Catherine, Princess of Wales, popularly known as Kate Middleton, is celebrated for her stylish appearance. Throughout her public life, she has faced both admiration and scrutiny, marking her evolution into a royal figure. Despite her efforts, she has had her share of fashion dilemmas, wearing outfits that sparked controversy and showcasing that she is, after all, just human. Over the years, Kate has also experienced her share of makeup mishaps.
While she often appears impeccably styled, even Kate has had her off days, experiencing struggles with makeup techniques like contouring and eyeliner application. These moments remind us that not every outing is a triumph.
A Lacking Lipstick Look
During a mental fitness workshop, Kate Middleton adopted a minimalist makeup approach. While intended to create a relaxed image, the absence of lipstick muted her complexion, giving her a slightly fatigued appearance. This was contrasted by her bold mascara application, which didn’t quite match the subdued makeup elsewhere on her face.
In attendance at a SportsAid event with her husband, Prince William, Kate emphasized their commitment to youth mental health. SportsAid highlighted the significance of their appearance on World Mental Health Day, stressing the importance of supporting young people’s well-being.
Contouring Confusion
While attending the Ring O’Fire Ultra Marathon in 2013, Kate Middleton’s makeup featured excessive contouring. Although she aimed to highlight her cheekbones, the heavy application led to an unflattering, streaked effect. A reminder of the importance of makeup balance, Kate’s look serves as a cautionary tale to double-check before stepping outside.
Attending the 135-mile foot race, Kate and Prince William took a moment away from parenting newborn Prince George to support an event that held surprises for participants when they announced the race’s commencement.
Under-Eye Liner Misstep
At the Remembrance Sunday Service in 2016, Kate tried to achieve a solemn appearance with heavy eyelining. However, her application went awry, resulting in a comical “raccoon” effect, detracting from the serious nature of the event.
