Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Regarding the faux freckle trend, celebrity makeup artist Molly R. Stern told Well+Good, "It's such a fun trend that adds an element of youth and a playful characteristic." Just remember that when you create natural-looking freckles, they don't have to all be the same shape and size, no matter whether you experiment on your bare skin or over makeup.

The Independent's pick for the best faux freckle pen is the Jason Wu Beauty Jason the Freckled Boy pen, which has a precise applicator to create subtle freckles or a cluster on your skin. You can use it to make dots or tap out with your fingertips to create little beauty marks. This is the perfect pen to create a sun-kissed complexion, and is infused with rose water so that it won't irritate your skin — and will last all day. 

StyleCaster loves Freck O.G. Freckle Pen because it can create natural, long-lasting freckles. It's actually the world's first freckle cosmetic, and it comes in a darker shade, so it can work for all skin tones. No one will be able to tell that you created the freckles because they will look incredibly realistic. For a more affordable option, choose ColourPop Freckle Pen. It's super easy to use this pen to customize your individual freckles. Plus, it is available in two shades: a soft brown for fair to medium skin tones and dark brown for medium, dark, and deep dark skin tones.
