Kate Winslet looked simply radiant at the Oscars Sunday night in her mint green Valentino gown.

I loved her dress, her jewels and her gorgeous and classic hair. Last night I spoke with hairstylist Campbell McAuley, about how he created Kate's old Hollywood style sweeping soft waves secured in a low side chignon. He said,

"Because Kate's dress was lovely and simple, the hair was styled the same way to create an elegant look."

Campbell explained it is crucial to apply a smoothing product when the hair is wet. He used Smooth Hair, $17.50, when the hair is wet. This adds shine and prevents frizz.
Begin by blow drying hair straight. Next, when Campbell was ready to begin styling, he used a medium sized curling iron around the front of her face for volume. Try Enzo Milano's 25 mm Grande Curling Iron, $129.95.
Then, brush out the hair completely until it's smooth and put it in a side ponytail. Then run a nickel sized amount of Technician Color-Protecting Glaze, $20, into the palms of your hands and apply it all over the hair to add even more shine!
Next, add a little extra hair (either a weave or extensions) to the ponytail so that it's fuller and thicker and then shape it into a side knot and secure it with bobby pins.
Lastly, mist hair all over with a light hairspray for hold.

On Sunday night, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl-that's high-gull, not high-gel -won her first Emmy. Not only did she look uber-glamorous in her long gown and red lips but her hair (styled by the talented Campbell McAuley who used Frederic Fekkai’s new Coiff products) was timeless and perfect. Speaking of timeless and perfect, did you get a look at her complexion? Wow.

Lucky for me, I made some fab new friends on my Parisian trip to Chanel and now I've got the inside info on the products used to create Katherine's red carpet look.

Face: Monika began by applying Chanel Vitallumière Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup SPF 15 in Shell on Katherine's face. Then, she applied a touch of Pro Lumière Professional Finish Concealer in Light under her eyes and to any red areas and then she finished by dusting some Soft Touch Pressed Powder in Pêche Tendre over her entire face.
Cheeks: To add a touch of color to the perfect canvas, Monika swept one stroke of Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Narcisse and another stroke of Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Nude onto Katherine's cheeks.
Eyes: Next, Monika applied a little bit of Fluid Iridescent Eye Shadow in Sand and Silky Eyeshadow Duo in Dessert Rose to her lids, blending well. Then, she lined Katherine's eyes with Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Ebène (only on the top) and finally topped her top lashes with Inimitable Mascara in Noir and her bottom lashes with Inimitable Mascara in Bronze.
Lips: To make Katherine's lips really pop, Monika lined them first with Precision Lip Definer in Red and then filled them in with Rouge Allure Satin Finish Lipstick in Lover. Here's a tip for you: Monika used a little bit of Pro Lumière Concealer as a reverse lip liner to perfect the red lip and then powdered between coats to provide staying power.
