We've been watching her for a while. And we've seen the eyeliner coming through the door before the rest of her, so I don't know why I was surprised to be greeted with the same eyeliner overkill on Kate Middleton's wedding day. Maybe it's because I was expecting an upgrade from what she does everyday with her own moderate talents in that department. Because the royal wedding dress was so classic I was hoping that the makeup would live up to the classicism of the dress and be timeless and forgiving to the camera. But even more, I was praying that the "day after" makeup reviews wouldn't steer a nation to repeat the same errors for their own big occasions. But alas, I've seen so many media outlets and videos singing black polo shirts the virtues of a look red polo shirts gone awry. So I'd like to offer brides tips for taking the best of the new Royal's bridal beauty and knowing how to adapt the look to make it work for a wedding day image that will stand the test of time.
How to get a royal wedding look and do it yourself!
Skin
What not to do: green polo shirts don't use a moisturizing foundation that will slide off or start to shine early in the event. Don't miss the nose when you powder your face; the nose is the most "stand out" part of the face and if there is any shine, it will bounce off every light and camera lens.
What to do: wear a water-based, water-resistant foundation that looks like REAL skin. I like MAC's Face and Body. Also use a sheer powder that will combat shine but not add bulk to the texture of the skin, adding extra attention to the nose. MAC's blot powder is a favourite.
Cheeks
What not to do: don't use bronzer on the apples of the cheeks. Cheeks are meant to be flushed the way they get when you exercise a little. And don't contour the hollows of the cheeks with bronzer. Contours of the face are to be accentuated with real "shade" tones like taupes, not orange.
