Freckles look perfect against a bare, fresh complexion especially during the hot summer months.

Model, Emily Ratajkwoski took to Instagram to share a striking photograph of expertly applied makeup courtesy of Hung Vanngo, with one exciting new detail: freckles, expertly applied across her nose and cheeks – a beauty trick that celebrity makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury swears by for its instant anti-aging effect.
How To
To create the look,use a brown eyeliner and eyebrow pencil to draw faux freckles on the bridge of the nose and outwards, then diffused them with your finger for a blurred, natural effect.
Ratajkowski let the dots take center stage by keeping her base makeup sun-kissed and effortless, with nude lips to match.
This look is meant to enhance your natural beauty so don't focus too much on other features, let the freckles do all the talking.
To prevent the look from smudging, opt for a dusting of translucent loose powder followed by a spritz of makeup setting spray.

If you already have freckles, enhance them with sheer foundation or skip it altogether to save time on your beauty routine this summer.
