Queen Camilla\u2019s recent glow hasn’t gone unnoticed. Here at GH, we’ve been admiring it all morning. The Queen<\/a> looked absolutely radiant during an outing in Suffolk yesterday \u2014 and her glowing complexion is all the proof we need that a luminous makeup<\/a> finish is the most flattering approach for mature skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Queen Camilla\u2019s look is the epitome of refined elegance,\u2019 says leading makeup artist and brand founder Ruby Hammer<\/a>. \u2018She looks naturally effortless and pulled together without looking overdone.\u2019<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla looks absolutely radiant in new photos<\/p>\n

From her ageless brow trick<\/a> to her \u2018complexion brightening\u2019 lipstick<\/a> shade, Queen Camilla has given us no shortage of beauty inspiration in recent weeks. Now, recreating her healthy-looking glow has shot straight to the top of our beauty to-do list.<\/p>\n

As Ruby explains, a luminous complexion does more than simply look radiant \u2014 it also has anti-ageing<\/a> effects. \u2018Youthful skin naturally reflects light, so mimicking that with a glowing finish helps create the illusion of health and vitality. A luminous complexion is much more forgiving as it creates a soft-focus effect rather than settling into creases,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n

By contrast, she notes that matte finishes can be much less forgiving on mature skin. \u2018Matte formulas tend to do the opposite \u2014 they absorb light, creating contrast and shadows that draw attention to lines and texture.\u2019<\/p>\n

For a royal glow like Camilla\u2019s, it\u2019s all about getting your base<\/a> right. \u2018Always ensure you\u2019ve done adequate skin<\/a> prep,\u2019 says Ruby. She notes that age is not a skin type, so it\u2019s important to look for products with ingredients that address your skin\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n

When it comes to foundation and concealer, Ruby recommends following a \u2018less is more\u2019 approach. \u2018Choose a lightweight foundation to even out your skin tone, and if required, use a lightweight hydrating concealer under the eyes,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n

The glow is all in the skin prep and base makeup<\/p>\n

To really dial up your glow, cream and liquid formulas are your best allies. \u2018A cream blush and a liquid illuminator will tie that healthy, radiant glow together effortlessly,\u2019 says Ruby. Her own Ruby Hammer Cheek Colour<\/a> is a brilliant option here.<\/p>\n

The luminosity doesn\u2019t have to stop at your skin. In fact, Ruby recommends carrying that radiance through to the lips<\/a>. \u2018A satin colour is comfortable and hydrating, and the subtle sheen will catch the light without looking harsh, especially on thinner lips\u2019 she explains.<\/p>\n

If Queen Camilla\u2019s look is anything to go by, consider us influenced (and our matte products firmly pushed to the back of our makeup bags).<\/p>\n
