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!
