The freckles will then develop over eight hours, and can be ‘topped up’ with self-tan if you’re looking to achieve a darker appearance. The pen can also be used to overline the outside of your lip border or contour your nose. Sound good? You can shop for and have a go at creating your own ‘strawberry girl’ makeup.
