To think Kate Middleton needs to hire a make up artist

Does she still do her own make up?

It's awful. She either needs lessons or just hire an expert.

How very shallow minded it is, to post about Kates make up. she always looks so lovely at all the functions that she has to attend.
Must be awful to live in the royal goldfish bowl, with all the media photo's etc, and then some of the public get all wired up to critisise every little detail about their appearance. a no no. so don't do it. !

She doesn't owe it to anyone to look whatever way they think she should look.

Don't be dicks, people.

I think it's nice she looks normal rather than professionally made up. Our society focuses too much on flawless make up and looking young.

Quickerthanavicar · 01/02/2018 06:41

Before you have a go, maybe get her name right.

Lets judge a woman purely on her looks Hmm. Weve got a long way to go before women are truly equal.

Shallow as fuck Sad

Lethaldrizzle · 01/02/2018 07:00

Never noticed her make-up in my life. I hope you never see my face op!

Lets judge a woman purely on her looks

It's hard to comment about Kate on anything else, she is not exactly famous for her achievements pre-marriage. No one expected her to be a Noble Price winner, but shopping, holidays and clubbing are a bit low on a list for someone who is allegedly supposed to "represent" us.

Just compare with other ladies who did marry royalty in other countries.

I do like the posters saying that someone should not be commented on because she is a "woman".

I think Kate always looks nice, that being said I am not a fan of the over made up look, false lashes, outrageous eyebrows and orange faces! No thanks, it looks hideous. She doesn’t need to change.

TenancyTroublesAgain · 01/02/2018 07:16

Nothing to do with you how someone does their makeup tbh. Next.

edibleweirdo · 01/02/2018 07:16

I think she looks great! If she looks older, it's probably because she, gasp, is AGEING! And chucking out kids. I look like a haggard old witch since having mine Grin

RadioGaGoo · 01/02/2018 07:17

This sounds driven by jealousy.

A professor of mine once quipped - people with low intellect talk about people, the ones with moderate intellect discuss events and ones blessed with high intellect, ideas.

Lets judge a woman purely on her looks.

No lets judge her on her pre marriage career and achievements or even post marriage.

She's done nothing all her life and has a team of nannies and house keepers so she isnt worn out from raising dc.

She looks old now as she keeps herself far too thin.

Other than dressing up she does nothing and with tens of thousands spent on a days worth of clothes, you'd think she'd rock up in something better than a mustard yellow pair of curtains.

FatherChewieLouie · 01/02/2018 07:31

Fuck's sake. Hmm

BetseyTrotwood · 01/02/2018 07:33

Wow. Got out of bed the wrong side Niki? You seem VERY bitter about a woman you don't know.

RadioGaGoo · 01/02/2018 07:33

Delightful NewYearNiki.

BetseyTrotwood · 01/02/2018 07:34

Let's have a selfie from you though - just to balance things out?

Originalfoogirl · 01/02/2018 07:35

It's hard to comment about Kate on anything else
So, don’t comment at all.

Basically you are saying she has nothing else for you to be judgey about so you have to be judgey about how she looks.

Or you could just move on to the next ‘slebby tabloid nonsense. She doesn’t need any notable achievements. She doesn’t need to be a Nobel prize winner. Neither are any of the other Royal spouses, or any of the Royal Family themselves come to that. If you want to hold women to a higher standard, you’d better be sure you are reaching that yourself.

Amanduh · 01/02/2018 07:35

She’s lovely. And pretty. And her makeup is fine.

NewYearNiki · 01/02/2018 07:35

If i had a hairdresser, and her money Id look a damn sight better than her.

barefoofdoctor · 01/02/2018 07:36

Makes a refreshing change from all the massive eyebrowed contoured clones with their fake blowjob lips and immobile faces. Good on Kate and I'm no royal fan.

wakemeupbefore · 01/02/2018 07:37

NNN, how about not judging others, how's that for an idea?

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 01/02/2018 07:37

Are you being ironic, Barefootdoctor?

Housewife2010 · 01/02/2018 07:38

Going off on a tangent, I think that Meghan needs to get a hairdresser. Her scruffy bun on her Cardiff walkabout wasn't suitable. Kate needs to blend her blusher and eyeliner. I think she always looks well presented though.

NorthernLightsAlways · 01/02/2018 07:39

It’s not true she’s doing nothing - the younger royals have consistently raised the profile of mental health charities, they deserve respect for that.

Fwiw, I do think she’s beautiful, and we don’t know how much of the rearing of her kids she does.
