Once upon a time, freckles were often labeled as a ‘flaw,’ deemed blemishes that people felt the need to conceal with layers of full coverage makeup, if you can imagine.
But in recent years, those blessed with a tan look have been embraced, with others even paying to replicate them. One celebrity who fakes it till she makes it (that is, freckles-wise) is Sydney Sweeney with her take on the cosmetic trend.
In a recent Instagram post shared by the Sydney hairstylist, Actor Glen Oropeza sports a minimal, no-makeup look with layered, straight blonde locks. But aside from the windswept hair, it was the freckles that Sydney rocked that had us doing a doubleno, triple take.
Prepare to be amazed by Syd’s natural beauty, friends…
Superb, right?
Taking the words right out of our mouths, one person took to the comments section to draw attention to Sydney’s first freckles. “I’ve never seen her freckles before,” they wrote, garnering over 100 likes from her other followers.
However, in response to this statement, another fan wrote: “It’s because she doesn’t have real freckles.” Blasé but I guess the more you know, hey!
I mean, it’s no surprise that many of us were surprised by her freckles because they really look *so* realistic. Kudos to the makeup artist behind this glam, Melissa Hernandez, who clearly knows her stuff.
Now, Melissa, if you wouldn’t mind sharing the technique and products used to achieve this look, it would be much appreciated.
