Emma Watson "Absolutely Loves" This $15 Foolproof Freckle Pen

You see, I also have freckles, but I wasn't always comfortable with them (over the years, I've tried to fade them with chemical peels and brightening skincare products before simply hiding them behind foundation), so it was nice seeing one of my favorite characters and, later, one of my favorite actresses show them off.
Fast-forward to today, I saw her recent installment of Vogue's In the Bag, in which she shares the must-have products she keeps in her carry-on bag (ahem, Prada backpack). You can imagine my delight when, during the video, she shares the $15 product she uses to accentuate her natural freckles. Yes, she doesn't just accept them—she accentuates them!
"If I only put [this] on my face, I can get away with very little."
"I've been wearing tubular mascara for years. I love them because they come off with hot water, so when I shower, I don't have to use a makeup remover or anything like that. It's kind of more gentle on your eyes."
"I love this lip balm. This is amazing. It has SPF 15 in it and tea tree."
The exact eye mask Watson recommends seems to only be available in the UK, but I'll be buying this one from Amazon, which has the same light-blocking effect.
