When she hit her 40s, she opted for a more elegant look

When she turned 40 in 2022, Catherine opted for old-world glamour. It was sophisticated and chic, complete with light foundations, flawless eye makeup, and bronzer or blush as needed. Based on hearsay, her mascara of choice is Lancôme Hypnose Mascara, which she uses regularly. She doesn’t get spray tans anymore or wear lipstick.

In 2023, she went more modest for charitable events

When promoting causes that she’s passionate about, she opts for a more demure aesthetic. For instance, in September 2023, she introduced her Shaping US program to the National Portage Association, giving a speech about early childhood development. Her hair was worn pinned back, and she donned flats instead of heels, paired with plain black pants and a red blazer. Her makeup was equally professional to match with lighter-than-usual eye makeup and a pale pink blush with just a touch of foundation and eye pencil.

In 2025, Kate Middleton’s makeup shows that this princess is ready to be queen

Today, Kate Middleton looks more regal than ever. Her looks at both the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Commonwealth Day Service were flattering, self-assured, and regal. She’s introduced delicate, peachy lip colors into her look and, as always, applies a healthy amount of mascara and rich eyeshadow. Style expert Miranda Holder told Hello! that this 2025 evolution foreshadows her future role in the British monarchy, especially since her style and hair have undergone a makeover as well.
