If you haven't already developed a TikTok obsession in lockdown, what the hell have you been doing?
Don't you dare say learning a new language...
While YouTube will always be our go-to for drama and all Shane Dawson/Jeffree Star content, TikTok is quickly becoming our favourite place for learning niche beauty hacks.
Like, how to get the best curls of your life using the belt from your dressing gown.
Told you they were niche.
The latest hack to have caught our eye is by Danielle Marcan, who we have been stalking ever since we first downloaded that little black square onto our phones.
Danielle is one of our favourite makeup influencers on the app and her recent video showing how to fake faux freckles at home might just be our favourite one yet.
You see, not all of us were blessed with a Meghan Markle complexion and would give anything to have a natural scattering of sun-kissed freckles across our face.
This is where Danielle comes in.
Whilst there are fake freckle products on the market, Danielle went outside the box and found a semi-permanent option that means you can have your very own freckles for two days straight.
Her secret weapon?
Maybelline's Tattoo Brow. Which at £11.99 is the most useful thing you can order right now, because not only will it make you look like you've just spent a week soaking up the sun in Greece, but it will also save you from your long overdue brow appointment.
That's because Tattoo Brow is actually a semi-permanent waterproof gel that gives your eyebrows the tint they are so desperately lacking, at home.
Once you've sorted the brows, it's time to attempt Danielle's freckle hack. Which is as simple as dotting the gel over your face with a brush - try and replicate where freckles naturally appear for the most realistic effect.
As per the instructions on Maybelline's website, if you only want the colour to last for one day, leave your freckles to set for 20 minutes. But if you want to extend your freckles for 3 days, leave to set for 2 hours before peeling off - Same goes for your eyebrows.
Now all that's left to do to complete your fake holiday glow is to master Frankie Bridge's back-tanning hack...
