Catherine, Princess of Wales, always looks gorgeous no matter what she’s doing. Whether it’s Trooping the Color or a royal walkabout, whenever she greets members of the public, Catherine looks put together.
But her royal polish didn’t happen overnight. From her early days in the spotlight, as a student at St. Andrew’s University, where she started dating Prince William, to the contemporary moment, Catherine underwent a dramatic style transformation.
Everything has changed as she’s climbed the ranks of royalty, from her hem length to her heel height, as well as a radical change in hairstyles, too.
Sure, she’s had a few fashion mishaps, but for the most part, Catherine has nailed a personal style that works for her and her role within the British monarchy.
Part of Catherine’s beauty transformation includes her use of makeup. As a solidified royal and the Princess of Wales, it’s tough to find a snapshot of her without makeup; Every glimpse of her is polished to the max.
In her earlier days, however, Catherine was more comfortable sporting a makeup-free look. Of course, it looks a little different from her picture-perfect style now, but it’s fresh and lovely. We have to say, she looks just as good without makeup as she does with it!
Back in April 2007, Catherine, Princess of Wales, joined the Sisterhood, an all-women’s rowing team. The team of women practiced on the Thames, in preparation for a race across the English Channel against an all-male team called the Brotherhood. The competition was in the name of charity, and Catherine, while training, was heavily photographed, both on land and on the boat, where she steered at the helm. Unfortunately, the late Queen Elizabeth II found the media frenzy around Catherine’s involvement with the Sisterhood to be too chaotic, and Catherine had to pull out of the actual race.
Nonetheless, we got some lovely photos of Catherine, makeup-free, when she was involved with the team. After all, the activity was so athletically demanding, that it makes sense that she kept her look simple and sporty.
