Celeb Beauty: Kate Hudson's hair and makeup is always perfect.

Have you always wondered how Kate Hudson gets her wavy hair so perfectly coifed and her skin to glow so beautifully? Well, I have. Finally I got the answer in this month's InStyle magazine and I'm going to share her secrets with you.

To get great waves just like Kate Hudson has here at the 2005 Academy Awards in a Roberto Cavalli metallic gown, she goes to the celeb hairstylist Harry Josh. Here are the three steps he uses to give actresses like Kate, Hilary Swank and Gisele Bundchem great hair.

1. Prep: Apply mousse to damp hair and distribute with a paddle brush.
   For natural curls, blow-dry using boar bristle brush and twist hair into a bun. Leave it in for 2 hours to eliminate frizz.
   Recommened product: Suave Voluminizing Foam, $2.29.


2. Curl: Curl you hair with a 3/4-1'' curling iron. Don't clamp iron on the ends and roll towards your scalp. Instead, start near the root and wind you hair around the iron and away from your face. Hold for 5 seconds only. Pull out thr rod to loosen up your waves.
   
   Recommended Product: Gold N' Hot curling iron, $30


3. Finish: For separation add a small dab of shine serum on each curl.
   Recommended product: Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine

Wow! That seems so easy, let me know if it works for you.

Next, to get Kate Hudson's great glowing skin, makeup artist Leslie Lopez uses these steps on the actress:

1. Apply Diane von Furstenberg Beauty Highlighting Eclipstick Stick in Sun on brow bones and cheeks. For cheeks, lightly rub a small circle directly on each cheekbone.


2. Use Stila All Over Shimmer Eyes No. 8 on eyelids, smoothing from lids to the creases.


3. Set the shadow with Stila All Over Shimmer Eyes No. 2, which is a gold powder.

Shown above, next to Kate Hudson, is a beautiful Samantha Treacy Daisy Dress. It may not be a perfect match of her dress, but it delivers the great metallic trend in an style that is a bit easier to pull-off for all body-types.
