MH BEAUTY: TIPS FROM KATE MIDDLETON

When the world is watching your every move, you better have your look perfected—and Kate Middleton hasn’t made a wrong move yet. Here are the lessons in flawlessness we’ve learned from England’s newest princess.

1. NEVER HAVE A BAD HAIR DAY

You’d be hard-pressed to name any of Kate Middleton’s flaws, but her hair is her best feature—and it’s her trademark. In picture after picture, she works her long, sexy layers, bouncy waves, and enviable shine.
2. DITCH THE UPDO

When Middleton needs to get her hair off her face—for a long afternoon greeting people on a receiving line, for instance—she goes for a half-up style. She pulls up just enough to leave the bottom half full and makes sure there’s volume on top.

3. DON’T LET A HAT DICTATE YOUR STYLE

Middleton wears a hat or a fascinator to almost every major public appearance, and she knows how to make sure the look is festive and appropriate, not dowdy and old-fashioned. The key is wearing her hair long and loose—it’s elegant but still youthful.

4. EMPHASIZE ONE FEATURE

The rule goes: eyes or lips, but never both. Middleton takes this one to heart. She rims her upper and lower lash lines with black eyeliner and piles on the mascara. The look is always striking, but never complicated—there’s no smoky effect or bright shadow.

5. EMBRACE YOUR BROWS

Middleton’s strong brows are neat but full. They balance her high forehead and draw attention to her eyes.

6. FLAWLESS SKIN IS NO ACCIDENT

Though the paparazzi has been following her for years, Middleton has yet to take a bad picture. You only have to look as far as her mother, Carole Middleton, to see that she owes her amazing skin to good genes, but she doesn’t take it for granted. Middleton reportedly sticks to a consistent skin-care routine and has been using Karin Herzog products for years.

7. A PALE MANICURE CAN TURN AS MANY HEADS AS A BRIGHT ONE

When your engagement ring is an 18-carat sapphire last worn by the most photographed woman in history, you don’t want to upstage it with a color-of-the-moment polish. Middleton’s nails are always pale pink and neatly trimmed.
