Saudi Princess Amira Al-Taweel Best Dressed at Prince William and Kate's Wedding

I’m sure many of you know of the Saudi Princess Amira Al-Taweel, which literally means “the tall princess”(yup that is her real name). The 26-year-old princess is the 4th wife of the global tycoon Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talaal, nephew to Saudi King Abdullah and the 13th wealthiest man in the world. She is one of the first Saudi royal ladies to step out with her husband in public and also to appear in public without her abaya or scarf. She is the Vice President of the Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal foundation, spends time helping and visiting sick children, orphans and abused women across the world. She also travels with her husband to meet world leaders to improve the image of Saudi Women. She is famous for openly saying that she would be the first to start driving in KSA.

Princess Amira is definetly a style icon with her glossy wavy black hair and bronze skin. At Prince William and Kate's wedding she was listed as the top 5 best dressed and for the best hair. In my opinion I think she was the best dressed, best makeup and best hair (Her hair reminded me of a Pantene Ad)! Overall, she looked STUNNING. Loved the custom made Zuhair Murad dress. She looked super elegant in a lace overcoat over a plain dress with a cute belt and bow. She accessorized with a gorgeous hat, clutch and satin pumps for a perfect outfit to fit the occasion.

Her hair and makeup was just amazing. I find a lot of Saudi girls and women don’t like to wear nude color lips. Its more of a tanned skin, bright lip color which has been the trend for a while now. But why not try some more natural colors?



Heres how to get her Look:

Face:

Chose a Face & Body Foundation to unify the complexion invisibly (MAC & Makeup Forever both have great ones). Apply it in small dabs only on the T-Zone. To get rid of dark circles and imperfections, use a matching concelar and pat on under your eyes and on any blemishes or marks try Studio Sculpt Concelar from MAC. Use a liquid concelar for a softer finish. Finish off with a pressed powder Try the Studio Fix powder from MAC (apply with a large powder brush instead of the sponge).

Eyes:

Apply a drop of a nude MAC Paint Pot on the eyelids to tone and unify the skin. Then, apply a few drops of Make up Forever's Lift concelar on the eyelids and brow bone to brighten the eyes. Make your eyes the main focus of this look and think Au Natural. Use a peachy pink eyeshadow to dust over your eyelid. Try expensive pink from MAC and use a very natural soft highlight try Shroom from MAC.

Use a liquid liner and thinly line your top lashes and use kohl inside the eyes. Finish off with a few layers of lengthening mascara. If you want your lashes to be thicker, dust some loose powder on your lashes before you put on your mascara.

Use a matte blush on your cheekbones. Smile and start at the apples of your checks and follow your check bone upwards towards your hairline. Try Melba from MAC which is a nice matte coral peach.

Eyebrows:

Brush the eyebrows with a soft brush combing the hair upwards. Then draw dots in the empty spaces with an eyebrow pencil (never go for black even if your hair is black. Try the darkest brown instead). Brush agin to blend and soften the effect.

Lips:

Go for a naturally pink lip by applying red lipstick all over your lips and blotting it all off on a tissue. Apply clear lipgloss on top. There you have an oh so natural soft pink lip!

This princess seems to have mastered the Art of Nude Beauty.
