To give Kate a perfectly pale, 
upper-class
complexion, Tina used 
a foundation with a dewy
finish. "The secret is powdering
 it in, so you get 
that lovely porcelain look,"
 she says.
Then she blended just a little bit
 of cream
blush onto Kate's cheeks and chin,
 as well
at her brow bone.

"They didn't really use
mascara in those days;
they used kohl on their eyes.
So we tried to replicate the
period feel,"says Tina
"I used a kohl around Kate's eyes,
so when she cried it ran and it
looked authentic." Tina also
applied a pale-pink powder to
Kate's lids to emphasize her blue
eyes. To give her lashes a glossy
finish, Tina used The Body Shop
Brow & Lash Gel in clear.
For Kate's daytime lip look, Tina
combined two pencils to get a coral
color, which she then topped with a gloss.
For the evening scenes, she used
a combination of darker
pencils and a touch of gloss
to achieve a ruch plum shade.

Kate Winslet makes waves with 
a look that's as
winning as her performance.
Here's how she got so gorgeous.

Keeping Kate Winslet looking 
lovely wasn't your average
work day for London-based 
makeup artist Tina Earnshaw.
"I was in the water with Kate 
nearly the whole time,"
says Tina, who wore a wet suit
 and stored her cosmetics
and tools in a floating plastic box.
 Working outdoors
under the strong Mexico sun posed 
another challenge:
Despite plenty of sunblock, Kate 
developed a golden 
tan that had to be covered with 
pale body makeup for 
her nude scene with Leonardo DiCaprio.
 Still Tina was
determined to create an authentic 
turn-of-the-century
beauty. "Kate had to look glamorous.
She was a society girl"

A natural brunette, Kate
loved going red for the movie,
says Los-Angeles-based stylist
Campbell McAuley, who cuts her hair.
Titanic hair-stylist Kay Georgui
touched up the roots every few weeks.
Kate also wore extensions to give her
fine locks more length and volume.
The end result: a beautiful Rose.
"Kate loved the look," says Tina.
"She couldn't get enough of it.
She adored lookin flawless."
