Having underwent a royal makeover in the weeks leading up to her wedding, Prince Charles' wife The Duchess of Cornwall is proving that her recent style evolution is an ongoing endeavour.
Accompanying the heir to the throne on a royal visit to Kemble Airfield in Gloucestershire, Camilla showed her softer side with a feminine springtime look. Her blonde hair in loose waves, the Duchess chose a pretty pink tweed suit – and matching soft rose lipstick – accesorised with pearl earrings for the occasion.
While 50-something women everywhere wonder the secret to Camilla's new glow, her make-up artist Julia B says that anyone can achieve the transformation. "With correct illumination, shimmer and highlighting," she says, "you can take ten years off."

The Duchess of Cornwall seems to have slipped comfortably into her new duties, receiving cheers and applause as she attended a Devon livestock event at the side of her husband Prince Charles.
Greeting members of the public with a smile, Camilla appeared to be getting accustomed to a busy royal schedule. And the newly-minted Duchess will see her agenda go into full swing soon as she joins the Queen at ceremonies marking the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar on June 28. Also on the Duchess' calendar in June are high profile events Royal Ascot and Trooping the Colour.
While apparently settling in to her new role, Camilla hasn't shed all aspects of her prior life. The Daily Mail reports that the royal has decided to keep Raymill House, her own home near Highgrove. While it was expected Camilla would sell the mansion, with the money put aside in trust for her two children, Tom and Laura Parker Bowles, it looks like the newlywed has had a change of heart.
A source tells the newspaper the Duchess is "infinitely more comfortable" at her longtime home, adding: "There are no servants and she feels she can relax more easily with her friends… She also feels that it is Tom and Laura's home, too. Somewhere they can come back to."
