Applying a face full of fake freckles to each model ahead of Preen's SS15 show today, Val Garland revealed that Brazilian Super Gisele Bundchen is a devotee of the unusual beauty trick.

The 34-year-old subtly draws on her famous freckles almost daily, Garland disclosed. "It makes me look younger," the model told the Mac make-up pro.

While drawing on dots may seem like an unusual addition to a beauty routine, Garland certainly pulled off the look for the Preen show, where she wanted to create a "fresh-from-the-gym rosy flush".

She used a combination of brown toned pencils from coffee to mahogany and a dirty blonde shade called Stone to gently dot the models' faces.

And faux freckles weren't confined to make-up - St Tropez's Nichola Joss extended the look to the body with an innovative flick brush technique.

Using an acrylic paint brush she bought from a local art shop, Joss dipped the hard bristled brush in St Tropez's wash-off dark tan and flicked the bristles towards the skin, creating a smattering of natural looking 'freckles' over the arms, chests and legs.
