Kate Middleton’s Beauty Secrets

I adore Kate Middleton – I even have a pinterest board dedicated to her! She’s beautiful, stylish, easy-to-relate-to AND a Princess – what’s not to love? And being a beauty junkie – I’m especially interested in her beauty products.

As with her clothes – she uses a mix of high-end and easily accessible products. Since she has access to the best things – one would think that whatever she picks must be good. Here’s some insight into her beauty routine.

Skincare & Hair:

Kate is a loyal user of Karin Herzog products – namely their: Professional Cleanser,
Vita-A-Kombi 1 (heals blemishes, sun damage & hyperpigmentation), Vita-A-Kombi 3 Spot Zapper, and Oxygen Face Cream.  Reading the reviews for these oxygen-infused products really makes me want to try the range (source)

But along with these higher-end products (priced from $30-75) Kate also stocks up on a drugstore moisturizer: Nivea Visage Pure and Natural Moisturising Day Cream. Victoria Beckham is also a fan of Nivea Visage products. (source)

Kate gets her hair dyed with L’Oreal Symbio and Fuente Organic color, has professional Keratin treatments, and uses Kerastase Conditioning products. (source)

Makeup:

Along with the makeup listed below (originally posted on my blog here), Kate used YSL Touche Eclat, Lancome Hypnose Mascara & Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser on her wedding day. (source)

EYES:
All over: Ivory Eyeshadow (a creamy white)
Lower lid: Rockstar Metallic Eyeshadow (a medium metallic grey)
Crease: Slate Eyeshadow (a medium grey)
Eyeliner: Black Ink Long-Wear Gel liner (a jet black)
Mascara: No SmudgeCHEEKS:Pale Pink Blush (a bright pale pink) + Pink Quartz Shimmer BrickLIPS:Sandwash Pink Lipcolor (a beige pink) + Crystal Lip Gloss(Non-Bobbi Brown products used :Nails: a custom blend which included Essie’s 423 Allure (a sheer with a natural finish) and Bourjois’ no. 28 Rose Lounge (milky pink sheer).Perfume:  White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum: described as
“the clean, fresh scent has a note of coconut bursting into ylang
ylang, lily of the valley and jasmine, with amber wood as the base
note.”  )

She was recently spotted making additional purchases at Bobbi Brown including Saddle brow powder, lipliner in Brownie Pink and lipstick in Sandwash Tulle. (source)

I have purchased the Bobbi Brown Pale Pink blush (I adore it – so bright and long-lasting) and have Sandwash Pink lipstick and Hypnose mascara next on my list to try. If it’s good enough for a Princess…..

Are you a fan of Kate Middleton? Do you own any of the products she uses?
