Kate Middleton is known for her iconic sense of royal style, but very little is officially known about the Duchess of Cambridge’s beauty routine.

The duchess was photographed pulling out a tube of Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector, which costs $26 but was sold out on the Clarins website on Friday. It appears she opted for a subtle pale-pink shade called Rose Shimmer.

The gloss contains shea butter and mango extract and what the brand describes as “a delicate vanilla scent.” It has 4 1/2 stars on Ulta Beauty’s site, with positive reviews calling it “great for a ‘no make-up’ look.”

The Rose Shimmer shade was sold out online at most major retailers on Friday, proving that the “Kate effect” is still in full force.
