SUCCESSFUL FRECKLES

What I find so nice about summer are the freckles that suddenly make an entrance. You only need to sit in the sun for a minute and those things suddenly pop up. It also looks so Pippi Longstocking-happy. And apparently, I am completely in sync with fashion designers and make-up artists, because this season, quite a few freckles have walked the catwalk again.

If you are not blessed with a good freckle face like Madison Stubbington or Nathalie Westling, you don’t have to worry. You just draw them on. Last season they did it at the shows of Preen and Val Garland, and now they were busy drawing dots at Rachel Zoe and Rag & Bone. Just use an eyeliner or eyebrow pencil to draw a few dots. So if you want a bit more depth in your face and a layer of foundation gives too flawless a look, this is the solution.

The big advantage is that you can hold on to summer much longer AND you look a lot younger. I am going on vacation in two weeks and I know what I need to do. Soak up the sun and show off those freckles. Oh lord, I am going to be so on-trend.
