Scots star Karen Gillan reveals she paints on freckles with graphic design pen

Karen Gillan has revealed she paints on her freckles.

The 33-year-old Jumanji star adds extra beauty spots onto her skin using a graphic design pen as she finds them “­anti-ageing”.

The Inverness-born star told Vogue magazine: “This is my freckle pen…a graphic design pen.

“Basically, I use this to paint on freckles because I love freckles so much and, weirdly, I don’t have as many as other ginger people ­naturally have.

“I find them to be so cute and actually so anti-ageing.

“What I do is I kind of lightly dot all over the areas where I do naturally  have freckles but they’re more faint and then I also like to do some on the forehead.

“Then I sort of dab them in a little bit.” Karen added: “Now that my skin is ­prepared I can start to do my make-up, which is ­something I love to do.

"I really love make-up.

“I feel like I’m painting a ­picture or something.”

The former Doctor Who star added: “You only get one set of skin in your life and so, therefore, you should just treat yourself or swipe some samples from the airport or something.”
