Royal family members spend quite a bit of time in the public eye.
While Eugenie’s fashion sense has clearly improved over time, so have her makeup preferences.
Still, there are better ways to pull off pared-down, easy breezy makeup than others.
In some ways, this was a nice departure from her usual beauty routine.
It was also nice to see her going for a more drastic brow.
In her defense, darker, thicker, and more angular brows were certainly on-trend back in 2018.
A no-makeup makeup look can be a total win if done right.
The problem is that it’s not always easy to get right.
Eugenie sported a bit of a smokey eye with dark smudged liner.
She paired it with little if any foundation and lip color.
She also seemed to have no contour or blush on.
This made Eugenie look somewhat dull and undone.
Sometimes Eugenie’s love of liner works for her, and sometimes it doesn’t.
Lining your entire eye with eyeliner can close your eyes in and make them look smaller.
This acted to draw attention to her eyes in the wrong way and alter their shape.
Sometimes they’re too bold and over-filled, while other times, they look sparse and too light.
For this reason, when your eyebrows don’t look their best, your makeup will likely follow suit.
And, we’ve seen this happen with Eugenie time and time again.
In 2013, Eugenie attended Ladies Day at Royal Ascot with brows that looked particularly undone.
This drew attention to her eyes and left her whole face looking messy and mismatched.
She wore a wild sequin skirt with black tights, a babydoll top, and a silver jacket.
Unfortunately, she didn’t stop there and chose to also match her massive fake eyelashes.
Needless to say, Eugenie’s pink lashes are way too large and totally over-the-top.
