real romance it's beautiful being a member of the royal family means posing for photos a lot of photos so how do they always manage to look nearly flawless some of their tips are so simple we can't wait to try them out it's easy to get caught up in some of the fancy over-the-top outfits the royal women tend to wear how many of us ever have an excuse to wear a tiara but when it comes to doing their makeup you might notice that most of the time the women wear simple neutral looks and that's no coincidence in addition to having their share of royal duties Kate Middleton and Megan Marco are also wives and mothers and it's safe to say they have their hands full so when it comes to getting ready to say cheese they have mastered the natural looking no makeup makeup look the heavily contoured Instagram aesthetic may look awesome in photos but even kylie jenner admits it doesn't always translate to real life a more natural look is not only easier and quick to apply but it looks great in person or from behind a camera lens Kate Middleton's look is always on point and she doesn't need a team of makeup artists to pull it off in fact she even did her own makeup on her wedding day now that's bold she stuck to the basics and made great use of her simple and understated Bobbie Brown makeup although Princess Eugenie opted to have an artist assist her on her big day she also benefited from some subtle Bobbie Brown shades a natural look is always classic and avoids the issue of looking back at photos and wondering what were you thinking megan Markel has always embraced the less-is-more philosophy when it comes to makeup and she loves showing off her gorgeous freckles the Duchess of Sussex admits she uses primer on her face to give her a smooth complexion without going overboard when she does use foundation she only adds some where it's absolutely needed but having a pretty face is only half the battle when it comes to taking the perfect picture a lot of it comes down to being able to properly pose your face and body when looking at the camera the full-on face shot is often the least attractive when the Duchess of Cambridge looks at the camera she usually tilts her face to the side accentuating her jawline and making her face appear slimmer while Megan Marco has mastered this move as well she usually looks directly at the camera while Kate tends to look away more often than not body language experts say this could be because Kate has a more reserved personality while Megan is used to posing for photos meant to be shared on social media and of course both Kate and Megan know there's no better way to look great in a photo than to smile but Megan takes this a step further by doing facial exercises the duchess admits it may sound a little silly but she swears they make her cheekbones and jaw look way more sculpted than they would otherwise does this count as hitting the gym but while Kate tilts her face to the side she always makes sure to point her shoulders at the camera this month helps show off her good posture and gives her body a long and lean appearance but nobody is perfect all the time when Kate isn't actively posing she sometimes slips into a move known as the mom hunched basically it happens when you're not used to being pregnant and your body has to get used to not having a great weight in your abdomen it's totally normal but we pointed out so we can see the difference it makes when you slouch versus when you stand up straight let's talk about an important tool in the Royal Women's Arsenal the duchess slant no it's not a cool new dance move it's a proper style of sitting to pull off the perfect duchess slant you lay one leg across the other from knee to ankle and cross one ankle over the other it may sound simple but it's used by pretty much all women in the royal family it helps prevent potentially embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions and it translates well to photos you definitely won't see the women of the royal family slouching when they sit holding your body straight makes you appear longer and leaner and helps you get the perfect picture now that we know the proper way to pose your face and legs what about your hands if you've ever been unsure what to do with your hands in a photo you're definitely not alone but the Royal women have a trick to making sure they don't end up looking awkward instead of using purses they tend to carry clutches instead this gives them something to hold on to and helps them look more natural and relaxed you can really see this when you catch them standing next to a man with to hold and there's another great reason to choose a clutch over a handbag even the most perfectly polished outfit runs the risk of an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction if a Dutchess is rising out of a seat leaning over or getting out of a car there's a chance she might end up showing more cleavage than she intends but by pressing her clutch to her chest she can ensure that doesn't happen Megan Markel seems to be embracing this multi-purpose accessory but slowly more often than not she just chooses a handbag with a really small handle hey whatever works but the Dutchess of Sussex says she knows the ultimate trick to looking great in pictures a good night's sleep okay so maybe getting in a tight eight hours every single night