Taking a break from her acting duties, the British beauty hosted a press conference held by Swiss luxury watchmaker Longines in Shanghai. Kate is currently the company’s Ambassador of Elegance.

Meanwhile, Kate has collaborated with experts at make-up giant Lancôme to create a special cosmetics collection for charity.

The Oscar-winning actress, who is a spokesmodel for the brand, has worked closely with the company to come up with a range of lipsticks, blushers and nail polishes for its 2011 winter range.

Lancôme bosses have promised to donate $200,000 of profits raised from sales to The Golden Hat Foundation, a non-profit organization set up by the Titanic star last year to raise awareness of autism.

Kate says, “Lancôme’s instant offer of support was a huge display of confidence and generosity. I knew it would open many doors.”

The range will be on sale until December.
