# Faux Freckle Pencils Topshop's Freckle Pencil Will Give You a Naturally Fake Freckle Face By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-06-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freckle-face References: [style.mtv](http://style.mtv.com/2014/06/26/freckle-pencil/) & [vogue](http://www.vogue.co.uk/beauty/2014/06/25/topshop-freckle-pencil-spring-summer-2014) Drawing on [beauty marks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingermimicking-makeup-applicators) is a trick that's been around for decades, but this idea is taking a new form with the Freckle Pencil. Although there are many people who complain about freckles appearing on their skin, the [brown-colored pencil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparklestik-eye-crayon) will help to provide an instant sun-spotted look to those who desire it. In terms of what you're applying to your skin, the formula probably isn't all that different from other [eyebrow or eyeliner pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glossier-boy-brow-arch). However, what makes the look more natural is that the pencil is marbleized, so that your freckles aren't all the same color and you come out looking like a cartoon character with identical freckles. Topshop will be releasing its Freckle Pencil in July for £5 in the UK. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Freckle Makeup Trend:** The rise of freckle makeup products presents opportunities for cosmetic companies to create innovative faux freckle solutions. - **Natural-looking Makeup:** The popularity of marbleized freckle pencils highlights the demand for makeup that mimics natural skin features, creating a chance for beauty brands to develop more realistic and customizable products. - **Self-expression Through Makeup:** The freckle pencil trend taps into the desire for self-expression through unique beauty looks, opening doors for companies to create innovative makeup tools and techniques. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetics Industry:** Cosmetic companies can explore the freckle makeup trend and develop innovative products to meet the growing demand for faux freckle solutions. - **Beauty Industry:** The rise of natural-looking makeup, including marbleized freckle pencils, presents opportunities for beauty brands to create realistic and customizable products that cater to consumers' desire for a more authentic appearance. - **Makeup Tool Industry:** The freckle pencil trend offers possibilities for the makeup tool industry to develop new tools and techniques that allow individuals to express their unique beauty through faux freckles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffee-Inspired Beauty Stains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brow-freckle-stay-n.md) - [Dual-Tipped Brow Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loreal-paris-faux-brow.md) - [Waterproof Eyebrow Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quick-fill-eyebrow-pencil.md) - [Patch-Style Makeup Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeup-patches.md) - [Micro Concealing Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisa-eldridge-pinpoint.md) - [Microfine Brow Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/precisely-my-brow-detailer.md) - [Skin-Caring Bronzer Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-freak-bronzer-stick.md) - [Multipurpose Beauty Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-color-crayon.md) - [3-in-1 Brow Enhancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brow-enhancer.md)
