Princess Diana’s style is legendary but it's her youthful makeup hack we'll be copying
The secret behind Princess Diana's style and flawless skin, according to her Royal makeup artist

Princess Diana's style has long been the stuff of legend and is enjoying a renaissance thanks to Netflix drama The Crown Season 4. No more so than her most notable makeup looks.
From THAT blue eyeliner to a sophisticated, barely-there tint to the skin, The Crown will chart Diana's make-up transformation.
There are plenty of looks to recreate but it's this blush trick, as revealed by Lady Di's former make-up artist Mary Greenwell, that has us gripped.
There's nothing quite like a pop of pink or warm peach on the cheeks to make you look more energized and youthful. Something Greenwell knows only too well.
‘I never did Princess Diana’s make-up without adding a bit of blush to her face. It instantly made her look fresher,' she recounts.

While there isn't one singular place to wear it, the most age-defying placement, according to Greenwell, is slightly above your cheekbones.
'‘Placing it there looks like it’s part of your skin. It also lifts your cheekbones. I wouldn’t put blush on the apples of your cheeks as it draws the cheekbones down.’
The finishing touches would then be rose or nude lipstick.

A bit of concealer was added where needed and to disguise any dark shadows under the eyes. Then a blend of brown and taupe eyeshadow created a soft smoky effect.
In other words, looking effortlessly beautiful as Princess Diana always did.
