How to Put on Freckles for Halloween

Use makeup to give yourself a youthful, freckled look.

Whether you're dressing up as the famed children's literature character Pippi Longstocking or Anne Shirley from the "Anne of Green Gables" series, freckles are a key component to these and many other characters. Creating freckles with makeup can achieve the look of your character, or you can wear them for a youthful, fresh, non-permanent change to your appearance.

Things You'll Need

• Facial cleanser
• Towel
• Moisturizer
• Foundation
• Makeup sponge
• Blush
• Blush brush
• Brown eyeliner pencil

Instructions

1. Wash your face with a facial cleanser. Blot your face with the towel until your face is throughly dry. This will remove any oil build-up, creating a fresh surface for the makeup.

2. Apply moisturizer over your entire face. This will soften your skin, allowing makeup to glide on smoothly.

3. Apply foundation to your face. With the sponge, spread and smooth it into your skin, creating an even layer. The foundation will help to disguise any flaws and even out skin tone, creating a seemingly flawless face.

4. Spread blush on your face. Begin at the apples of your cheeks and spread it upward, following your cheekbones. You can also add blush to the bridge of your nose. Blush produces a rosy appearance, making you look more youthful.

5. Use the eyeliner pencil to apply freckles to your cheeks and nose. The number and darkness of the freckles depends on the look you want. For an understated look, apply a few freckles, pressing lightly with the pencil. For a bolder look, apply several freckles over your face, pressing hard on the pencil to make them darker.
