Yesterday, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William hosted a reception at their London home, which welcomed young people from India and Bhutan. Although it’s no secret that the 34-year-old royal is known for her gleaming brunette locks and ladylike makeup, Catherine stunned yet again with her latest beauty look.

The trendsetting duchess made a statement with her long and lustrous brown tresses, which were gently curled to produce a loose wavy effect. The curled blowout brought volume to her famous strands, and added a youthful effect which highlighted her features.

Meanwhile, Catherine’s subtle makeup also enhanced her visage and resulted in an elegant yet effortless look.

Her eyes were outlined with dark navy blue eyeliner, with dark mascara completing the eye makeup statement. Meanwhile, a touch of rosy pink blush was used to emphasize her cheekbones. For a finishing touch, a hint of pale pink lip colour contrasted with the navy eyelids.

We are definitely admiring Catherine’s classic makeup and enviable locks, which prove that simplicity and understated beauty can be truly chic.
