Kate Middleton is serving us some serious sunshine envy on her Caribbean royal tour. Although her visit might be for business, she’s mixing the trip with a bit of pleasure by the looks of her makeup.
Swapping her matte winter foundation for a glowy base, Kate is exuding radiance and youth. It also looks like she’s opting for more summer-appropriate blusher and bronzer tones, adding extra dimension and warmth to her skin.
While we won’t wait with baited breath for Kate to reveal her tour beauty kit, since royals are very hush-hush when it comes to naming their preferred brands, we can take inspiration from the types and tones of makeup she’s using for our own spring-ready beauty looks – perfect timing for this week’s sunshine!

This special collector's edition of OK! looks inside the hidden tunnels at Buckingham Palace, the spectacular gardens at Highgrove, the Cambridges' town and country retreats and the cosy Welsh bolthole loved by Charles and Camilla.

Plus, discover the history and hauntings of the residences and how you can holiday on the royal estate.

If you fancy giving Kate's tour looks a try for yourself, here’s what we recommend shopping to get a very similar effect…
REFY Cream Blush, £14 here
Kate is a big fan of blush in general, then adds glow with a highlighter. For this tour, we’d guess she’s dabbing on a generous layer of cream blush. If you’re looking to shop one in a similar tone, we’d recommend REFY’s offering in the blossom pink, Kate-like Rose shade.
VIEVE Eye Wand, £21 each here
We recently reported that it looked like Kate had been taking inspiration from Victoria Beckham with a January royal engagement eye look. This led us to think that Kate had been giving eye crayons a go, considering how beautifully smudgy her upper and lower eyelids looked.
If the Duchess is loving these simple-to-use eye sticks, we’d hazard a guess that she’s also packed a few shades for this tour. Copy Kate daytime-perfect neutral tone with the shade Camel of this VIEVE stick.
NARS Natural Radiant Long-Wear Foundation, on sale for £28 here
There’s a reason that many celebrities rave about this foundation. It’s the go-to kit essential for makeup artists, thanks to its long-wear, anti-crease abilities – and for the fact it offers a good amount of coverage but with a radiant effect. It’s also the perfect match for the type of glowy base Kate is wearing on the tour.
NYX Professional Makeup Bare with Me Concealer, £11 here
It’s hot and humid where Kate is, so a crease-proof concealer is likely to be one of the products she thought about packing first. The Duchess is said to love Bobbi Brown, even choosing the brand for her own wedding day makeup, but if you’re looking for a long-lasting concealer for less, our own beauty director Lynne can’t recommend this £11 version enough.
Benefit 24Hr Invisible Brow Setter in Clear, from £13 here
Eyebrows are a big part of Kate’s beauty look. She’s been wearing her arches in a thicker, more laminated-looking style since the end of last year, and this tour is no different. To make sure her brow powder or pencil doesn’t slip in the heat, we’d hazard a guess that Kate is using something punchy to set the finished look in place.
