Over the years, we’ve come to expect a certain standard from royals.
In fact, we rarely see them with a hair out of place.
Skirts and dresses are always a respectable length, hats are perfectly positioned, and legs are daintily crossed.
Indeed, even royal mascara has been known to run on occasion.
Camilla wore a pale pink embellished gown for the semi-official event in London, which she hosted alongside Charles.
However, the soft pastel ensemble did nothing to compliment her makeup choices, and vice versa.
What looks great at home under warm lighting can look totally different in the harsh light of day.
The outfit may have earned high marks, but Catherine’s makeup left much to be desired.
While her brows and eye makeup were on point, Catherine’s contour looked wildly overdone.
Although this makeup blunder was difficult to miss, it wasn’t the main attraction.
At the time, Kate was a big fan of black eyeliner on both her top and bottom lashes.
The sharp line around her eyes makes her look hard.
Either she should be smudgy or wear none."
She paired an unremarkable shade of lipstick with smudged, poorly done eyeliner.
What’s more, her under-eye area was also very creased, suggesting they were neglected or improperly set.
And the late queen fell into a very common trap throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Elizabeth was never one for dramatic eye makeup or a red lip, often preferring subtle pink shades instead.
In 2023, Sophie attended one of the royal family’s biggest days out, Royal Ascot.
Her gorgeous yellow dress was perfect for Ascot, as was her Jackie O-style hat.
However, Sophie’s makeup let her down by detracting from her impeccable style.
Her poorly-blended eyeshadow creased and smudged against her upper eyelid, making her face look messy and unkempt.
There was also somewhat of a color clash, with her gray-mauve eyeshadow competing with the bold pink lip.
There were no clear winners here.
The last time Britain held a coronation was when Queen Elizabeth II became monarch exactly 70 years earlier.
The spotlight was on the entire House of Windsor, but especially on the senior royals.
Thankfully, eyes were largely drawn to her ivory floral headband.
Catherine donned a stunning black-and-white coat dress to the engagement, and her brunette tresses contained subtle highlights.
Catherine’s heavy eye makeup only served to further highlight the lack of color in her cheeks.
The blotchy software created stand-out patches across her cheeks.
However, she went for a barely-there shade of pink instaed, which drained her features of color.
Diana’s foundation seemed one-dimensional and limp, too.
When she attended the Bisham Abbey National Sports Center, Kate Middleton looked a little less vibrant than usual.
A few shades darker and it could’ve been a totally different story.
Let this be a lesson: Color matching is important, kids.
Sometimes, however, her makeup doesn’t match her vibrant personality, which does her a huge disservice.
