Make-Up: Kate Middleton's Wedding Look

Kate Middleton's Wedding Make-Up by missdijah on Polyvore.com

When rumors surfaced that the now Duchess of Cambridge would be doing her own make-up, I was hell bent on seeing how it turned out.

Maybe on HDTVs around the world, the blusher looked a bit much and let's just say I'm very happy that the color washed out in photographs.

The products I selected are pretty much conjecture about what she actually used. Since, we're not going to see a list of products from any make-up artist anytime soon, I went with what I saw while watching the Royal Wedding and what I found out from a little internet snooping. 

My leading clue was her blusher. Apparently it was Rose Temptation by Chanel. So my guess was that she probably used all Chanel products. Of course, she could've used anything she wanted and was comfortable with, but why not go Chanel all the way right?

Besides the Rose Temptation blush, I included a matte foundation (Chanel's Mat Lumiere) seeing as her makeup looked flawless without an overly dewy complexion. I had to include the bronzer in there as well. Her cheeks were so beautifully contoured and I applaud her for that. She accentuated her cheekbones beautifully (though, I must point out they don't need much accentuating!). We don't even have to mention the brows. They are gorgeous and strong and such a smart idea for someone who will be seen by millions! Pink lips to complement the pink blush, and of course classic black eyeliner and a grey/blue for her eyelid color. 

Hope that this was entertaining! It certainly was entertaining to put together!

Peace lovies.

Fashion: The Duchess of Cambridge

I think if there was a story about a girl who played her cards right, it would definitely be about Kate Middleton. 

Haha. Ok that sounded a tad mean. :P

Anyhoo, the day after wearing two gorgeous and stunning Alexander McQueen dresses, she chose to wear Zara. She is cleverly entering the realm of a people's princess by wearing items that real people would have ready access too. 

I took inspiration from a photograph of her leaving Buckingham Palace wearing a belted pleated Zara dress with a 3/4 sleeve blazer and some rocking wedges. She's bang on trend and she's nailed it with yet another blue dress. 

Peace lovies.

Til the next post!
