The secret of Princess Leonor that only Letizia and her closest friends knew

A discreet revelation that surprises and shows how much the most watched figure of the new royal generation has changed

Leonor is no longer just the heir to the throne, but also a figure who's starting to define her own style. Every public appearance makes it clear that she commands a strong presence, but that she's in a transitional stage. Her image speaks of maturity, but also of personal decision.

Queen Letizia has been her greatest role model, both institutionally and personally. Between mother and daughter, there's a complicity that goes beyond the obvious. Now, there are details that they used to share only between themselves and a very close circle, and that have now come to light.

Leonor: the art of enhancing without exaggeration

During the ceremony in which Princess Leonor received the Gold Medal from Xunta de Galicia, she surprised with a subtle change. Her outfit was impeccable with her white uniform; however, what drew attention was her makeup. Although it was discreet, the focus was on her gaze, more defined than ever.

Without losing her natural look, she used a light foundation to keep her face fresh. The highlight was the black eyeliner along the lash line and the very intense mascara. Everything points to a creamy black pencil, applied with a brush to slightly elongate the outer corner of the eye.

The result of Leonor's makeup was a very subtle yet striking "cat eye" effect. The visor of her cap required a more defined look to stand out. The mascara completed the job, achieving defined, long, and separated lashes; the gesture was precise and strategic.

Letizia's advice, but with her own touch

The lower lashes were also made up, but very softly. This technique allows her eyes to open up more without overdoing the overall look. It's a small detail that transforms the final result and sets her apart from other appearances.

This style isn't new for those who know her well; Letizia, always alert to details, seems to have influenced this choice. Leonor is starting to forge her own path with confidence, and she's doing it without grand gestures, but with clear messages. Her image conveys approachability, but also firmness.

This little secret, which only her mother and her closest friends used to know, has now been revealed. It confirms that the princess not only learns, but is already starting to acquire her own styles.
