Duchess Kate’s favourite beauty products

From her day-to-day favourites to the make-up she used for her wedding day - peek inside the Duchess of Cambridge's makeup bag.

Ever asked yourself what products the Duchess of Cambridge keeps in her beauty line-up to achieve such flawless skin? Or what hair products she uses to maintain her glossy brunette hair?

From her day-to-day favourites to the make-up she used for her wedding day, we reveal what’s rumoured to be inside Duchess Catherine’s beauty bag.

Two words: complexion perfection. This Royal has been rumoured to slather Trilogy Rose Hip Oil, on her flawless-looking skin. Pressed from the fruit of the rose plant, the genius oil is full of essential fatty acids (for hydrating and skin plumping) and vitamin A (for anti-ageing), vitamin C (for brightening) and vitamin E (for moisturising and smoothing). With that combination, it’s no wonder the Duchess’s skin is so radiant.

Kate is constantly tressed to impress and, as reported by PopSugar, it’s down to this Kerastase Bain Satin 2 Shampoo, $38, along with conditioner and hair masks.

According to sources, Kate credits her shimmery neutral lids to Urban Decay’s Naked Palette

Duchess Catherine’s beauty routine includes cleansing with a soft cotton face washer which, according to her makeup artist Arabella Preston, is the secret to gently exfoliating skin while properly removing makeup and dirt. Use with an oil cleanser for a deeper clean, without stripping your skin.

The Duchess of Cambridge and the former First Lady Michelle Obama have a lot in common: they’re both powerful, beautiful and wrinkle-free thanks to this organic botox gel. “Michelle Obama has been using this organic botox gel regularly on the recommendation of Kate Middleton,” the former First Lady’s make-up artist, Carl Ray, told Celebrities Style, adding that the product, is “unbelievable for erasing wrinkles.”

Catherine is a true natural beauty – and she has a manicure regimen to match. While she is predisposed to a “60-minute Royal manicure”, her manicurist, Marina Sandoval used Essie’s Nail Lacquer in Allure, to dress up her tips for her wedding day back in 2011. Of course the brand has the Queen’s tick of approval as well, as she reportedly only wears the colour ‘Ballet Slippers’.

Kate is said to swear by Karin Herzog Oxygen Face Cream, Mild Scrub and Professional Cleanser pack, having used this Swiss beauty range for years.

An insider revealed to Hello! magazine Kate uses Lancôme’s Advanced Génifique, $97, to keep her skin looking fresh.

Keeping in tow with the neutral look, Kate is believed to lengthen her lashes using Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara.

It’s said that her Royal Highness calls on Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer, for a natural, unblemished finish.

While sources have said she gets a weekly St. Tropez spray tan, during her pregnancy with Princess Charlotte, Kate opted for Bobbi Brown’s DHA-free Bronze Shimmer Brick, to give her cheeks that all-year-round summer glow.

Having been rumoured to have done her own make-up on her wedding day using Bobbi Brown products, it’s no surprise this Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner, eyeliner is Kate’s go-to. –
