Well, we’ve all heard of shimmery eyeshadow, glossy lips, and luminescent highlights. But what about shimmering freckles? They’re the latest beauty trend making waves on TikTok, thanks to Taylor Swift.
The pop star is no stranger to casual glamor and sequins, but at a recent Chiefs game she upped her game by pairing a gold glitter freckled Vivienne Westwood ensemble. This sparkle added a playful (and experimental) touch to Taylor’s going-out style and set in motion the flashy freckles trend. TikTok has 66 million posts covering this topic.

Where do Taylor Swift’s glitter freckles come from?
Rumors on the internet say Taylor’s freckles are from Florida-based beauty brand Fagit. The brand sells glitter freckles make-up patches for just £13 and are designed to be applied to your face in one go (sort of like a temporary tattoo). Fazit co-founder Aliett Buttelman shared her live reaction on TikTok with the news that sales increased by 2,500% in just 13 hours after the event.

How to get the look

Makeup patches will probably be the easiest (and quickest) option. And if it’s good enough for Taylor Swift, it’s good enough for us. According to Fazit, here’s how to apply glitter freckles patches:
Peel off the backing paper and apply the patch adhesive side down. Wet a towel and dab the patch for 60 seconds. Peel off the patch to reveal stardust speckles.
The brand says the glitter lasts for 24 to 72 hours and can be removed with micellar water or an oil-based cleanser (no scrubbing required).

If you don’t have the patch on hand, don’t worry. You can also recreate the look using liquid glitter or mix it with a freckle pen to add more realistic freckles around the glitter spots. Here’s how:
Prepare your skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. (Always wear sunscreen, especially if you’re outdoors.) Apply a makeup base: Use a primer to create a smooth canvas. Applying a lightweight foundation or concealer can help even out your skin tone without having to apply heavy layers. Apply primer: Take a small amount of glitter primer and apply it to the area where you want your freckles. This improves the adhesion of liquid glitter. Create glitter freckles: Use an eyeshadow brush and dip it in liquid glitter. Dab the brush over the area where you applied the primer to create small dots that look like freckles. You can vary the size and intensity by adjusting the amount of glitter it picks up. Add fake freckles: After applying glitter, use a freckle pen to add realistic freckles around and between the glitter spots. This adds depth and recreates natural freckles. Set your makeup: Set everything by sprinkling a light setting powder all over your face, focusing on oily areas. Finally, apply a setting spray to secure everything in place. Final touches: Complete your look with any additional makeup you had planned and you’re ready to go.
