Princess Kate, formally known as Catherine, Duchess of Wales, has made non-stop headlines in the beauty world since her engagement announcement last November. Her traditional, classic beauty is such a breath of fresh air in this current climate of flamboyant, overly revealing, look-at-me screaming pop stars.
Follow these simple steps to replicate Kate’s lovely beauty look:
Make-Up:
Face – Clear, fresh skin will always be in style. Make sure you find a good skin care regimen that works for your skin type, and stick with it! Always moisturize at morning and at night, and never go to bed with your make up on. Try to use a sheer liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer and follow with a loose powder in order to let your real skin shine through. Use a light pink blush to accent your cheekbones.
Eyes – Use a neutral brown, gray or taupe eyeshadow to accent your eyes. A bold eyeliner will make your eye stand out; slightly extend the liner at the outer corner of your eyes to create an illusion of wider, brighter eyes. Follow with a great mascara and you’ll have a lovely feminine effect.
Lips – Use a pale pink or neutral lip color and follow with a neutral lip gloss. This works especially to your advantage if you have smaller lips, because using a bold lip color can sometimes make your lips look even smaller.
Hair:
Condition – Use a hair treatment mask or a deep condition about once a week to keep your locks smooth and glossy, and to prevent fly aways. After showering, apply a straightening cream or anti-breakage gloss to your hair while it is still damp.
Dry – Use a round brush while blow drying to add maximum volume. Wrap the ends of your hair around the brush to create curl and lift.
Curl – Use a large barreled curling iron to create lifts and twists in the ends of your hair.
Best wishes to you in all of your beauty endeavors!
