While you may have tried valiantly to conceal your own freckles during your high school years, it looks like these once unwanted beauty spots are officially experiencing a moment in the spotlight. Although faux freckles returned to the forefront of beauty not too long ago, the newest update on this surprising trend is both colourful and unique.

Rainbow freckles have recently made an unexpected splash on Instagram, and have been adopted by makeup lovers as an eye-catching statement look. Unlike everyday freckles which are light brown in colour, these girlish freckles are painted on the visage in brilliant shades of violet and blue.

For adventurous beauty addicts who are looking to embrace coloured freckles for a party look on the weekends, try recreating this rising trend with liquid lipstick. Carefully place tiny drops of the lipstick across your nose bridge and cheekbones to channel your inner bohemian queen. If you’re aiming to bring metallics into your beauty look, the rainbow freckles can also be combined with drops of gold and silver for a contrasting effect.

Here’s a sneak peek at the latest unconventional trend to make a mark among beauty lovers this winter.
