I'm speechless!! It looks like a Halloween nightmare

[4Pam]

Ew. It all looks awful. I hope we never see her with any of those looks.

[Grandduchess24]

I think that's too much make up, the amount she puts on now kooks just fine.

This has nothing to do with Kate or her preferences - this is all free publicity for M&S and their new virtual tool. just a gimmick to drive traffic to the site - they could have done anyone and did... but Kate was such an easy target.

Way too much for such a young women. I dont mind if that was an evening event. I think she would look much prettier and softer with much less make up.

I do wish Kate wouldn't apply so much makeup, especially the horrible orangy blush and way too much eye makeup.

This said, one reason she may apply so much makeup is because Kate doesn't have a very good skin; sometimes people with less than perfect skin (me included) feel the need to "hide" behind a thick layer of makeup. Then again, there are ways to apply all the necessary beauty products, but still achieve a natural, "no makeup" look.

Not saying this for the sake of criticising, mind you; just stating my opinion based on my observations.

Besides the blush (she should probably ease up on it), I don't think her makeup looks bad. It doesn't look any heavier (or worse) than what some of the other royal women wear.

[Prinsessan]

I also have the feeling that Kate doesn't have very good skin and "hides" it behind a lot of make-up. I'd like to see her more natural from time to time.

Letizia's make-up in this picture looks really horrible too. I mean her neck is always lighter than her face lately and normally I'm not someone to point fingers at that, but sometimes it just looks too terrible. Doesn't anyone ever tell her that or maybe it's just the pictures/light/whatever?

I think Letizia has a very good make up compared to other royal ladies apart from face/neck difference.

Its striking, almost in every event that she attends and defo no light issue

Don't get me wrong, I also think Letizia has great make-up most of the time, and normally the neck/face difference doesn't bother me that much, but in that picture her face looks terribly dark IMO.

Of all the pictures and videos of Princess Anne, I haven't seen her wear any makeup except lipstick. She did wear blue eyeshadow at her wedding though, and it matched her eyes perfectly. I saw one interview of her and David Frost from 28 years ago; she was wearing a periwinkle blue dress with gold stud earrings (she's had those earrings forever!) and had her hair in her signature hairstyle. She looked younger than her 34 years, especially when she looked off to the side. I think blue is her best colour. She also has a remarkable peaches and cream complexion. If I were a royal and needed makeup tips, I would go to her for Anne-swers.



Such long fingers too!

i think that although kate may use a lot of make up, it certainly looks (most of the times) rather natural.

I love this shade of lipstick on Charlotte Casiraghi
