Here's how to get Kate's natural, radiant look

Britain's own Kate Winslet began acting as a child, but it wasn't until her appearance in the blockbuster Titanic that her down-to-earth beauty became famous. With her large eyes and full lips, Kate is a make-up artist's dream - you can't go wrong with this kind of symmetry. Kate accentuates her lovely eyes and allows her radiant skin to shine. To get Kate's look, follow the expert advice of New York City make-up artist Deborah Grayson:

Black eyelinerPearly blue translucent eyeshadowBlack eyeshadow powderBrown mascaraConcealer mixed with moisturiserRouge gel blusherLiquid foundationBrick-coral lip pencil and burgundy lipglossSTEP 1 Begin with the eyes. Apply black liner on the upper lid; carefully wet a pointed brush then turn it in your pot of liner. The wetter your brush, the more translucent your line will be. Kate goes for an opaque, black line. Follow your upper lash line to the end, then stop the line at the end. If you go too far, dip a cotton bud in eye make-up remover and gently dab off the end.

STEP 2 Apply a pearly blue, translucent shadow to the lid with a wide, fluffy brush. Reapply the shadow on the outer segment of the lid up to the brow. (Press the brush into the outer corner of the lid.) You could even apply a third coat. This will give more dimension and colour to the outer colour of the eye. Using a black eye shadow powder, go over the line above your lashes to set it. Curl lashes and apply several coats of mascara to the upper lashes and one coat to the lower lashes.

STEP 3 If you like darker, fuller-looking brows, clean off a brown mascara brush on a tissue, then with the residue brush up your brows with the wand. This will push brow hair up and add a touch of colour.

STEP 4 Use a concealer just underneath and on the inner corners of your eyes. You may want to mix it with moisturiser to keep it very light. Apply a very lightweight foundation all over the face. Dot a rouge gel stick on cheekbones and blend in light, smooth strokes, using your fingers or a sponge. (If it's too bright, apply a drop of liquid foundation to diffuse the colour.)

STEP 5 Apply a brick-coral lip pencil inside the lines of the lips. Top with a burgundy or ruby-toned lipgloss.
