[News](https://newyorkfolk.com/category/news/) Kate Middleton Lipstick: The Royals’ Lip Color Preferences and Exact Lipstick Shades The Royals have rules about everything, including their appearance.From their hairstyles to nails, it’s governed.For makeup, bright lip colors are received poorly in the Royal family, which is why so many choose nudes or barely-there pinks.Some, however, skirt a daring red lipstick from time to time — definitely the exception and not the rule.While the Royal family has not outright banned the color, they strongly suggested using more decorum.

Mary Greenwell, makeup artist for the Royals, told Vogue that the color choice “isn’t about trends but about timeless, classic beauty.” Here are Kate Middleton and other members of the Royal family’s favorite lip brands and colors.Kate Middleton lipstick The Royals have always been fashion-forward, and Kate Middleton is no exception.From her regal looks to her signature lipstick shades, she is always ready for a close-up.

Kate Middleton‘s favorite lipstick brand is Bobbi Brown, and her go-to shade is Sandwash Pink.Bobbi Brown discontinued that signature color, but we found a near duplicate in Bobbi Brown’s Pink Cloud Luxe Lipstick hue.

On Middleton’s wedding day, she wore the same brand’s Sandwash Pink color.Meghan Markle Even though this beauty isn’t living in the U.K., she’s still on watch for her style and charm.

As Prince Harry’s wife, she is always in front of the camera.We’ve seen that just like Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle‘s go-to is a nude color.In the past, beauty insiders have acknowledged her favorites: Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in Very Victoria, Honest Beauty’s Truly Kissable Lip Crayons (in a variety of colors), and a Dior Lip Glow in Coral Glow.

The Dior product was on display at Markle’s 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.

Queen Elizabeth Before her death, Queen Elizabeth was hardly ever seen without her signature red lipstick.While the Queen had Clarins create a bespoke red color fit for a monarch, she also loved colors by Elizabeth Arden.Queen Elizabeth was also seen applying the lipstick in photos on several occasions.Royals… They’re just like us.

Princess Anne Also bucking the nude and pale pink colors, Prince Charles’ sister Princess Anne boldly wears a chic red color portraying Hollywood glam and style.She is hardly ever seen without the bold look of MAC’s Ruby Woo shade, and we are here for it.Lady Kitty Spencer While everyone seems to find their perfect nude or signature style color, Lady Kitty Spencer has changed the rules of the game by creating her own bespoke color.The British model and aristocrat combines Charlotte Tilbury’s Super Cindy and Pillow Talk colors.While not quite front and center in the Royal family, Lady Kitty is still a regal one to watch on lip color.

Princess Diana Diana changed it up depending on the event and her style for the day.She wore everything from browns to nudes to reddish-orange tints.When it was time to do her engagement photo shoot in 1981, she opted for Max Factor’s Tint of Pink (an ’80s favorite).Sadly, this has been discontinued.A good dupe: Max Factor Color Elixir Lipstick in Pink Brandy.

Now that we’ve covered some of the go-to lipstick colors of the Royal family, we can’t finish without giving you one more makeup tidbit.Another makeup rule the women adhere to is no touch-ups in view.You will rarely, if ever, see one of the Royals touching up their lip color in front of a camera.Queen Elizabeth seems to be the only one who got away with public touch-ups.Source: Cheat Sheet [ News11 seconds ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/news/kate-middleton-lipstick-the-royals-lip-color-preferences-and-exact-lipstick-shades/) Kate Middleton Lipstick: The Royals’ Lip Color Preferences and Exact Lipstick Shades [ Lifestyle1 min ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/lifestyle/expend4bles-review-a-few-of-the-old-boys-are-back-now-joined-by-megan-fox-but-the-series-appeal-feels-increasingly-expendable/) ‘Expend4bles’ Review: A Few of the Old Boys Are Back, Now Joined by Megan Fox, but the Series’ Appeal Feels Increasingly Expendable [ Finance3 mins ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/finance/5-stocks-gurus-are-pampering-their-pets-with/) 5 Stocks Gurus Are Pampering Their Pets With [ News4 mins ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/news/biden-announces-325-million-military-aid-package-during-a-white-house-meeting-with-zelenskyy/) Biden announces $325 million military aid package during a White House meeting with Zelenskyy [ News7 mins ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/news/biden-un-speech-no-ukraine-compromise-negotiation/) Biden UN speech: no Ukraine compromise, negotiation [ Politics1 week ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/politics/republican-lawmakers-pass-millions-in-new-funding-for-crisis-pregnancy-centers-as-democrats-push-back/) Republican lawmakers pass millions in new funding for crisis pregnancy centers as Democrats push back [ Wellness1 week ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/wellness/how-your-familys-health-history-can-help-you-address-heart-issues/) How Your Family’s Health History Can Help You Address Heart Issues [ Wellness1 week ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/wellness/victoria-monet-on-how-a-difficult-birth-influenced-her-new-album-jaguar-ii/) Victoria Monét on How a Difficult Birth Influenced Her New Album, ‘Jaguar II’ [ Wellness1 week ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/wellness/3-things-to-do-when-travelers-diarrhea-is-ruining-your-life/) 3 Things to Do When Traveler’s Diarrhea Is Ruining Your Life [ Sport1 week ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/sport/football-managers-transfer-spend-revealed-as-chelsea-bosses-dominate-top-ten/) Football managers’ transfer spend revealed as Chelsea bosses dominate top ten [ News11 seconds ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/news/kate-middleton-lipstick-the-royals-lip-color-preferences-and-exact-lipstick-shades/) Kate Middleton Lipstick: The Royals’ Lip Color Preferences and Exact Lipstick Shades [ Finance3 mins ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/finance/5-stocks-gurus-are-pampering-their-pets-with/) 5 Stocks Gurus Are Pampering Their Pets With [ News7 mins ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/news/biden-un-speech-no-ukraine-compromise-negotiation/) Biden UN speech: no Ukraine compromise, negotiation [ News9 mins ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/news/bruins-training-camp-takeaways-poitras-plays-with-pastrnak-early-look-at-bruising-fourth-line/) Bruins training camp takeaways: Poitras plays with Pastrnak, early look at bruising fourth line [ News39 mins ago ](https://newyorkfolk.com/news/virgin-river-stars-alexandra-breckenridge-and-martin-henderson-share-a-close-bond-in-real-life-not-just-on-set/) ‘Virgin River’ Stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson Share a Close Bond in Real Life, Not Just on Set Trending – Tech16 hours ago More layoffs at Outreach: Seattle sales software startup cuts 12% of staff – News23 hours ago EXCLUSIVE: Danny Masterson’s wife Bijou Phillips ditches her wedding ring as she’s seen smiling and laughing with a pal in LA – just two days after filing for divorce from jailed rapist – Finance24 hours ago Chip Stock Ready For Make-Or-Break Week – Tech20 hours ago OpenAI Shoehorns ChatGPT into New DALL-E 3 Because Why Not?
