Paparazzi pics can be unforgiving – no, I haven't experienced this first-hand (yet... wink, nudge) but it's a given that these photographers have one job: to sell celebrity photos to the media. It's me, hi, I'm the media, it's me. Kate Winslet, however, is clearly unphased by all angles that one could approach her – and she just proved that with her most recent red-carpet appearance.
Earlier this week, Kate attended the Munich Film Festival 2024 where she received the CineMerit Award for her life's work in the industry. Now, as impressive as this is, what equally had us in admiration of the star was how incredible her natural skin texture looked beneath the beaming lights and pap camera flashes.
Impressive, much?
Well, some may argue that the appearance of her pores and fine lines counteract my statement that her skin texture is 'impressive' but to that, I simply say: THIS IS NORMAL! We're talking real-life human skin, people, sans-social media filters and airbrushing... and we love to see it.
But aside from how flawless Kate's skin really is, we're also all for her glowy makeup look, created by the one and only Lisa Eldridge. The MUA took to Instagram to share the details behind Kate's glam:
And with that, you best believe we'll be stocking up on the Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint. After all, this product (tried and tested, guys!) is ideal for those in need of hydration. Read more about it, here.
Here's to good skin and even better pores and fine lines! Chin chin!
