Beauty secrets of late Princess Diana

Princess Diana’s timeless elegance stemmed from her dedication to self-care, simple yet refined beauty habits, and a harmonious blend of glamour and genuineness, secrets that continue to inspire beauty routines around the world.

Diana maintained a simple yet disciplined skincare routine. She conscientiously cleansed, toned, and moisturised twice daily, and always removed her makeup at night. This commitment helped preserve her clear, radiant complexion.

According to her makeup artist, Mary Greenwell, Diana adopted moderation in all things, particularly reducing alcohol consumption, which she believed helped maintain her skin’s natural radiance. She also balanced her diet and lifestyle carefully, focusing on overall wellness rather than extreme measures.

Preferring a natural look, Diana often chose cream blush, applied gently to give a soft flush. She complemented this with understated lip shades, nude-pinks or blush tones that enhanced her elegance.

In her early years, Diana famously wore electric blue eyeliner and mascara, making her eyes pop and setting her apart. Later, under Greenwell’s guidance, who cautioned that “blue eyes should never wear blue pencil or shadow, it dulls your eyes”, she transitioned to subtler eye looks.

Diana always wore a signature scent, stating fragrance was the final element of her beauty routine. She preferred classic and beautiful fragrances that consumed her personality, fresh, floral and elegant. Her perfume selection was not casual but personal and she used to have the idea that the perfume is a reminder of her special moments or people she loved. These perfumes are still linked to her long-standing beauty and fashion even after her death.
