In just a span of three years, Kate Hudson has become a household name in the entertainment industry. Her undeniable talent, positive attitude and strong work ethic have led her to success, from being an indie actress to gracing the cover of Vanity Fair. From a young age, Kate showed a natural inclination towards performing, singing and dancing at every opportunity. Although her family hoped she would pursue higher education at New York University after finishing high school, Kate decided to dive headfirst into acting. Her first big-screen appearance was in Desert Blue (1998), followed by 200 Cigarettes (1999) and Gossip (2000). It was her portrayal of rock groupie Penny Lane in Almost Famous that catapulted her to fame. The role was initially meant for Sarah Polley, but when Polley turned it down, Kate begged for a chance to audition. She got the part and even earned a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Kate’s impressive filmography includes Raising Helen, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Bride Wars, Mother’s Day, Nine, Marshall, The Skeleton Key, You, Me and Dupree, Fool’s Gold, Deepwater Horizon, among others.
Melanie Inglessis, a makeup artist, shares her thoughts on the appearance, describing it as effortless, stylish, and alluring – very reminiscent of Kate’s signature look.
To kickstart your makeup routine, begin by creating a flawless and radiant base. Add a touch of warmth to your complexion with a sun-kissed bronzer that highlights your natural glow. My go-to product for achieving this look is the Almay Smart Shade Mousse Makeup in Light Medium which retails at $14. Once you have perfected your base, it’s time to move onto the next step – lining your eyes.
I opted for a casual approach and lightly traced her eyes with a kohl pencil, not worrying too much about being perfect. To add some dimension, I applied more pressure on the outer corner of her eyes. For this look, I recommend using Almay Intense i-Color Defining Liner in Onyx for Brown Eyes, which costs only $7. As for the lips, I went for a subtle touch and used a nude lip gloss that I gently tapped onto her pout with my ring finger, achieving a very natural appearance.
David Babaii, who has been Kate Hudson’s hairstylist and close friend for over 12 years, was responsible for creating her stunning hairdo. According to him, the focus was on showcasing what he calls the “Kate Hudson Look” – a style that highlights her lustrous and healthy hair. David views Kate as a contemporary version of Brigitte Bardot, with soft, voluminous hair that exudes glamour and sensuality. He considers her signature look to be a timeless classic that women of all ages can aspire to. To achieve the desired effect, David used his fingers to comb through Kate’s hair, allowing it to fall naturally into place. He finished the look by using hairspray to give the hair a soft and silky texture that is both touchable and flattering.
