What's Wrong With Princess Kate's Black Eyeliner? Designer Westwood Says Too Harsh



Princess Kate = Heavy black eyeliner?!

Sorry, but we think brit designer Vivienne Westwood has it all wrong about the newly married Duchess of Cambridge.

In fact, we believe that Kate does her OWN makeup, quite royally, and that there's a bit of jealousy out there, when it comes to the slender brunette who caught Prince William's eye. Lately, we have seen it all over the British media, and when some can take a few shots at Kate, they really let 'em rip!

This is what the well-respected fashion designer told the Sunday Times Magazine: 'I think she's got a problem with eye make-up. The sharp line around her eyes make her look hard. Either she should be smudgy or wear none.'

Ouch!

Dame Vivienne is being a 'bi-atch' in our humble opinion. But she is not alone in her makeup criticism of Kate. Celebrity makeup artist Rachel Wood suggests that the princess/duchess just soften things up a bit, too:

'I'd love to see her with a strong and classic liquid on top and take her favoured hard black pencil on the bottom and soften and smoke it out. I would also love to give her a little more mascara,' she continued.

'If she prefers to keep the black liner she so loves to wear on the top line, I would love to add a touch of a smoky shadow to open and soften her eyes. This way she is keeping the colour she feels comfortable using, but giving it a much needed update and softer finish.'


Sheesh. We don't think Kate's liner looks out-dated at all. Could you imagine these women spouting off like that about the late Princess Diana?

Diana LOVED wearing eyeliner and tons of it. She, too, liked to rim the entire eye, and never once, did Diana do it wrong, either.

Liner is key when putting together a smoky eye. It gives shape and frameto the eye and looks quite polished and sophisticated, when done right.

Maybe some Brits would prefer that the Duchess of Cambridge have a professional makeup artist on hand, to perfect her non-professional makeup application when Kate appears before the public?

Even Kelly Osbourne believes Kate should take her royal highness to another uber level:

Kelly told Jay Leno on the Tonight Show about Kate wearing an outfit more than once :

'In England they are like look how thrifty she's being, showing the British public that the Royals are in a recession as well. Only in this country they call it a faux pas.'

Double ouch!

In our world, there's nothing wrong with black eyeliner. In fact, it's a makeup necessity!
