The royal duchess is known for doing her own makeup. Her classy, effortless style has earned the admiration of fans around the world. What sets her cosmetic sensibility apart is its simplicity which makes it accessible to the average woman while the princess still maintains her elegance. This is how beauty experts dissect her glam.

Kate Middleton’s Natural Look: Neutral Shade Lip Color That Compliments Your Skin Tone

No matter what the wardrobe, Kate Middleton is more often than not seen sporting subtle shades of pink.  Even for special occasions and in party gowns, she can be seen reaching for the minimal look rather than going for bold, eye-popping colors. She tends to choose a subtle shade of pink that complements her skin tone perfectly without standing out from the rest of her face. It gives her lips a plumper look and adds brightness to her face.

Sarah Fogg gives the following advice for people who look up to the natural beauty of the Princess of Wales: “When choosing the right lipstick for you, it is important to ensure that it stands out against the rest of your skin as the contrast is what creates the added depth to your look. If your lip product blends in, it can make you look tired and even age you.” 

Neatly Groomed Eyebrows With A Natural Arch

For beauty artists and fans alike, Kate’s defined, well-groomed eyebrows are admittedly the highlight of the duchess’s looks. Her defined brows have been the subject of speculation by professional makeup artists, according to whom her brows seem to have undergone eyebrow lamination treatment. With minimal makeup and seemingly natural, Kate’s eyebrows still look full and thick, with a natural arch to it. Sarah Amelia Fogg, the owner of brow brand Brows By Sarah, noted that Kate’s eyebrows “are her best feature.” 

“The best thing about brow lamination is how natural it looks. I always recommend sticking with a natural-looking brow shape as these tend to be the most flattering,” Sarah remarks, adding that she also sees a subtle ombre effect across Kate’s brows as the bulbs are much more pigmented than the tails.

Kate also always keeps her eye makeup minimal. All you might need to emulate her eyes would be a black eyeliner pencil and a thick smudge brush. 

Blush Color That Compliments Your Lip Color

Kate never goes without a blusher – it highlights her killer cheekbones and gives her a soft, rosy glow. But she opts for a color that matches her lip color. This helps give the face a blended look without any of the colors standing out. The Duchess is always seen sticking to a subtle pink or peachy shade matching her neutral lip color

“If Kate was to opt for an orange blush or a bronzer instead, it would create more of a contrast and this would make Kate’s pink lips stand out more. This may be the main reason for using a pink blusher,” Sarah observes.

Professional makeup artist Danielle Gilbert has the following advice for those trying to achieve the princess’s natural look: 

“Apply highlighter to the higher points of the cheekbones, temples, edges of the forehead, both sides of the nose and bridge, jawline, and chin area. This leaves a sun-kissed, dewy glow.”

“Reach for a cream or liquid blush such as Nars or Glossier Cloud Paint to pat across the cheeks and bridge of the nose for a natural, flushed-from-within glow,” she adds.

And you are done! Now you’re all set to step out in the royal, Kate-style elegance!
