Cate Blanchett is one of my beauty and fashion icons. She always looks stunning on the red carpet, but in real life, she separates herself from Hollywood enough to keep it real. Here are some of her beauty secrets from this month’s More Magazine.
ACTRESS | INTERVIEW BY GENEVIEVE MONSMA
THE PERKS
OF A MORNING MASSAGE “There are so many good foundations and blushes, but
the best makeup tip I’ve learned is to massage the skin with a moisturizer
[before you apply your makeup] to get the blood flowing. The pros do this on
set, particularly if I am filming in the morning. This wakes up the face and
makes the skin appear fresher.”
LIP COLOR
SHE LOVES “I just finished filming a movie with Rooney Mara called Carol,
set in the 1950s, and I wore a red lip a lot—a look I’ve always liked.”
SKIN-CARE
DEVOTION “I believe the key to good skin is consistency. I do love
fashion, but not when it comes to skin care. I’ve been using the same brand,
SK-II, for 12 years now, long before I was its ambassador, and I believe
that’s made all the difference.”
IN-FLIGHT SKIN
SAVERS “I pack an SK-II Eye Mask and a Facial Treatment Mask. They are
hydrating and feed the skin. Of course, whether I can actually use them
depends on how many of my kids are with me.”
THE LOOK
SHE ADORED “I loved playing Bob Dylan [I’m Not There]. I wore no
makeup at all because men’s skin is more uneven, and part of looking masculine
was to let any imperfection be apparent.”
HAIR HIGH
POINT “I liked my hair best when it was short; it was so easy. But one of
my favorite styles ever was at last year’s Academy Awards [when my hair was
shoulder length]. I felt at ease. The style lasted but it wasn’t stiff.”
HAIR-CARE
MUST-HAVES “I use products from Philip Kingsley; one of my favorites is
the Elasticizer. Any chance I have in New York or London, I go to his clinic to
get a scalp treatment.”
ON
OVERTHINKING AGING “People do talk about aging and appearance an awful
lot. And it’s not just actresses who deal with this. The world is completely
obsessed with it. In some ways, it is just as difficult for a mother of two in
Milwaukee as it is for an actress. Perhaps [for actresses] there is more
scrutinizing—and we get commented on more. But I don’t read those things.
What’s the point? If my husband thinks I look good, that is what I care about.”
