Kate Winslet says glamour is all about being “understated”.
The Oscar-winning actress says it’s important not to go over-the-top when getting ready to go out as less is nearly always more.
She said: “Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated. For example, with very bold lip colours, you can’t overdo the rest of your face. With a bright-red party lipstick, just go with lots of mascara and keep everything else clean. I love Lancome’s L’Absolu Rouge lipstick as it lasts. Unless you spend the whole night snogging, you won’t need to reapply.”
Kate also says she mixes two foundations together when preparing her face base.
She told InStyle magazine: “I rarely rely on one foundation – mixing two colours can make a big difference. I never use too much powder, only in the right areas (such as the T-zone). I have peachy fuzz on my cheeks, so I have to be careful with powder. I add a little of Lancome’s Golden Hat Blush Palette on my cheeks – it just brightens up everything.”

Evan Rachel Wood’s first fully frontal nude scene was toasted by Kate Winslet.
The 24-year-old actress stripped off for her role in Oscar-winning HBO mini-series ‘Mildred Pierce’ and although she was going to “chicken out” her co-star Kate – a screen nudity veteran – gave her loads of encouragement and was waiting with a stiff drink once it was over.
Evan said: “Kate is one of the strongest, bravest women I’ve met. She’s so confident and is so comfortable with her body; which makes her so beautiful.
“I had to appear completely nude and I was going to chicken out, but she really put the scene and that moment into perspective and she was right. I’m so glad I did it. She was waiting with a drink for me afterwards. A toast to my first full frontal. Not that I’m in a hurry to do it again.”
The bisexual star – who dated Marilyn Manson for three years – also explained working with the likes of George Clooney and Robert Redford on films encouraged her to embrace her sexuality and stand up for what she believes in.
Speaking about the pair in an interview with Stylist magazine, she said: “Working with people like them is one of the reasons I finally came out [as bisexual] this year.
“If you’re in a position where you have the opportunity to go on record and say what you believe in and hopefully help someone, I feel like there is no reason to hide who you are.”

Kate Winslet says being stylish is hard work.
The ‘Mildred Pierce’ star admits being a busy working mother often leaves her with little time to plan her wardrobe but praises American knitwear brand St John with helping her to look good.
Kate – who recently became the face of the brand – said: “Being a person who wants to be able to pull off something that is stylish and comfortable and needing to be able to pull a good look together with not much time can often be extremely difficult but a company like St John makes it so simple.
“The clothes are cut beautifully, the fabrics are elegant, you can look extremely chic without trying too hard. You don’t feel that the clothes are something that only a model would be able to wear and obviously I’m not a model, I don’t have a model shape, I have a real shape. These are the kind of clothes that I would wear, functional and practical.
“The St. John collection is effortless and chic, and I think speaks to how real women live and dress today.”
Creative director George Sharp has previously said the ‘Titanic’ star “captures the style” of the brand’s targeted female audience.
He said: “She is an accomplished, beautiful woman with an extraordinary body of work, and one of the most admired actors of her generation.
“She embodies the modern sensibility of St John, she is contemporary and authentically captures the style of the St John woman.”

Kate Winslet couldn’t refuse posing naked for “magician” Mario Testino.
The ‘Revolutionary Road’ actress paid tribute to the legendary fashion photographer’s ability to present women in the nude for shoots, and his ability to make them feel at ease with their bodies.
Presenting the photographer with a Lifetime Achievement award at the El Museo del Barrio gala in New York last week, Kate said: “You know that his biggest strength without fail is making women look beautiful. When Mario turns to you and says, ‘It’s beautiful, but I think it would work better naked, no?’ How can one refuse?
“No matter what insecurities about oneself a subject may have, Mario makes them go away like a magician.
“One moment you are in the hair and makeup chair fully clothed and wishing you had smoother skin, longer legs and smaller feet and then Mario comes in and in that charming way he takes you by the? hand and says, ‘Don’t worry it’s going to be amazing.’”
The photographer – who, in addition to his celebrity work, was behind the lens to take the official engagement photos of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton – said he has built up a certain level of trust in his industry which he believes makes it easier for him to convince people to pose au naturel.
According to People.com, he said: “I said to [Kate], I want you to pose nude for this exhibition. And she was like, ‘Oh, OK, Mario.
“She said yes right away. Most of them, I think, trust me. I would never let them down.”

