Kate Middleton Wedding Make-Up look

Who would have though that this royal bride will be doing her own wedding make-up?

KATE MIDDLETON continued the natural feel of her wedding day look by insisting on doing her own make-up for the grand occasion.

You can create the same look!

• First prime your face with a good product to reduce the appearance of pores and fine wrinkles this will also give the foundation an airbrushed effect. Try Smashbox Photo Finish Primer (Available at selected Woolworths branches). If you have any skin issues such as redness or dark circles its important to conceal it. It will show up on photographs if you don't. 

• For foundation its important to use photographic products to reduce any shine and to provide the ultimate coverage as camera flashes tend to highlight flaws and washout the colours. 
• Match your foundation to your jawline and apply it in soft circular motions with a foundation brush or beauty blender. Make sure you blend the area under your jaw as well. You want to look natural without any streaks.
• Use a professional or high-end powder to set the foundation and to make it last all day.

• Now use a small angular brush to fill in your brows, I prefer using a matte shadow over using an eyebrow pencil. Pencils are made from a wax substance and will shine and smear. It also looks very unnatural to have drawn in lines. Powder is subtle yet effective.
• Use a shadow in the same shade as your hair or natural brow hair colour, dap the brush very gently in the shadow and tap the excess off.  Start by filling in the inner part of your brow, only stroking it gently along the hair and not directly on to the skin. Do the same on the other brow then fill in the outer parts with the remaining shadow. The reason for this is to have a natural look, you will only need a little shadow for the outer parts and using more will be too harsh. Use clear mascara over the brows to set the powder.

• To create the soft smokey eye effect that Kate has you will need a grey/brown matte shadow and a soft nude colour. Apply the brown from the outer parts of your crease inwards, creating a V shape. Leave the base of your eyelid and your upper lashline clean for now, blend out the colour not any higher than the fold of the crease. Using the lighter shade apply the nude colour from the lashline meeting the brown shade at the crease, blend it out. Highlight your tear-duct and under brow area with a soft shimmer colour to enhance the eyes.

• Take a black matte shadow and using the angular brush again, draw a line right on your upper lashline outwards,staying clear from the tear duct. Take a soft fluffy brush and blend the colour out to soften the line and make it natural. You will draw the same line in the lower lashline.. Apply a black mascara that is waterproof.

• For your cheeks use a matte rosy pink blush on the apples of your cheeks like Kate did, not too much. Just enough to look natural.
• If you want to ensure that you're make-up will stay fresh and last the entire day without smudges and smears use MAC Fix+ setting spray.

• Use a matte lipstick in 2 shades lighter as your blush colour, Kate went with a very soft pinky colour that is hardly noticeable. Very natural and beautiful.

And there you have it! A natural wedding make-up look inspired by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge.
