Hands up if you love it when your freckles come out after flirting with a bit of sun? Because you’re not alone. In fact, ‘Faux Freckles’ is a massive beauty trend thanks to beauty influencer Elle McNamara, who recently took to TikTok to share how she achieves ‘Fake Tan Freckles’ - and in just 4 days, the hack went viral with 3.7M views and countless comments asking about the beauty tool she used.
So what was the tool she used? Well it’s all thanks to the bareMineral’s Smoothing Face Brush, priced at £25. Elle uses a little St Tropez Self Tan Extra Dark Mousse on the stippling brush to help achieve those gorgeous, natural looking faux freckles!
After using the brush all over her nose, cheeks and forehead, Elle follows with a beauty blender to help press the tan into the face and create a flawless finish.
Countless comments have been left saying “I always thought your freckles were natural! They look amazing”, “As someone with a lot of face freckles this first time I’ve ever seen it look natural & look good!!” and “This is the best freckle tutorial ever made” - we couldn’t agree more!
Faux freckles continue to take the beauty world by storm each summer, and whilst using a brow pencil to achieve this has been used for decades, the latest TikTok trend shows how longer-lasting #FauxFreckles can be achieved without makeup.

Lottie London’s Freckle Tint, priced at £6.95 and available in two different shades, has also been a fan favourite on the beauty and TikTok scene for either highlighting real ones - and making them more prominent, to just adding a few here and there for a sun kissed effect.
The Freckle Tint is just a temporary skin tint, much like the fake tan Elle uses, and adds instant freshness to any look.
We’re desperate to give this look a try, are you? Or have you got a different method you like to use? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Freck, Missguided Beauty, XX Revolution and Lime Crime also have easy to use faux freckle pens that are easy to use and a must-have if you want to give your skin the natural sun-kissed look without stepping foot in the sun.
So what are you waiting for? It’s not looking good weather-wise for those freckles to come out on their own, so you might as well fake it!
