Model Mirona Axentoi dons [faux freckle makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-touch-finish-collection) in 'Color Forms,' an editorial that is captured by photographer Calin Andreescu for Design SCENE Magazine. The image series spotlights [dynamic cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barry-m-beauty) that are executed by makeup artist Loredana Lupea. Lupea teams up with manicurist Loredana Zagon and talented hair stylist Bebe Veja who experiments with [bold up-do looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela).

Whether pulling off curled bangs or swept back locks, model Mirona sports faux freckle cosmetics ranging from fine black dots that are randomly dispersed to brown-toned flecks that appear more naturally layered and prominent.

While not ideal for everyday wear, this editorial's cosmetics aim to recreate natural beauty marks in a bold way. Despite of being covered up with makeup in the past, freckles are becoming more of a beauty statement and are becoming embraced even by those who are not naturally blessed with them.
