semi-permanent makeup technique.

"Faux freckles" is a semi-permanent technique that involves implanting pigment into the skin, creating a soft, pixelated freckled effect. This service is perfect if you want a more natural sun-kissed look that will gradually fade over time, typically within the next three years. We strategically manipulate the freckles to naturally create depth and detail that best complement your facial features.

Please arrive to your appointment with a fresh, clean face free of makeup.

Am I a good candidate for faux freckles?

Light coverage: Minimally detailed freckles, specifically near the bridge of the nose, with some sparse freckles fanning out of the face. This option is perfect if you're looking for a sheer, natural, minimal, sun-kissed look.

Medium coverage: More detail and depth in the sun-kissed areas of the face, especially the bridge of the nose and cheeks. This is the choice for you if you desire a natural, sheer look with a more freckled vibe.

Heavy coverage: Diverse details throughout the face with emphasis on the bridge of the nose and cheeks. 

What's the difference between light, medium, and heavy coverage?

Looking for something in particular?

Faux freckles can last one to three years, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. The drier the skin, the longer the retention will be.

Asked Questions

You're not a good candidate if...

I'm afraid of them healing cool-toned! Should I be worried?

The pigment we use is primarily inorganic, which means it will heal warmer in the skin rather than cooler and eventually fade out over time.
