1.Lancôme Genifique
Lancôme Genifique contains potent anti-ageing benefits, so the Duchess carries a bottle in her tour make-up bag to combat the signs of late nights, long flights and big events. A few drops of this silky serum and a youthful radiance is restored to tired and worn-out skin.

2. NEVER HAVE A BAD HAIR DAY
You'd be hard-pressed to name any of Kate Middleton's flaws, but her hair is her best feature—and it's her trademark. In picture after picture, she works her long, sexy layers, bouncy waves, and enviable shine. You can mimic the glossiness with Kérastase Nutritive Bain Oléo-Relax Smoothing Shampoo—Middleton is rumored to be a fan.

3.Hydra Zen NeuroCalm
Kate has been a fan of Lancôme's Hydra Zen NeuroCalm SPF 15 for years. The long-lasting benefits and extremely hydrating properties make this cream a smart choice to see Kate through appearances.

4.EMPHASIZE ONE FEATURE
The rule goes: eyes or lips, but never both. Middleton takes this one to heart. She rims her upper and lower lash lines with black eyeliner and piles on the mascara. The look is always striking, but never complicated—there's no smoky effect or bright shadow. Nars Eyeliner Pencil in Black Moon creates an even, inky line.

5.Bobbi Brown Long-Wear  Foundation
Kate's fresh and glowing skin isn't all down to good genes. The Duchess has chosen the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation to give her skin a boost. The lovely matte texture ensures Kate' skin skips the shine and stays on the right side of dewy all day.

6.A PALE MANICURE CAN TURN AS MANY HEADS AS A BRIGHT ONE
When your engagement ring is an 18-carat sapphire last worn by the most photographed woman in history, you don't want to upstage it with a color-of-the-moment polish. Middleton's nails are always pale pink and neatly trimmed. Essie Nail Polish in Mademoiselle is a perfect shade.

7.KEEP IT NEUTRAL
Middleton doesn't shy away from color, but she saves it all for her wardrobe, which is full of rich, saturated jewel tones. When it comes to makeup, her cheeks have a subtle flush, and on her lips she uses a gloss that's a shade darker than her natural color. Get the look with M.A.C Tinted Lipglass in C-Thru.
