Kate Moss has one of those faces I never tire of seeing. Whether she's posing moodily [1] or doing the sexy-schlubby thing [2], she always looks intriguing.
So while I may not have Kate's features (nor, thank goodness, the drama of her personal life), I don't mind stealing some of her makeup secrets. Kate, a spokesperson for Rimmel London, wears the brand's Soft Kohl Kajal [3] eye pencil, lip gloss in East End Snob [4] and Lasting Finish Foundation [5].

Makeup artist Jo Strettell shares a few ideas for creating a Kate-inspired look:
- Go light on the foundation. “For nude makeup looks for all types of skin color, the procedure is the same for fair, medium/olive and dark skins," Jo says. "It's the shades and colors that will vary." Use a sheer foundation to even out your complexion, and sparingly use concealer to cover problem areas. Use a powder puff to reduce shine if necessary, but don't overdo it — the idea is for your skin to look like, well, skin.
- Get a natural lip look. "Lips should be subtly lined with a lip-matching pencil and a little flesh-toned lip gloss," Jo says.
- Curl your lashes. After curling them, apply one or two coats of mascara. If you're very fair-skinned, try brown mascara; otherwise, black is the way to go.
- Go for the gold. Line your top and bottom lashline with black eyeliner to make them stand out. "Add a eyeful of kohl pencil with a metallic sheen to sex it up," Jo says. She recommends the Spark it Up! Kohl eye liners, which have slight metallic undertones.
