Summary
44-year-old Kate Middleton unveiled a smokey eye with jet-black winged eyeliner at Crathie Kirk in Scotland, a sharper daytime makeup look than her usual minimalist style.
Makeup artist Jo Martin said the look worked by keeping the wing low and elongated, diffusing charcoal shadow around it and building thickness only toward the outer edge for a softer lift.
The technique was designed to avoid heavy dark makeup making mature eyes look smaller, with Kate also using lower waterline liner and upper-lash tightlining to create an anti-ageing effect.
At the Balmoral church outing, the Princess of Wales paired the look with a Holland & Cooper blouse, tweed jacket, Ralph Lauren earrings and a Lock & Co pillbox hat first worn in 2012.
The appearance came during the Wales family's private summer break with King Charles and Queen Camilla in Balmoral, continuing a royal holiday tradition started by Queen Elizabeth.
