Billie Eilish’s Secret to Natural-Looking Freckles Is a Drugstore Product You’d Never Expect
Billie Eilish uses a surprising Revlon brow pen to recreate her childhood freckles.
During her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, Billie Eilish shared a simple trick for recreating her childhood freckles. She used a drugstore brow pen on her nose and cheeks.
What makeup tips did Billie Eilish share for her faux freckles?
In a Dec. 21, 2024 TikTok, Eilish revealed her secret to faux freckles. She uses Revlon ColorStay 5-in-1 Semi-Permanent Brow Ink, which was listed at $9.99 at the time.
The clip walked viewers through her pre-show makeup routine. Alongside the Revlon pen, she used products from NARS, Laura Mercier and Makeup by Mario. According to Teen Vogue’s breakdown of her makeup routine, the brow ink carried the $9.99 price when she posted. It was designed to fill and define eyebrows rather than create freckles, making its use in Eilish’s routine an unexpected twist.

How does Billie Eilish apply her fake freckles?
Eilish uses the pointed applicator to dot the ink across her nose and cheekbones. She then blends the dots with her fingertips for a more natural look.
The sweetest moment came when she held up a childhood photograph of herself with natural freckles and added the caption “Just trying 2 get back to dis.” According to Allure’s coverage of Eilish’s makeup routine, she gently blends the dots after placing them. The look is not about inventing something new. It is about getting back to the kid in that photo.
Why does Revlon’s brow ink work as a freckle pen alternative?
The brow ink’s fine, pointed tip is built to draw precise, hair-like strokes, making it useful for creating small, natural-looking freckle dots without reaching for a dedicated freckle pen.
Revlon’s official product description identifies ColorStay Semi-Permanent Brow Ink as a product designed to fill, define and groom eyebrows. The formula is advertised as waterproof, transfer-proof and smudge-proof, and the brand claims up to three days of wear when used on brows, though that longevity is not guaranteed when the product is dotted onto skin as freckles. It comes in four shades: Blonde, Soft Brown, Warm Brown and Dark Brown.
Can you still buy Billie Eilish’s faux freckle product?
Yes, the Revlon ColorStay 5-in-1 Semi-Permanent Brow Ink is still sold, but the $9.99 price Teen Vogue listed in December 2024 is not guaranteed anymore.
Revlon’s website lists the product for $16.99, so fans hoping to match the original drugstore price may want to compare retailers before buying. Because the formula is intended for eyebrows, anyone trying Eilish’s freckle technique should follow the manufacturer’s directions.
