The Princess of Wales looked as gorgeous as ever on Tuesday, as she and her husband, Prince William, spent their 14th wedding anniversary in Scotland. Kate wowed us all in her casual yet smart look of a Boden linen shirt, a Holland Cooper blazer, and, of course, her skinny jeans.
But did you see her makeup? Kate sported glowing skin (as ever) and a peachy-pink lip colour, but we couldn’t help but be entranced by the return of her eye makeup, which looked much more defined and smoky, just like her look in 2010, when she announced her engagement to Prince William to the world.
In that famous photoshoot, which took place in November 2010, King Charles’ son formally introduced his former university sweetheart to the world. Kate iconically wore a radiant Issa dress in a royal blue as a press interview took place at St James’s Palace.

The only real difference now is that Kate has embraced her porcelain skin as she has got older, sporting the fair look.

Kate’s new hair
The royal, who is known as the Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland, surprised royal fans with her considerably lighter, longer hair. We are used to the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis having famously dark brunette locks, but the royal appeared to have dabbled with some lighter tones, sporting a more caramel hue, which really lightened up her complexion.
