, a base, a foundation – is good only for going out, and in everyday life there should be as little cosmetics on the face as possible.
Julianne Moore highlights freckles
We were asked to comment on the makeup of the freckled stars. make-up artist-stylist, make-up trainer, art director of the Salon-service center Anna Belkina.
“The most famous freckles among the stars are Gwyneth Paltrow and Julianne Moore. They are both “hot” brown-haired women, feel great in their type and skillfully use the gifts of nature: slightly changing the shade of red hair, a little more or a little less emphasizing the presence of freckles … Although they do not deny themselves their complete camouflage.
A particularly successful make-up option for Gwyneth Paltrow – using a “dangerous”, delicate lilac shade of shadows, which successfully emphasizes the color of the eyes. Another option could create an unfavorable conflict between the colors of the appearance and the color of the shadows, making the eyes tear-stained, and the appearance as a whole exhausted and painful. “
