Kate Winslet likes 'understated' glamour

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet says glamour is all about being ''understated'' as she thinks less is more.

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."
