The Secret To Looking Like A Princess Revealed
British royals are required to follow certain beauty rules in the public, but on the opposite side of things, one may wonder how they can elevate their look to appear like royalty. According to Harper's Bazaar, there are a few practical ways to elevate your makeup game into something royally glamorous. The outlet interviewed celebrity makeup artist Naomi Donne in 2015 ahead of the release of Disney's live-action "Cinderella," and she revealed how she turned Lily James into the titular princess.
According to Donne, you should focus on classic glamour techniques if you want to emulate royalty. Cinderella employed '40s-era beauty techniques specifically. This included not much color. She wanted the princess to exhibit natural beauty to contrast with the other actors. "But when we decided to do this look, which is a very heightened '40s look, I wanted Cinderella's face to look as if she has nothing on ..." Donne told Harper's Bazaar.
This move falls in line with other Disney princess makeup hacks. Brit + Co recommends, for example, putting nude eyeliner on your lower water line to make your eyes look bigger, adding powder to your real lashes before applying fake lashes for a plumper, and using lipstick sealers for look longevity.
Both Donne and Brit + co highlight the necessary component of princess glamour, which is simply that it involves championing your face through makeup. It's about looking bright and ready to take on the day.
