Mornin’ y’all! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Although I never really jumped on the Royal Wedding bandwagon, I do think it’s totally worth blogging that Kate looked beautiful! One of my favorite parts of her look was her make-up. It was soft and understated, just the way a bride is supposed to look on her big day, if you want my opinion.
I love that she still looked like herself and that the make-up didn’t overshadow her dress, hair or smile. I’d love to recreate this look on my wedding day in September, so I’ve been scouring the web for tips on ways to replicate a “Kate face”.
Of her look, Vogue UK said:
“She created a soft, smoky eye, and enhanced the apples of her cheeks with a pink blush color. Her lips were understated, with a lick of soft pink to match the color gracing her cheeks.”
I found these items on Sephora that are sure to do the trick!

| 1. Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush 2. Too-Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer 3. Sephora Eye Collection Beauty in a Box Smoky Eyes Palette 4. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black 5. Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss in Happiness |
If you’re like me and struggle with doing a smoky eye, check out this helpful tutorial. Also, remember that if you are going to try this look for a big event, practice it a few times at home first!
What did you think of Kate’s make-up on Friday? Royally perfect?
Be blessed, lovelies-
So pretty gorgeous and perfect for a wedding!
ReplyDeleteShe looked like an angel. Just perfection.
ReplyDeleteNow off to try looking like a Princess....
She looked gorgeous, and she did it herself! That blush is gorgeous! You'll love it, I got it a few weeks ago and it is all I have been using!
ReplyDeleteKate looked so perfect and I absolutely love the fact that she did her own makeup! I also recently got the Tarte Amazonian blush and LOVE it!

Great post! I loved her makeup too - and I heard she did it herself! She is gorg.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I, too, dug her makeup! I agree about brides being "pretty" instead of "glam." I mean, you're automatically glam.. it's your wedding! No need to go all crazy with the makeup. Let the real YOU shine through!
ReplyDeleteI love that her makeup was so natural - not overdone at all. Kate is so naturally beautiful and her makeup really enhanced it! Love this :)
ReplyDeleteLeslie,
ReplyDeleteFound you on another blogger's blog (!!) listed as a fave...
I heard she did her own makeup. True?

I think Kate looked absolutely stunning on her big day and I'm sure you will as well! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I thought she looked stunning!
ReplyDeleteI too thought she looked beautiful!! Her make-up was fab and I did love the fact she did it herself. The ONLY criticism I have is that her eyeliner underneath was slightly too harsh- it needed to be softened a bit more (I do wedding make-up as a part time job BTW, not just criticising from an amateur point of view!!). Those colours she chose would look gorgeous on you- the smoky eye is always popular with brides, looks great in pics and carries from day to night xxx
ReplyDeleteI thought she looked so beautiful and very natural! I really dont like for brides to not look like themselves on their weeding day. I think she did a great job making sure she looked like herself!! Good luck on recreating her look! I like itll look great on you!!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and absolutely love it!!! Great tips..she looked so beautiful

I agree, PERFECT for a wedding day, especially one like hers! hey btw...did she really do her own makeup?? that's what I've been hearing! wow!
ReplyDeleteI watched the wedding and I thought she looked great! I know a lot of the stuff she got from Bobbi Brown cosmetics.
ReplyDeleteI really thought her makeup was perfect. So many brides I feel look totally unlike themselves because their makeup is so heavy! I think the key is to keep it light and lovely, and still look like yourself.
