Kate Middleton/Duchess of Cambridge needs a professional makeup artist?

[NerdyNightOwl]

I have always been a fan. I think she is intelligent and very conscious of the way she presents herself. Lately I cannot help but compare her makeup to the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan’s makeup looks are a lot better/glossy/smooth. Generally photographs better. Kates eye looks age her a bit so does the harsh contour. Really feel like she needs a professional makeup artist.

Kate's make up looks very flat, dry and powdery nowadays. The contouring and heavy eyeliner just isn't flattering on a woman her age. At her age I consciously started softening my make up and switched to creme blush and creme eyeshadow.

Maybe she should have lip fillers and Botox too! 🙄

Why would you equate using a creme blusher to having Botox?

It's fine if you hold up Kate as a style icon

Yet I haven't mentioned her or her appearance at all.

You seem very tetchy about someone suggesting that it's unkind to be slating someone (anyone) about their appearance and that it's possible to critique without being bitchy. I don't find it that difficult, though it appears that some find practically impossible.

I just find it a strange way to make yourself feel better. That's just my opinion of course which many on here keep crying we're all entitled to.

Well she already does have Botox- fabulous, superior Botox. It looks great

Why would Kate and Meghan have the exact same makeup look/style? They are two different women!

But I think you seem tetchy particularly as this is a style & beauty board?

What was so bitchy & slating about the original post? Since you directly replied to one of my posts what did I write that was so unpleasant?

Make me feel better about what?

I think that Kate is styled older than her years & in terms of style inspiration is not someone myself or my friends would look to. I understand she has constraints due to her role but I enjoy the way some other Royals dress. However I've also said it's her choice.

I also prefer M&S mayo to Hellman's.

Neither opinions have any reflection on how I feel about myself.

Can't see a massive difference other than skin tone?

As in the above posters photos, Meghan actually on occasion wears much heavier make up than Kate. She was very made up at the rememberance ceremony recently. But I think dark eyes and skin tone just carry it off differently.
Kate's toned down the heavy eyeliner of her younger years. I think she still looks great though and I can't see anything wrong with her make up. She does look tired sometimes though (don't we all!) and it shows round her eyes, in which case I think the heavier eye make up accentuates this.

She's in her late 30s, she's got 3 children (suffering HG 3 times) and I think she smokes (?)

Personally I think she looks amazing, as does Meghan.

Can we see a picture of you op?

Lots of people in the public eye are full of fillers and Botox so it's distorted our view of what a woman nearing middle age should look like.

I’d like to see them promoting British designers by wearing them more on official engagements. I understand that they wear designers from the country when they are on state visits, but I don’t understand why they wear multinational owned brands like D & G when they really don’t need the publicity.

Crumbs ! If photographers took such close ups of me at work and then people were able to hone in inevery little wrinkle, freckle or pimple I'd be
They both look lovely.

Lately in the odd photo Kate has looked a little tired but that's understandable as I believe she's a fairly hands on Mum with a busy life and the odd night may have been kept up with a poorly or "frightened from a bad dream" child or had a row with William. Her parents are from a non aristocratic background so she knows what "middle class normal" is like ( they weren't always wealthy ) and probably wants to keep the children as "normal" AS POSSIBLE so they can relate well to people.

I'm failing to see how to OP has disrespected the Duchess of Cambridge. It's a thread in the "Style and Beauty" section of MN, she hasn't called her names, just said that her make up could do with some changes.

Yes, Kate Middleton doesn't have to wear make up to please anyone, but seriously, that woman must already adhere to rules about what to wear and how to have her hair done and what to say in public etc.. She surely cannot dye her hair pink or get a mohawk. Which is way more misogynistic than this thread, the fact she always has to look demure and politely smiling without saying much, because apparently that's what future queens should look like.

I agree about them wearing mostly British fashion. For the female royals their clothes are a large part of the job. If their role is to represent British industry I can’t understand why Meghan is always wearing Givenchy and her friends’ US fashion brands.

Wear what you want off-duty but for public engagements at home they really should all be head to toe in British designers.

I agree they should be promoting the great British fashion industry as much as possible at public engagements.

The head of Givenchy is a British woman from Birmingham.

Yes, but Givenchy doesn’t need the extra £10,000+ of sales a plug by a duchess can give, that would be just extra day on a yacht for their millionaire owner. That money could pay for the next collection for someone starting out.

I know the head designer for Givenchy is British. It’s not really relevant. She’s heading up a French fashion house. No money goes into the British economy.
