Famously adventurous with her wardrobe and her make-up bag, Princess Diana loved a swipe of vivid blue eyeliner. โ€œShe loved make-up,โ€ Greenwell told Yahoo Beauty. โ€œIt wasnโ€™t to the point of going from green eyeshadow to blue eyeshadow, but just experimenting with ways to bring her eyes out more.โ€

โ€œShe loved to exaggerate her gorgeous eyes and wear loads of mascara,โ€ Greenwell adds. But the blue liner phase was sadly short-lived, after Princess Diana was encouraged to adopt a more demure look.

Refinery29 reports that Greenwell and the Princess agreed that โ€œbeiges and browns are just so much prettier.โ€

โ€œShe felt no need to be showy, so she kept her make-up subtle and appropriate for the occasion,โ€ Greenwell says.
