The Princess of Wales made our week on Thursday, when she stepped out for a variety of royal appointments in the south of England. Many of us noticed her incredible grey, heritage checked suit by Bella Freud, and of course, her newly blonde hair which mesmerised royal fans all over the world. The wife of Prince William never looked happier as she beamed at the crowd, but what we all failed to notice was that her makeup looked more defined and pronounced, particularly her eye look. The 43-year-old sported a dark smoky eye look, which was enhanced with brown eyeshadow, visible eyeliner, mascara and framing brows that were angular and straight. The royal's complexion look lightly tanned too.
It really reminded us of the makeup look that Kate sported back in 2010, when her engagement to Prince Williamn was announced to the world. The Princess famously rocked a royal blue dress by UK brand Issa London, when she was photographed at St James's Palace. The elegant silk style featured a pleated front, flared skirt and delicately ruched waist ties.
Her makeup was also very of the time and her gorgeous beauty glowing look featured rather bold smoky eyes and brows.

Maria Mukaranda, Beauty Editor at Cosmetify, told HELLO!: "Kate has been seen wearing much more daring makeup recently, sporting darker eyeshadow tones and more liberally applied highlighter."

When we think of Kate, the words warm, graceful, and relatable spring to mind, traits that have very much carried through into her makeup style. However, they don’t quite encompass the strength and power of the future Queen. A darker, smokier eye may be a sign that she’s rebranding herself in the years leading up to her ascension to the throne."
