The Princess of Wales, who, in all these years of intense media exposure, has never put a foot wrong. Always elegant, always perfect in her choice of looks, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton has become a point of reference, a true style icon because (as confirmed by sales) everything she wears sells out in no time. Long hair in warm shades, classic yet perfectly recognizable makeup, and style to spare: Kate Middleton has made everyone fall in love with her beauty looks. Here are some of the most beautiful.
Kate Middleton Makeup: The Secret to Her Success
Smooth yet natural skin, brown smokey eyes, eyeliner, plenty of mascara, and nude lips: this is the Princess's favorite makeup look! Divided between formal events and more informal public appearances, Kate manages to express her style in a sophisticated way without ever missing a beat. It seems Kate Middleton loves to do her own makeup, although we're sure she enlists help when it comes to her hair. Her long hair is often pulled back into intricate low buns with a twist. A signature hairstyle that the Princess of Wales often sports with success.
Kate Middleton Makeup: The Most Beautiful
From Kate Middleton's much-loved bridal makeup to the one she showed off at King Charles's coronation, let yourself be won over—once again!—by her style by continuing to read this article.
1. The Princess of Wales's Royal Makeup
At King Charles's coronation, Kate captured everyone's attention with a decidedly sophisticated updo complemented by a fabric tiara embellished with sparkling beads. Supporting her—it must be said!—regal look is a very intense eye makeup complemented by well-defined contouring. Her lips are also defined, this time more boldly than usual with a deep pink lip pencil.
2. Kate Middleton Bridal Makeup
Kate Middleton's bridal makeup is legendary. Made almost exclusively with Bobbi Brown products, it highlights her warm complexion, putting the spotlight on her eyes. Her beloved brown eyeshadow is delicately blended, while her eyes are lined with black pencil. The waterline is illuminated with a butter-colored eye pencil, the perfect way to soften wedding makeup and open up the eyes. To complete the beauty look of the then-future Princess of Wales, a touch of vibrant pink on the cheeks and a veil of pink gloss to brighten her smile. In a word? Iconic!
3. Clean face and intense eye makeup
At an official event in 2016, the Princess impressed us with a luminous and natural complexion: her skin appears almost completely makeup-free, revealing a flush from within. We really like the matte nude-pink lipstick—which looks a bit like Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk—and the cocoa-colored shimmer smokey eye.
4. Kate Middleton Color Harmony
Color harmony has been a hot topic lately, and many people want to know which season the Princess of Wales belongs to. Well, Kate Middleton is a Spring! Warm, bright colors suit her very well. That's why peach makeup, caramel highlights, and dresses in bright colors, like tomato red, are so flattering. This look is proof!
5. Kate Middleton's Colorful Makeup
During an official visit to Belize, Jamaica, and the Bahamas in March 2022, Kate sported a simple green eyeliner that perfectly complemented her tulle dress. The pairing with bronzer and extra-shiny gloss is beautiful.
6. Kate Middleton au naturel
Without makeup—or almost—smiling and radiant. We like the Princess like this too. Here she is in September 2020 with her long, loose brown hair, illuminated by subtle highlights along the lengths. Her face appears satiny, as if evened out by a light, tinted moisturizer.
7. The Duchess's glam makeup at the No Time to Die premiere
In 2021, at the premiere of the latest film in the 007 series, the then-Duchess of Cambridge enchanted everyone with a decidedly sparkling look. Her bronze-toned makeup was satiny and luxurious. The key details: fanned false lashes and luminous gloss. Wow!
8. Kate Middleton: the super chic mauve makeup
The mauve eyeshadow is blended across the entire lid and frames the Princess's gaze, thanks also to the essential duo of eyeliner and black mascara. Two other details we love about this beauty look Kate showed off at the 2021 Earthshot Prize: the slightly bushy eyebrows combed upward and the subtle shades of warm color that glide across her wavy hair.
9. Kate Middleton's intense green eye makeup at Royal Ascot 2022
The Princess of Wales's green eyes are highlighted by a chocolate brown smokey eye, complemented by a warm caramel shade in the crease. The finishing touch? Matte coral lipstick with a stain effect.
10. Kate Middleton: Princess Eugenie's wedding makeup
In 2018, at Princess Eugenie of York's wedding, Kate showed off her signature makeup look with deep brown smokey eyes and nude lips. The most striking look, undoubtedly, is her vintage-style twist hairstyle. Extremely elegant!
