Oscars Makeup & Hair: Get Kate Winslet's Gorgeous Look

We thought Kate Winslet looked beautiful in a multi-toned one shoulder YSL dress. And her classic hair and makeup made the look. Leave it to celebrity makeup artist (and Kate favorite) Jillian Dempsey to create the perfect natural face - it added sparkle to Kate's eyes and rosiness to her cheeks. Kate prefers the natural look on the red carpet, as she said when we interviewed her: ""The last thing I want is to be having a conversation with Penelope Cruz for her to be thinking 'Oh, my God! Kate is caked!"

First, Dempsey prepped Kate's skin with Lancôme La Base Pro primer to create a smooth canvas for a polished complexion. She lightly brushed Lancôme Brow Expert in Naturel on the brows to play up their natural shape. Jillian Dempsey for Avon Pro Eyeshadow Trio in Ice Shimmer was applied to the eyes and the lashes were coated with Jillian Dempsey for Avon Pro Mascara in Black. To create a sheer, neutral colored lip, Lancôme Color Fever Lipstick in Old Flame was applied for a soft, matte finish.

Winslet's hair was styled by Frederic Fekkai's Renato Campora, who strove to transform the actress into a modern day Grace Kelly, with a 'do that compliments her total look and silhouette with a wavy texture with a dynamic shape. He applied Fekkai More All Day Density Styling Whip on wet hair. Next, he blew-dry the hair smooth with Fekkai Extra Large Round Brush to create volume. He made waves with a one inch curling iron and let it set for 20 minutes, and brushed it through. He used Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra Light Finishing Crème at the ends to help roll hair under, and finished with Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray.
