With shiny hair and light makeup, the Duchess always looks incredibly natural. Here are some tips and products to help you recreate Kate's look.
Kate Middleton is making the most of summer 2022. She's showcased a series of dreamy looks, but this time we'll focus on her beauty products and the secrets to achieving that healthy and revitalized appearance.
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, always looks elegant and relaxed. And if her recent appearance in white shorts didn't inspire you, her casual, almost imperceptible makeup certainly will.
It's a very well-thought-out style that can suit almost anyone. But what's the real secret behind this beauty look? And why do we love it so much?
We've analyzed Kate Middleton's makeup and styling in detail, and here are our thoughts. We've also included some technical tips to help you recreate her look:
How Kate Middleton Styles Her Hair
First of all, it's said that it's all thanks to her trusted hairstylist, Amanda Cook Tucker, who follows the princess around like a shadow to all her events and tours abroad.
But be aware that Tucker is 'only' the stylist, while to achieve that color, her trusted partner is Richard Ward, based in Chelsea. This has been her team of hair experts since 2012.
And what this duo achieves is leaving her hair soft and shiny, with light waves that look natural. Almost all of us would love to have hair like this: hair that never shows you've been to the salon, but simply looks like you achieved it with a good brush and a hairdryer.
This is undoubtedly one of Kate Middleton's secrets. How to replicate it? Richard Ward warns that 'it all looks very simple, but it takes at least 90 minutes to recreate an updo,' so don't make a mistake. A hairdresser is necessary, but so is consistent care with the right products.
Indeed, Kate Middleton's hair is very shiny, and hair treatments are part of her secret.
Kate Middleton's blush
A constant in Kate's look is blush. Her face always looks super natural and almost makeup-free, but what really makes the difference is a touch of pink blush on her cheeks that gives her a fresh and healthy appearance.
What the French call the 'bonne mine' effect. And how does she use it? She applies it (or rather, her team does) from the center of her cheek to her cheekbone. She doesn't apply it directly, but rather blends it softly. Simply elegant.
A touch of eyeliner
Just a touch of eyeliner and that's it. It's just to open up the eyes, without looking overdone. Easy to say, but can be difficult to execute. If you want to elevate it a bit more, you can add a touch of eyeshadow in natural tones to give it a subtle hint of depth.
Neutral lipstick, Kate Middleton style. The lipsticks worn by the future queen are always in pink tones or super neutral shades like caramel. On the other hand, red lipstick would be too bold and probably wouldn't fit with court protocol.
Always perfectly groomed eyebrows. Perfect. Quite geometric, but not sculpted. Kate definitely brushes and lightly reshapes her eyebrows, giving them form in strategic places with a pencil. And then she applies a setting gel that guarantees that flawless look from morning till night.
Additionally, after these 5 steps, you can add a setting spray to ensure everything stays put throughout the day and that you'll only need to touch up your lipstick if necessary.
