The 1 Beauty Look Kate Middleton ALWAYS Wears to Weddings

Updated on 1/9/2019 at 11:45 AM

Kate Middleton is no wedding guest novice. In fact, since getting together with Prince William, she's had quite a few weddings to attend, and there's one thing we're always eager to see: her hair and makeup. Because she is affiliated with the royals, you won't see any wild hair colors or bold lip shades. She keeps it very neutral, often opting for loose waves and a pink lip. But the one thing she has amped up over the years is her eye makeup. The duchess is partial to some bolder eyeliner and loves a signature smoky shadow to define her eyes for a special occasion.

For her own wedding she chose a combination of her favorite go-to options, wearing her hair in a loose half up, half down style and for the makeup, she went heavy on the eye makeup and kept it very light and pink toned for the cheeks and lips. Ahead, see all of the Duchess of Cambridge's best beauty moments at other weddings.
