SOOOO wedding season is fast approaching, and i am excited and available for all your bridal makeup needs. But.......would you dare to do as the new dutches of camberidge did and do your own makeup for your wedding? Lets have a look a Princess Cathrine's look.
Kate did a lovely balance of drama and understatement. she want soft in terms of color, allowing her gown to shine, and because it was a daytime wedding, but it was after all her wedding and a royal one at that and that calls for a little more glamour than her regular look.
Her foundation is even, matte and simple. In fact she doesn't look like she's wearing much foundation, and probably only put some on toruble areas., setting it with powder.
Kate's eyebrows are bold and well defined, very well groomed.
Her eyes are a soft smokey eye look. To get her look, apply a neutral light catching shade all over the eye. then using a blending brush or your fingers apply a sheer wash of medium reddish brown into the crease, blening outwars and upwards towards the outer corners.
tTke a well sharpened and creamy black eye pencil and apply a thin line as close to the lash line as you can get, the use a smudger or q-tip to smudge the line a bit especially towards the outer edge. now line the lower lashline thinly connecting the top and bottom lines at the corners. Use a q-tip to remove the excess from the bottom and thin the line out.
Take a rosey pink blush and apply JUUUUUUst a little on the cheeks sweeping back towards the ears. stop applying as soon as the color starts to show.
Kate's lips are a nude neutral. Use a lipstain just a bit darker than your natural color, and top with a clear gloss.
Add an art deco Diamond Cartier tiara borrowed from the queen and you're all set.
if this sounds too intimidating, i'd be happy to do it for you.:-)
