Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle’s Makeup Styles Compared: Who Is More Provocative?

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s makeup styles have just been compared and one of them is reportedly more provocative than the other.

Award-winning makeup artist Stacey Whittaker spoke with Express to compare the duchesses’ look at the Remembrance Day Service on Sunday. She said that the Duchess of Sussex opted for a more provocative look compared to the mom of three that went natural.

“Perhaps Meghan is more used to her Hollywood style and prefers her makeup look to reflect that. The main difference between the two looks, in my opinion, is the finish on the skin, as Kate has opted for a more matte look and Meghan looks more dewy and fresh. Both have quite bold and defined brows but Kate’s makeup looks more precise and Meghan’s is slightly more smoky and sultry,” she said.

But despite the Royals’ different makeup styles, Whittaker said that they both looked appropriate for the occasion. More specifically, Middleton’s strong brow may have been defined using a dark brown brow powder.

“Natural looking false lashes were used to open up the eyes and were lined with black eyeliner with a small cat-eye flick. The sockets of the eyes are dabbed with earthy browns and rusts to add warmth and to not let her strong eye look become too severe,” she explained.

And when it came to Markle’s makeup style, Whittaker described it as subtle and fresh.

“Instead of using heavy tones as Catherine did, Meghan used soft browns and lilacs inside the sockets of the eyes with a hint of highlighter on the brow bone. A creamy dust pink blusher is blended into the apples of her cheeks and there appears to be highlighter swept down the bridge of her nose and across her cheekbones to define the contours of her face – and to look great in every camera angle,” she explained.

The expert concluded that Prince William’s wife may benefit more if she learns how to experiment with her makeup. Markle, on the other hand, may have had more experience wearing makeup because of her former work as an actress.
