gemma_arterton_love.jpgUsually when a celebrity or a model poses for a magazine their skin is photoshopped to within an inch of its life, giving them unattainably clear, even complexions and eradicating anything less than perfect - which is why it's so strange (but refreshing) to see Gemma Arterton on the cover of LOVE magazine with all these freckles on show!

The actress fronts the magazine with apparently bare skin, and not much other make up, bar some mascara and eyeliner, which makes the flash of hot pink lipstick she's wearing all the more impactful.

What do you think of Gemma's freckles? As a freckly girl myself (even more so since I went on holiday) it's quite nice seeing these pictures, I usually hate mine so it's sort of reassuring.

If you want to copy Gemma's bold look, forgo the foundation and check out our favourite pink lipsticks below.
