The Duchess of Cambridge has long established herself as a style icon. The Woman’s Day editorial team tells how to look no worse, and maybe even better than an English princess.
That the natural charm of Her Highness is worth money, no one doubted. But how big ?! Not so long ago, ABC reporters calculated. It turned out about 37 thousand dollars a year.
There are three times a week styling, haircuts and coloring every six weeks, expensive masks and spa treatments, bronzing, teeth whitening and, of course, luxury cosmetics.
Not every mere mortal can spend that kind of money on beauty. And there is hardly any time to visit a stylist and a beautician so often. But the desire to look perfect is equally strong in an ordinary woman and in the august person.
Kate Middleton prefers naturalness, but this does not mean that she does not use makeup at all.
A perfectly matched foundation and a blush that mimics a natural blush are the basis of her make-up.
Eyebrows must be corrected with a dark pencil and eyebrow shadows.
The main focus is on the eyes. Most often, Kate prefers a gray-brown-burgundy color scheme, which is ideal for brown-haired women and brunettes. The upper eyelids are framed by thin arrows. The bruises under the eyes are masked with concealer, and then the effect is finished to perfection with the help of a radiant highlighter.
Lipstick – almost always delicate berry shades.
With her, Kate is in complete order. No wonder she visits the stylist at least three times a week.
Middleton’s favorite hairstyle is styling with natural curls.
Nothing of the above is impossible. For help to create an ideal image, I turned to the specialists of the Hair Dry bar at Bolshaya Dmitrovka, 16, building 1. The salon is located in an ideal place – in the very center of Moscow, the service pleases, and the prices for services are pleasantly surprising. By the way, there is a two-handed service here, which I used with pleasure. As a result, the whole transformation procedure took me 60 minutes.
Makeup
Everything like Kate Middleton’s is, of course, almost fantastic. On the eve of the campaign, two huge pimples treacherously appeared on my face, and traces of an active working week under the eyes … As a result, I had to abandon the light tone. True, the tonal cream denser in texture did not make the image heavier at all.
The color of the blush was chosen a tone lighter than Kate’s to match the skin tone.
The rest adhered to the chosen direction.
Hairstyle
Styling with natural curls is one of the most popular evening hairstyles today. Unfortunately, my hair is not as thick as Kate’s, and therefore I had to use not only hairspray, but also a curling iron for root volume.
In order for the hairstyle on unruly hair to last as long as possible, they fixed it with a varnish with super strong hold.
Result
Hair and styling cost me a total of 4,5 thousand rubles. Taking into account the good service and the result – almost nothing.
I was more than happy with the result. Honestly, it seemed to me that my image turned out even better than Kate’s.
