Makeup artist for the Duchess of Cambridge reveals her simple skin cleansing technique
THE Duchess of Cambridge’s makeup artist has revealed the simple, cheap way she removes her makeup to achieve her glowing skin.
IT IS a truth universally acknowledged that wherever the Duchess of Cambridge goes, women blindly follow.
Her commercial influence has been dubbed “the Kate effect” — almost every dress she wears instantly sells out.
Now her makeup artist Arabella Preston has revealed the best way to wash your face.
“It’s all about the flannel,” Preston, the co-founder of luxury skincare line Votary, told The Cut. “It’s quite necessary,” she said.
Preston’s theory is that a flannel — or a washer, as we call it here — removes makeup and dirt from your skin while gently exfoliating.
It’s not the first time we’ve received some goss about what skincare products the Duchess uses.
According to US Weekly, Kate slathered Trilogy’s Rosehip Oil onto her skin while carrying Princess Charlotte.
“Kate is very cautious of products and treatments,” a source told the magazine. “Baby’s health comes first.
“Kate continues to use rosehip oil in her daily skincare regiment. She loves the effect is has on her skin. [Her mother] Carole [Middleton] is also a fan.”
The Duchess has been celebrated for filling her wardrobe with a mix of high street labels and luxury designers.
While her wedding dress was Alexander McQueen, she’s a big fan of ASOS and British retailer Reiss.
In 2015, Kate wore a $68 ASOS maternity dress while visiting the Brookhill Children’s Centre in London. The dress sold out almost instantly, and ASOS had to restock.
The $70 pink Seraphine dress she wore for her first family portrait with Prince George and Prince William sold out in every colour available within two hours, with a four-week-long waiting list.
