Kate Hudson Doesn’t Ever Feel ‘Red Carpet Ready’

Everything about Kate Hudson‘s look is enviable: her pretty eyes, her flawless figure, that shiny hair. But as it turns out, much of her beauty routine is based around a $37 jar of cream.

“I try to use natural products,” Hudson, the latest face of Almay (seen here in a behind-the-scenes shot from her Smart Shade Perfect & Correct Primer campaign), tells PEOPLE. “Sometimes I’ll just put Egyptian Magic on my face. I use it for everything.” In fact, the gentle cream — made of olive oil, beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly and propolis extract — is the key to her ocean-kissed locks, too.

“This is going to sound crazy,” she says, “but I literally put Egyptian Magic in my hair. When it’s damp, I’ll scrunch some of it in my hair and let it dry.”

Growing up with mom Goldie Hawn in charge, Hudson says she had lots of freedom with her hair, makeup and clothing choices. “I came out pretty much putting on whatever I wanted,” she shares. “I think I was more vocal than my mom about style than she was with me about style.”

We thought Kate Hudson was already pretty busy — she has two young sons, a jewelry line and an endorsement deal with Almay — but the actress is adding another bullet point to her résumé now as the new face of Ann Taylor.

Joining stars like Demi Moore, Heidi Klum, Katie Holmes and Naomi Watts, Hudson was tapped to continue the company’s focus on “celebrating modern women of substance, style and success across every generation,” according to a release.

“I am thrilled to collaborate with Ann Taylor this spring,” adds Hudson. “I love fashion, and their new spring collection is so stylish and hip and colorful!” Often noted for her boho-chic style, Hudson says that as a young girl she “looked up to the sophisticated style of Ann Taylor, so it’s been very cool to see how the brand has evolved to meet the changing needs of modern women.”

Kate Hudson Goes Brunette

She’s wigging out! After taking some time off to bond with her family — including son Ryder, baby Bing and fiancé Matthew Bellamy — Kate Hudson surfaced in New York City on Tuesday sporting a new hair hue.

The actress, seen on the set of her latest film, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, was wearing a curly brunette wig — quite a change from her typical straight blonde locks. But naturally, she made the faux hair look pretty fabulous. Between takes, the mom grabbed snacks with Ryder, and visited with Bellamy. Tell us: What do you think of Hudson’s latest look?

Kate Hudson’s Mom Inspired Her Jewelry Line

Kate Hudson remembers admiring an heirloom choker belonging to her mother, Goldie Hawn. “It was one of the first pieces I ever remember my mother wearing,” she tells ELLE, “and it was like, Wow, I hope one day I get to wear jewelry like that.”

In fact she did — Hawn gave Hudson the choker on her 21st birthday — but the piece meant even more: it inspired Hudson’s new jewelry collaboration, CH+KH, a capsule collection for Los Angeles-based jeweler Chrome Hearts. The brand’s co-owner, Laurie Lynn Stark, happens to be one of the actress’s closest friends, so Hudson says working with her was only natural. “It occurred to us, we spend all of this time together — why don’t we make something?” she says.

The result? A line of 18- and 22-karat gold rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings set with white diamonds, fresh water pearls, green tourmaline, peridot, citrine and aquamarine gemstones. Many of the pieces — more delicate than Chrome Hearts’s heavier gems — reference 1970s vintage pieces that Hudson collects. But they also reflect the tastes of the actress-turned-designer, too.

Kate Hudson’s ‘Something Borrowed’ Premiere Jewels: Self-Designed!

Kate Hudson certainly wasn’t wearing anything borrowed at the Something Borrowed premiere in Los Angeles Tuesday night. Not only did she glow in a yellow Versace gown (accented by that gorgeous engagement ring), but she wore jewelry she designed herself! The actress hit the red carpet flaunting an aquamarine ring and matching earrings she created as part of her new collaboration with Chrome Hearts, a capsule collection called CH + KH. Featuring rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings, the line includes 18- and 22-karat gold pieces set with white diamonds, fresh water pearls, green tourmaline, peridot, citrine and aquamarine gemstones, according to WWD. Hudson, the first celebrity to work for the line, is friends with Chrome Hearts co-founder Laurie Lynn Stark, and reportedly drew her design inspiration from their vacations together. The jewels will hit Chrome Hearts stores later this summer. Tell us: What do you think of the gems?
