The Duchess of Cambridge is the No. 1 beauty inspiration for women in Britain, according to a survey by beauty e-tailer Feel Unique. Thirty percent of those surveyed said they preferred to buy products used by the former Kate Middleton, compared with 15 % who said they preferred to go with model Kate Moss, who ranked second, and 12 % who would opt for Victoria Beckham, No. 3 in the poll.
