HELLO's Laura Sutcliffe recreated the Duchess of Cambridge's classic BAFTAs beauty looks with a little help from Lancôme and Bulgari. Following on from Part 1 of our special series, here's what happened next...

For the second look, we picked Kate Middleton's appearance at the 2018 BAFTAs. Looking particularly regal, the brunette beauty glowed in her forest green dress by Jenny Packham and co-ordinating emeralds.

This look is classic glam Kate; she sported her signature bouncy blowdry which was full and voluminous. Kate's complexion was even more glowing than usual and she looked so fresh and dewy, sporting subtle pink cheeks and a rosy pink lip colour. Her eye makeup was very dramatic and daring. She rocked a delicate but statement dark brown smokey eye with black eyeliner in the waterline, lashings of mascara and a bold brow, and finished with rosy pink lips.

The eye makeup was really key to this look and extra time was spent to perfect the show-stopping smoky eye featuring a hint of khaki green. Fortunato used 'Le Stylo Waterproof Eyeliner #02' and #06 all over the lid and also in the waterline for maximum smoky impact.
