MAKEUP:
  • Stay away from harsh black eye make-up. Instead, opt for chocolate brown eye liner and mascara.
  • Keep the lips simple – clear lip gloss or chapstick with a little bit of a shine is all you need.
  • Use just a little bit of concealer to hide any blemishes or under-eye darkness, but don’t go crazy with foundation. Elena is all about the natural look.
  • For a more formal occasion, brush a gold or taupe color eye shadow across your eye lids – no crazy colors!

Kate's Clothing Style!!!! (very important) THINK natural beauty & traditional English brunette!! SIMPLE overall look, no fancy accessories, simple makeup and hair.
Beautiful crisp Trench Coats are a must, She likes her Neutral, Black, Royal Blue and Royal Red lately but in past times a short jacket jeans and a pair of brown boots were a common staple. For warmer weather she would opt for flowing feminie knee length and longer dress with sometimes a cardigan & sometimes facinators for more formal events. A key to her style is always keeping strictly to the weather and formality to the occasion.
