Not only we spot Cate Blanchett looking absolutely stunning on the recent Oscars red carpet donning a Armani Prive feather and crystal trim dress, she was also looking radiantly beautiful. We went behind the scene with Cate’s makeup artist, Jeanine Lobell on how she prep Cate for the big day.

Cate has been using SK-II for 15 years and we all know she cannot live without SK-II Facial Treatment Essence.

“For many years I have spoken about the profound effect that this ‘miracle water’ has had on my skin. Having used SK-II Facial Treatment Essence for 15 years I can confidently say it has not only transformed my complexion, but quite possibly changed the destiny of my skin as well” 

The next step to ensure Cate’s skin was looking its best was the NEW SK-II Facial Treatment Oil that offers immediate and intense moisturisation thanks to the naturally-derived oils mixed with SK-II’s signature ingredient, Pitera.

“It is one of the most hydrating products I’ve ever used. Just a few drops keep my skin dewy and hydrated and one can make-up over it immediately.”

Cate’s first introduction to the SK-II brand was through its whitening range and her use of the product has continued to evolve as the products do to keep her skin radiant.

“I try and stay out of the direct sun in summer but one does need Vitamin D! I tend to make my summer skincare regimen lighter with a few, but very effective products. The SK-II GenOptics Aura Essence especially, I find, leaves my skin feeling moisturized and gives it great luminosity”

Since it launched in 2015, Cate’s trusted make-up artist Jeanine Lobell, has been using SK-II R.N.A moisturiser, SK-II’s most revolutionary anti-aging series to date for youthful, firm skin to ensure Cate’s skin was best prepared for make-up.

According to Jeanine, when it was time to apply foundation, she mixed in a few drops of the new Facial Treatment Oil which instantly hydrated Cate’s skin, creating a dewy glow. She also added that having a good base for makeup application is the key to a beautiful final makeup look.”

Just before Cate left for the red carpet, Jeanine ensured Cate’s make-up look was set and her skin deeply hydrated with the SK-II Mid-Day Miracle Essence that lets you take Pitera on the go to refresh skin wherever you are.

“I applied the Mid-Day Miracle Essence over the makeup to keep it looking dewy and glowing,” said Jeanine. “It’s my absolute must-have because it prevents makeup from caking. It’s the perfect final step for the red carpet.”

Hope you enjoyed this little piece of news sharing on Cate Blanchett’s secret to red carpet ready.
