Kate Middleton Named UK's Most Influential Beauty Icon, Obviously

Maybe it's because her beauty routine costs more than a brand new Audi A4

Hair
Hair that looks that good requires numerous salon visits. Kate visits the Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa for blowouts and a keratin infusion. At $75 a visit three times a week, that's $11,732 a year.

Her maintenance trims cost $242, so at 10 times a year that's $2,420.

And then there's her color: Believe it or not, Kate gets a little help in the rich, chocolate tone department. She adds color and gloss for $376 every six weeks, which makes $3,008 a year.

Makeup
Bobbi Brown is one of Kate's faves. BellaSugar estimates a year's worth of makeup (buying every two months), including Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation, $48, Sheer Color Lip Gloss, $17, Long Wear Gel Eyeliner, $22, Blush, $24, and Creamy Matte Lip Color, $24, would cost more than $900 a year.

Nails
Kate gets natural-looking manicures at the Jo Hansford Salon, where manicures cost $58 and pedicures set you back $76. A manicure and pedicure every two weeks costs almost $3,500 a year.

Skincare Products
Kate's devoted to Karin Herzog skincare. According to the brand's UK managing director, she uses Karin Herzog Professional Cleansing Cream, $50, the Vita-A-Kombi 1, $76, the Vita-A-Kombi 3 Spot Zapper, $32 and the Oxygen Face Cream, $54. Restocking these products every three months costs $848.

Tanning
It's rumored that Kate gets sunless tans, which cost $118 at her usual salon. Assuming she goes once every three weeks, that's $2,000 a year.

The Duchess of Cambridge just won the title of UK's most influential beauty icon, according to a recent survey, beating out both Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham. (Let's be real, there was no contest).

We all know Kate has a devoted fashion following. But her good looks are just as covetable. Proof: Thirty percent of women in the UK say they would buy the same beauty products as their duchess.

But with what money, ladies? We've compiled reports of her assorted beauty and hair expenses, and our final estimate of how much it costs Kate to look that cute is an absurd $31,200.

As much as I'd love to hate her for her extremely enviable budget, I still find her royal ways fascinating. Want to know exactly what it takes to get Kate's flowing hair, rosy makeup, glowing skin, and (I'm assuming) delightful scent? Click on ...
