What Is TikTok’s Broccoli Freckles Trend And How You Can Do It Too
Freckles which was once considered a facial faux pas has now gained the title of a coveted beauty feature. The craze over the look has been building for the past few years and it has now generated a new beauty buzz on TikTok – the broccoli freckles trend.
Yes, you read that right. Broccoli. We know that our kitchen staples are loaded with beauty remedies but the idea of using one of them to apply makeup might not have really popped into your mind. In this beauty trend beauty influencers are using the florets of this green vegetable to create natural-looking freckles on your face. Intriguing right? Here’s the lowdown on this viral trend and how you can try it yourself (with some hygiene considerations in mind of course!).
How to do TikTok’s Broccoli Freckles Trend
First off, wash your broccoli thoroughly before using it on your face! Our skin is not the ground to play with so you must. We don’t even recommend putting your hands on your face without cleaning it first let alone a store-bought vegetable. Now decide what product you’ll use to create the freckles. Cream bronzer or a waterproof liquid product are popular choices for this. Take out a little bit of the product on a plate or another clean surface.
Then dip the broccoli into your chosen product and gently dab the broccoli onto the bridge of your nose, cheeks, and forehead. You can apply with a little more pressure for a bolder freckle or a lighter touch for a subtle effect. Once you’re happy with your freckle placement, set them in place with a translucent setting powder to prevent smudging.
The broccoli freckle trend is a fun and creative way to experiment with your look. However, there are some things to keep in mind. Broccoli isn’t reusable, so this is a one-time application. Additionally, some dermatologists recommend against using food on your face due to potential hygiene concerns.
So, while the broccoli freckle trend is innovative, it might be best for a quick social media snap or a fun night out.
