Kate Middleton’s Stunning Transformation: A Fresh Look for 2025
It’s undeniable that the Princess of Wales is radiating freshness and a glow like never before. Her skin appears flawless and free of blemishes, despite her opting for minimal makeup these days.
Since resuming her royal responsibilities after completing chemotherapy, the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis seems to be embracing a more natural aesthetic in her makeup routine.
Her transition to a more understated look is quite dramatic, especially when compared to the glamorous makeup styles she favored in the past.

This beautiful brunette was often seen with kohl outlining both her top and bottom lashes, frequently paired with deep eyeshadow.
On her wedding day, Kate opted for a more natural makeup look, enhancing her eyes while keeping the rest of her face understated.
While she used to pile on the mascara, her approach now is notably different.
The kohl has been replaced; these days, the royal prefers simple brown eyeshadow with a touch of liner in a complementary shade, creating a softer and more flattering effect.

While she still applies mascara, it’s usually a light coat, unlike the layers she used to wear.
Farewell to bold brows
Kate has always favored a full brow, particularly memorable during her wedding and when she was introduced to the public in 2010 upon her engagement to Prince William, showcasing a perfectly arched shape.

This is a recent change for her. At the No Time To Die premiere in September 2021, she displayed fluffy brows that seemed to have been laminated.

Currently, her eyebrows remain prominent yet are a lighter hue and less structured, giving her a fresher appearance.
No more tanning
The Princess used to have a slightly tanned look, though we can only speculate about the methods used.

For her wedding, Kate is said to have used ‘Xen-Tan Instant Bronzing Mist’ for a gentle glow. Us Weekly has noted her previous use of St. Tropez spray tanning, though such practices seem less evident now.

Kate’s complexion is currently radiant and porcelain-like. While her skin may appear warmer during holidays, she has largely opted for a more natural, English rose look.