isn't realistic but don't worry because Megan's got you covered she says looking well-rested is the key to glowing in photos and she has some tricks to help you get the look even when you're totally exhausted the key is to open up your eyes and the Duchess does that by applying a highlighter to the inner corners of them when she was working on suits she often got an early start to the day and that's where she learned this handy little makeup secret another tip from the Duchess is to make sure your eyelashes are properly curled before leaving the house even if you don't have the time or the energy to apply mascara Megan says curly lashes make your eyes look wider and make you seem well-rested but even with a barely there makeup routine nobody looks perfect all the time which is why these royal women know the value in being able to freshen up princess eugenie admits she often finds herself adjusting her makeup while riding in the car which saves her time and keeps her looking fresh of course you definitely shouldn't try this unless someone else is driving and even then be careful with the mascara wand Megan Markos secret is carrying around a bottle of tea tree oil in her bag she admits it might not be glamorous but she says it helps on small cuts minor zits and even mosquito bites Kate Middleton has an amazing tip for looking perfectly pristine and it's one you might not have noticed before although the Duchess of Cambridge is often spotted with her hair down she does pull it back on occasion most of us know the pain of an updo gone wrong but that's something Kate doesn't have to worry about if you look closely in many photos of her where her hair is done you'll see that she's actually wearing a hairnet they're not just for people working in kitchens even the Duchess of Cambridge wears them you can get them in colors to match your hair and they help hold everything in place in addition to being barely noticeable Megan's hair style is a bit different than Kate's but it's no less flattering when she needs to freshen things up she works with her natural texture by flipping her hair over and spritzing on a little bit of texturing spray the flip gives her hair a little bit of extra bounce and the spray keeps her looking camera-ready she even has a simple solution for dreaded flyaways the Duchess takes a boar bristle toothbrush applies a little bit of hairspray and comes them down paying special attention to her hairline according to her it's the best way to keep the sleekest bun possible when it comes to your nails a neutral look is all the better if you're a member of the royal family yes they're not supposed to wear bright colors per the Queen but these neutral manis have the added benefit of being very flattering they make fingers look longer and it's more difficult to see any imperfections or small chips in the Polish even the Queen follows this tip and her favorite is Essie's polish in ballet slippers Kate Middleton followed her example and wore a mixture of ESI's allure and bourgeoise rose lounge on her wedding day there might be rules about which nail polishes are acceptable but one of the most common royal rules isn't actually a rule at all the general public makes a big deal about it whenever Meghan Markel is seen walking around without any tights on but there are definitely some bonuses to wearing tights and you'll rarely see the Duchess of Cambridge without them the right tights can be really flattering and make your legs appear longer and more slender they also help smooth out any lumps and bumps that might show up under your outfit but just because she passes on tights from time to time doesn't mean Meghan's legs don't look great she believes in keeping her skin moisturised at all times and her top lotion pick is surprisingly affordable the Duchess of Sussex says her favorite lotion on the market is Nivea skin firming hydration body lotion which you can find right at Ulta even though the women of the royal family all have their own sense of style they know to go with what works for them the Queen loves to wear bright colors because they may her stand out in a crowd everyone wants to see Queen Elizabeth and she knows what it takes to get noticed she's even joked that people wouldn't recognize her if they saw her in beige but whether the other women take the cues from the Queen and go for an attention-grabbing color or not they make sure their outfits are either bright or subdued instead of trying to mix both Kate Middleton takes color coordination to a whole new level by dressing her whole family and how fits that complement each other it might make getting ready in the morning a little bit more complicated but it also makes the inevitable Family Photos look even better but sometimes at the end of a long day filled with royal duties these women just want to relax when they're not in front of the cameras but they know that they're going to have to get up and do it all again the next day so they don't have time to slack off Princess Eugenie says no matter how tired she is she makes sure to wash her face before going to bed Megan Markel admits to keeping Cleansing Cloths in the nightstand so she can at least wipe her face clean if nothing else which member of the royal family do you think has the best tips on looking fierce in photos do you have any of your own
