(Cover) - EN Star Style - Gwyneth Paltrows secret to looking Oscar red-carpet ready is a barely-there sunkissed tan.

The American actress is renowned for her easy glamour and fresh-faced appearance, which is always perfectly set off by her shining blonde tresses, and youthful glow.

Make-up artist Leslie Lopez has revealed Gwyneths glowing Academy Awards look last night was down to a subtle tan which left the actress skin looking radiant. The beauty expert says the barely-there sunkissed look was down to clever use of St. Tropez fake tan products which really complimented her gorgeous gold gown.

I applied the St. Tropez Wash Off Mousse to her body and face to give her a sun kissed glow. For the ultimate glamorous sheen, I added the St. Tropez Gold Skin Illuminator down her arms, legs, cheek bones, chest and shoulders, which really helped to complement her gold Calvin Klein gown, she told Elleuk.com.

Gwyneth took advantage of the St. Tropez skin finishing service before the Oscars ceremony last night, it has been reported. St. Tropez artists were on hand to offer the stars a variety of St. Tropez customised treatments. (C) Cover Media
