Earl Spencer's daughter Kitty Spencer at the Royal Wedding


I'm glad I didn't miss this image in the Telegraph of Earl Spencer's daughters. In particular Kitty Spencer who I made up for the Royal Wedding. The request came at the last minute and I have to thank Ailsa Miller at Tatler for putting my name forward- How amazing to take part in getting one of the guests ready for the big day.
We met bright and early at Simon Warwick's Hair Salon and my brief so far had been along the lines of a nude colour palette to match the dress.
I prepped Kitty's beautiful skin with Shu Uemura moisturizing essence and went over with an extra layer of Vaishaly's moisturizing cream, waited for that to settle in for a few seconds, then applied Laura Mercier's oil free primer.
I evened out Kitty's skin with Givenchy's photoperfection light foundation in light gold and bobby brown's colour corrector in bisque under the eyes. Next, a light dusting of shu Uemura translucent loose powder over the T-zone and Laura Mercier's brightening powder under the eyes to set the bobby brown corrector.
To fill in the eyebrows I used Givenchy's brow & eye prisme (you can use any of the colours on either brows or eyes)and I applied Laura Mercier's metallic cream eyeshadow in Platinum all over the eye as a base. In order to redefine the eye lid and socket I applied a mix of Laura Mercier eyeshadow In gilt and one of the colours from the Givenchy Brow and eye Prisme, Laura mercier cake eyeliner in black ebony underneath and above the lash line as well as a trace of it on the bottom lashes. Next we went for Mac eyelashes to give her look for a glamorous finish. I warmed up her skin with Nars bronzer in Laguna, adding shimmer and shine on the cheeks and cheek bones with Pixi's liquid shimmer and Giorgio Armani's bronze liquid Shimmer on the apples of the cheeks.
I lined Kitty's lips with Givenchy Lip pencil No.3 & added Rose Caprice lipstick also by Givenchy.
