The best freckle pens are taking over TikTok for their tone-mimicking pigments that look near identical to real spots. By definition, natural freckles are well-defined brown spots that show up in sun-exposed areas of skin, most commonly on the face, arms, chest, and neck. Genetics play a key role in whether your skin is predisposed to developing them, but freckles can also be a sign of sun damage—which is why you can't just sit outside to get a handful of artfully placed freckles on your face.
Since not everyone naturally freckles in the sun (but we all do burn), exposing yourself to harsh UV rays is far from your best route to a freckled look. Instead, give the fake freckles trend a try with these easy-to-use, smudge-proof pens that our editors (and a few professional makeup artists, and celebs like Billie Eilish and Hailey Bieber) swear by for natural-looking beauty marks that create the illusion of a naturally-flawless, makeup-free base. Below, take a look at our go-to faux freckle pens, plus MUA tips on how to apply them for your longest-lasting, most natural-looking freckle makeup.
