Immaculate less than 12 hours after giving birth as well as throughout her second pregnancy, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton always manages to look effortlessly beautiful no matter the occasion. To achieve the duchess's elegant and natural look, we enlisted the help of Benjamin Leung, Giorgio Armani Beauty's national face designer. According to his expert advice, in order to create the right look, focusing on the eyes is very important.

Use black or brown eyeliner to outline the contour of the eye.

When choosing an eye shadow, Leung recommends combining matte with shimmer. Choose a matte eye shadow in dark brown or black and sweep over eyelids. Include the outer corners to continue building up the contour.

Next, use a shimmer eye shadow in Champagne gold or metallic brown for the inner corners, as this helps make eyes look brighter.

A fresh and elegant look also needs to be energetic. Finish the eyes by using clean, volume-enhancing mascara, which will brighten the eyes and banish any signs of tiredness.

UPDATE IT: COCKTAIL CHIC

Go from demure by day to naughty by night. The Kate Middleton look is versatile enough to be perfect for the office, yet a quick twist will transform your face completely. Channel glamazon Kate Winslet by adding a bold slash of red lippy, and you’re ready for a cocktail or red carpet event. We like the fearless crimson hue of Laneige’s Two Tone Lip Bar No 5 (HK$210).

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE IT: HIT THE CLUB

No one can nail the party animal look quite like Katy Perry. Get the singer’s sultry allure by slathering on the mascara for extra-long lashes. We recommend Lancôme’s Grandiôse Smudge Proof (HK$295), which has an ultra-black formula for added intensity, and it’ll stay on without smudging so you can dance the night away.
