Which make up brand for a Kate Middleton look at 50?

I don't wear much make up - lipstick and mascara usually, but planning to up my game a little and buy some new make up so I don't look a washed out old hag for my new job next month.

I like the KM look (without the black eye liner) for its naturalness. What brand would give me a similar (obviously older) look? ? I was going to go to the appropriate counter and get them to 'do' me so I'd get an idea how to apply the products. I have funds.

Guide me please.

You don't need to spend. Just apply. Age has foundation powder ? Cream blush eyebrow pencil. Mascara.

It's not really a look

"She has". Not age

For natural I'd do bobbi brown or Clinique. But look at the assistants make up first

Wouldn't think you needed to buy a brand to copy her make up....it's not that innovative. You should be able to use any brand on the high street that suits you.

She doesn't look that 'natural' imo- loads of eye liner, brows and smokey eyes- and loads of blusher.
Someone reckoned that for her wedding she wore Lancome foundation and their Hypnose mascara, B Brown blusher.

I'm pretty sure that for the wedding, Bobbi Brown announced that she was using their products and even issued a "get the look" sheet for it:

Definitely look at the assistants first. I'm a big Bobbi Brown fan, but it really depends on whether the person helping you choose has a good eye for the colours that will suit you.
