Kate Middleton’s Timeless Beauty Looks

The Duchess of Cambridge, aka Kate Middleton, aka Princess Shinylocks, turns 34 today — and she has plenty to celebrate beyond her consistently glossy brunette hair. In the past year, she gave birth to her second child, Princess Charlotte, and spoke all over the UK about the importance of mental health care for children. But the busy royal, known for making dresses sell out in stores and emerging from the hospital with a blowout after giving birth, has accepted her life of media scrutiny with grace and a thousand-watt smile. Her Royal Highness has a relatively low-maintenance beauty look, in spite of the pressures of her job. She famously did her own makeup for her own wedding day — including her favorite heavy black eyeliner — and rarely wears a fancy updo, keeping her hair straight and simple. Here are some of her most iconic and timeless beauty looks.
