TikTokers are attempting faux freckles using hair dye hack

Even after multiple attempts in the clip, she isn’t satisfied with the results.

“This was the funniest thing I have seen today,” one viewer commented.

“The first try looks like when something blows up in someone’s face in a cartoon,” another quipped.

Other TikTokers were quick to hop on the trend, like Mia, who wrapped her hair in a plastic bag to protect it from the root spray.

Complaining that “it burns,” she captioned her video, “If you can do faux freckles with this root spray you are my idol because HUH.”

Another UK makeup and beauty enthusiast, known as Maggie A on TikTok took a stab at the trend, but it was a flop.

“That is the worst thing I have ever done. I literally look like a Dalmatian,” she said in the video, which has amassed more than 544,000 views. “Safe to say this is not for me.”

But not every video was a fail.

TikToker Monique Mariek successfully achieved the natural faux freckle look in a clip posted last month.

“I know you have been seeing this all over your TikTok so naturally I’ve got to try it,” Mariek, from Australia, said in the video, which has more than 20,000 views.   

After lightly spritzing her nose and cheeks with the hair spray, she achieved the sun-kissed look other TikTokers could only dream of.

“The camera does not do this justice. It looks so natural,” she said. “This is a one hundred out of ten for me.”

These TikTokers are far from the first to attempt faux freckles. One woman wound up with permanent scars after tattooing freckles on her face while others hoping to look like Meghan Markle inked “bee stings” on their faces.