Kate Winslet is the new face of St John.
The 35-year-old actress is following in the footsteps of a number of big names including Angelina Jolie, Gisele Bundchen and Karen Elson to become the latest ambassador for the American knitwear brand and says she is “excited” about her latest project.
She said: “The St John collection is effortless and chic, and I think speaks to how real women live and dress today. I am excited to collaborate with George [Sharp] and work with St John.”
Kate – who has previously done promotional work for Lancome and Longines watches – is set to star in St John’s forthcoming fall advertising campaign.
Creative director George said the ‘Titanic’ star “captures the style” of the brand’s targeted female audience.
He added: “She is an accomplished, beautiful woman with an extraordinary body of work, and one of the most admired actors of her generation.
“She embodies the modern sensibility of St John, she is contemporary and authentically captures the style of the St John woman.”
Kate’s appointment comes after controversy in January 2010 when Karen replaced Angelina – who has recently become the new face of Louis Vuitton – after the ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ actress was deemed too big for the company.
St John’s chief executive Glenn McMahon previously said Angelina “overshadowed the brand”.

Elle MacPherson looks glam on the school run in a cream blazer and skinny jeans
Mandatory Credit: WENN.com
Today was a great day for spotting famous faces as we trawled through endless paparazzi pictures to find our readers the highlights.
The fashion pack were out in full force to drop off their kids at school, showing us that celebrities can be down to earth too – we spotted supermodel Elle MacPherson on her way back from the school run looking lithe and leggy in skinny jeans and a beautifully tailored cream blazer. My mum used to do the school run in jam-stained pyjamas…. I digress. We also spotted fashion superwoman Stella McCartney on the way back from dropping off her kids with her husband, looking fashionable and charming in his ‘n’ hers belted macs and jeans. A true fashion family.
Meanwhile, Miss Fearne Cotton was seen on her way into work at Radio One looking cool and immaculate in fawn-coloured chinos and chunky heels teamed with socks. Looking boyish and summery, she showed us exactly how to dress for March’s milder weather. We love. Also seen was Sienna Miller leaving the theatre last night after a long day’s acting looking kooky and cool in stonewashed jeggings, a sloppy man’s top and trainers. The high knotted bun that she wore her hair in set off the London girl-about-town look perfectly.
It was a good night for glamour over the pond last night at the NYC première for ”Mildred Pierce” – we spotted Kate Winslet looking sexy in a tight black little Stella McCartney number which we recognized as being hot off the catwalk – top fashion points for Miss Winslet. Also in attendance was the beautiful actress and on-off squeeze of Marilyn Manson, Evan Rachel Wood, who looked staggering in a wine-coloured dress slit up the thigh, with lipstick to match. Along with 1930s-style finger waves, this was an impeccable vintage look.
The top spot for celebrity sightings today has to be Taylor Swift being papped shopping in Portobello Market earlier today – the actress was spending some down time with friends looking at antiques and looking cute in men’s brogues and a blazer. It was a look that was pure Alexa – well, when in London, dress like a Londoner.

Kate Winslet thinks the public believe she is a “fat Viking”.
The 35-year-old actress – who is well known for defending her curvy figure – is often complimented on how good she looks, leading to her presuming people think of her as bigger than she is.
She said: “It seems to me I look very different from how people expect me to be.
“Clearly they think I’m a great big fat Viking. My body is different through nothing other than my being older. My clothes fit me the same way they’ve fitted me for the last five, six years. And of course I was a lot more voluptuous then.”
However, she admits she is less keen to talk about her body now because its “hypocritical”.
Kate added to Britain’s Vogue magazine: “I felt I had to defend my body and took a very public stand, which I still absolutely believe in. But I’ve stopped talking about it now. And, at a certain point, it does become hypocritical.”
Despite not wanting to talk about her figure, Kate’s face is becoming more important to her and she often notices how she is gaining wrinkles.
The ‘Revolutionary Road’ star explained: “I’m more aware of things like wrinkles on my face. They’re becoming much more pronounced, because that’s the muscle I use the most when acting. But it’s my face. So, whatever.”

