“If you dream it, you can do it”, and on this phrase Walt Disney is not the only one to have built an empire. Bit, after bit, with patience and knowing how to wait, Camilla Parker Bowles, for better or for worse, his kingdom has conquered him and how. And not metaphorically. It took her three decades to become Prince Charles’ official wife, four to be accepted by her Majesty and, even (and we never would have said it), by the British people. The same, to say you, that since 1997 you have at home cushions, cups, tea towels and memorabilia of all kinds with the effigy of Lady Diana.
It is never too late to be a beauty reference
We underline, however, that Camilla, born Shand on July 17, 1947, a 75 years old, still, of course, she is defeated by the confrontation with the Princess of Wales. And that of “Princess of Wales” is the only title that perhaps the future queen consort did not obtain after the royal wedding, in respect to Diana. But what this tenacious woman has achieved over time is that she has become an esteemed member of the Royal family. Even for her choices of her style, even in terms of beauty, so much so that, especially after Meghan Markle took off the game, she was even pointed out as beauty icon ageless.
The bouncy and scaled helmet is his signature
From being considered sloppy and careless to a refined reference point for overs: the work on the image of Camilla, as a historical lover and then wife since 2005 of the heir to the British throne, began decades ago. To build a positive and even elegant version of herself, she turned to a style consultant and a talented hairstylist who worked on her in tandem. Specifically, to be changed first was her hairstyle. Now Camilla has scaled hair and bouncy, soft, which adds volume to the face that she blows every day. The cut, however, has remained almost identical over the decades: a fluffy bob with flicked ends and curtain fringe, while the color, thanks to the team of professionals of the elegant Jo Hansford salon in London, has changed (never abandoning the blond) switching from the classic blonde to increasingly lighter shades. Until you get to pearl of recent years with cold and precious reflections, an extremely elegant nuance that plays with the reflections of light.
The makeup, fresh nude effect
AlsoCamilla’s make-up, entrusted to the hands of make-up artist Julia Biddlecombe, today appears sophisticated and suitable for her age: a touch of mascara and the inevitable lipstick, returned to her cosmetic bag now that the masks have been set aside a bit. The Duchess wears it on important occasions, passing from pink to coral shades. And she is even more sympathetic to us since at an event, some time ago, she was immortalized with lipstick stained teeth. But that made her one of us!
Anti-aging oriented skincare
Finally, Camilla is very attentive to skincare. Not only did she quit smoking in 2001, but, being a supporter of a green beauty approach, she always opts for sustainable and ethical choices. Her beauty routine has an anti-aging effect: the Duchess to show off her complexion with a natural radiant glow, definitely focuses on hydration. Regardless of whether serums, masks and creams are part of his skincare routine or not, he most likely relies on formulations with energetic ingredients. Furthermore, she has always avoided cosmetic surgery: it is said that she is addicted to the anti-aging cosmetics with bee venom by Deborah Mitchell, a celebrity skin expert based in London.
