From her wedding day to her most recent royal engagements, Princess Kate has reminded very loyal to one makeup look: her signature pink and nude lip. While trends may come and go, the Princess of Wales knows what elegant tones work for her. Even as autumn rolls in and and beauty lovers reach for deeper berries and moody reds, Kate keeps things classically soft. Her go-to hues rarely stray far from the nude family – she simply tweaks the tone depending on the season. Think creamy beige-pinks for summer Wimbledon, rosewood nudes for crisp autumn walkabouts, and the occasional mauve or tawny pink when temperatures dip further.

Her picks are perfect for a member of the royal family. if you look back across history, subtlety is the key when it comes to their makeup choices. All of the royals looks have always been made to enhance their natural beauty, not distract. However, this doesn’t mean her choices are predictable. Look closely and you’ll notice she plays with texture: a satin finish for official duties, a hint of shimmer gloss for evening receptions, and the occasional matte moment for other engagements. Kate proves that a perfectly chosen nude is never boring – it’s just quietly confident and endlessly wearable. 

We’ve done some digging to find the products she has been spotted wearing and will likely wear again throughout autumn 2025.

The royal’s red jacket ensemble at the Together at Christmas Community Carol Service in 2021 will always be one of her most iconic looks. We loved the babydoll nude pink lipstick she paired it with.
