A wistful sigh...

So on the one hand, I really miss having freckles on my face.

On the other hand, I definitely don't miss cluster headaches, and the sun getting in my eyes turned out to be a major contributor to those, so hat-with-an-extra-wide-brim it is. And it's probably better for preventing skin cancer as well, especially since it runs in my family.

But still. I miss my freckles!

A stencil is a great idea! Brush a powder across it, then maybe a setting spray.

I was sort of thinking, well, you know how sometimes if you leave a can of spray paint sitting around too long it gets to that stage where it throws out bigger blobs instead of a fine mist? Make me a nozzle that does that deliberately, and then put some darker-than-usual spray tan in the can. :D There could be 3 or 4 colors, to mimic different freckle shades.

Your way is much better, though. Because rainbow! Or metallic purple, or glow in the dark, or anything! *heart eyes*

A stencil, yes! That's the vocabulary I'm looking for!

And since it's a stencil, you can also make it any shapes you want, not just dots. I can finally have a brushing of stars over my cheeks and nose, or tiny hearts, or even both!

Hmm, how do we Kickstarter this? 😜

This is very true, and you know what it means? It means my face could be covered in tiny cats! ♥

I suppose first we have to find someone who knows a lot more about makeup than "it comes in powder and in goop formats," which is about the limit of my expertise... :D

Yesss! And how about actual realistic whiskers surrounded by little dots? Or any sort of elaborate face painting thing that would otherwise have to be applied by hand?

I think the solution is clear: We need to find someone in the cosplay circuit to collude with.