Kate Winslet takes lysine to combat spots.
The 35-year-old actress confesses she deals with unsightly outbreaks on her face by taking the essential amino-acid, but has to maintain it otherwise the pimples return.
She said: “I get breakouts on my chin – it’s a f**ker. Lysine helps massively with the skin. I definitely advise it. But you have to take a lot of it.”
She also has to make sure to exercise, doing Pilates to help keep her trim figure in shape.
Kate told Britain’s Vogue magazine: “Well, I’m 35 now. I’ve got to keep it together. I mean f**k, it really does start to happen doesn’t it? I’ve been doing a bit of Pilates and some running. A little bit of this and that.
“A part of, I suppose, my way out of everything, has been really taking care of myself.”
The British beauty also confesses she is not a person who enjoys going out shopping, claiming she “hates” the idea.
She said: “I don’t go shopping. I’m not one of those people who can do a day’s shopping. I’ve never been like that. Never, ever, I can’t. I really hate it.”

There were a few trends at this year’s Oscar awards, notably blue, which was worn by Mariah Carey, Maggie Gyllenhaal and winner Mo’Nique.
Meryl Streep, Diane Kruger and Amanda Seyfried also flew the flag for white.
However, the biggest trend of the year has got to be metallics, which were worn by everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to Miley Cyrus. These shades came in pale golds, dark golds and also silvers, which were worn by Kate Winslet and Oscar winner and Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow.
We put together a gallery of the best metallic dresses.

Earlier today we set about predicting what Helen Mirren would be wearing for this year’s Oscars. Looking back at her previous trends, which screamed elegance and bared her trademark sheer sleeves we thought we’d definitely see these trends tonight. We also predicted she would be wearing Lacroix.
Well, we we’re right about the frock. Like fellow Brit Kate Winslet, Helen also opted for silver, but went for a straight dress, covered with a layer of organza and, yes, you guessed it beaded sheer sleeves.
However, we weren’t so bang on with the designer. Instead of Lacroix Helen opted for Badgley Mischka, a designer she is familiar with.
Well, we suppose one out of two isn’t bad is it?

We have to admit we were very impressed with the Oscar 2010 dresses, and for once in any awards event there were hardly any shockers.
However, we decided to whittle it down to six this year (and believe us it’s taken alot of time to decide) or we’d have to put nearly every attendee in.
So who made the list and why? First on the list is Brit newcomer (and Lauren’s fashion favourite) Carey Mulligan, who really stood out in a cutting edge Prada gown. However, she didn’t let the red carpet glamour swallow her style. Her dress was embellished with tiny metal keys and pairs of scissors.
And it seems the Brits are on a style roll because coming up a close second isKate Winslet.
We also have to include Sarah Jessica Parker who wore a rather unique Chanel Couture frock. Ladies be warned, the “neck strap” trend will be coming to a highstreet store near you very soon.
However it would be unfair to give a special mention to Sandra Bullock, who picked up the award for Best Actress for her role in Blind Side, and for once showed she really had style in a vintage fabric beaded long dress.
Coming up forth and fifth are Meryl Streep, who showed that just like her Devil wears Prada role, she really has a sense of style in a white cowl neck dress, and Demi more who wore an on-trend nude ruffled frock.
Do you agree with our decisions? Leave your comments below and let us know.

We’ve been so excited about some actresses dresses this year and have been guessing for a while what each one will be wearing. One such celeb that kept our curiosity buzzing was brit beauty Kate Winslet, who always pulls off great looks at events.
And she didn’t disappoint with her silverpanelled bodice and matching satin skirt. But it wasn’t just the outfit. The actress also shone (quite literally) with her blonde locks, which she left down.
Other A-listers to grace the carpet were Twighlight star Kristen Stewart, who actually made a huge effort in a black fishtail frock. However, even this wasn’t enough to put a smile on the sulky starlet’s face.
However, Diane Kruger, who wowed in Chanel Couture and Cameron Diaz were there with smiles.
View the gallery below to see more red carpet style.
