8 commandments of beauty from Princess Diana
To achieve that look worthy of royalty
Princess Diana had the eyes of the whole world on her. According to her makeup artist, Mary Greenwell, she "perceived the power of hair and makeup, and that is something that should never be underestimated by anyone."
Do you want to know the secrets of the skin and makeup of the eternal princess?
1- Follow a proper skin care routine
The princess had a daily skincare routine, which included cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and applying serums / SPF.
2- get enough sleep
"Lack of sleep makes the skin appear pale and tired because circulation has been impaired," explains beautician Renée Rouleau. So it's no surprise that the princess used good sleep as a beauty practice.
3- Moderation, always
Anything in excess is bad, be it drinking, smoking or eating fat. "After I started working with her, Diana did everything in moderation," says Greenwell.
4- Have your makeup on hand
The princess had her makeup on hand, which she wore on several occasions. Diana's version was based on moisturizer, foundation, eye area corrector, mascara, and lipstick, matching Lady Di's mood of the day!
True, there are photos where the princess is wearing blue eyeliner, but that happened before Greenwell entered her life. According to the makeup artist, using eyeliner the color of your eyes takes away the highlight.
6- Apply the mascara from the roots up
To ensure that the entire lash extension was covered by the mascara, the suggestion Greenwell always gave Diana was to apply it from the roots up.
7- Never go out without perfume
According to the makeup artist, Lady Di never went without fragrance. "It's kind of a finishing touch of beauty, coming out smelling divine, elegant and individual."
8- Take risks with your hair
In 1990, on set with Patrick Demarchelier, Lady Di asked hairdresser Sam McKnight to cut her hair. It was a big contrast compared to the bulky and long visual of the 80s, but it became her trademark. It is as we imagine it until today.
