Freckles may have felt like a nuisance in childhood, but many of us grow to love these unique spots. Beauty YouTuber Aliénor shares her professional tips to enhance and celebrate them. For some, freckles—those natural marks that appear in childhood—are seen as flaws to cover with heavy foundation. That's a mistake.
These charming spots are a beauty asset worth showcasing.
Aliénor, a trusted beauty expert on YouTube, offers her advice to make them shine.
Hiding freckles defeats the purpose, so apply foundation sparingly for a natural look.
Skip full-coverage formulas with a cakey finish. Instead, choose sheer options like tinted moisturizers, BB creams, or CC creams—liquid and translucent textures are key.
Target imperfections directly: dab concealer on pimples or dark circles as needed.
Set with a light dusting of translucent powder. If foundation feels too heavy, gently blend it away with a cotton swab to reveal your freckles.
Freckled skin often has warm, golden undertones, notes Aliénor.
Warm it up with apricot blush for a healthy glow or a touch of bronzer.
For eyes, select coppery, warm shades that beautifully complement freckles (ephelides). Stick to sun-kissed tones: browns and golds for eyes, orange-reds for lips.
These hues align perfectly with summer trends, just like freckles that deepen in the sun.
