Taking a break from the heavy black eyeliner and her favorite bronzer, Pippa Middleton hit the streets without any makeup this week, surprising bystanders and onlookers. Is she prettier than Kate? View the slideshow to see more of Pippa's bare face and check out the comparison!

The younger sister of the duchess of Cambridge, who has been known to wear too much makeup, met their mother, Carole, for lunch in London and rocked a lovely fresh face for the casual meal. Without her orange glow and black rimmed eyes, Pippa unveiled her gorgeous skin under those layers of war paint and proved she doesn't need them.

The aunt-to-be of Britain's most famous unborn child has been known for her impressive backside, even having a lot of fan pages dedicated for it, but this time, she has quite created a buzz in her natural look.

The royal sister definitely looked younger and more vibrant in a white turtleneck sweater and patterned scarf as she spent quality time with her mother, who didn't look so bad either, probably even more stylish than her daughter at that time, in skinny pants, knee-high boots, and a furry vest.

Pippa has been photographed many times makeup-free, and she looks even more gorgeous every time. Does this mean she needs to skip her makeup routine?

Well, maybe just go a little easy on it, especially with her two BFFs, bronzer and black eyeliner, the duo that's causing her double trouble.

Meanwhile, besides catching up with people in her life, the 29-year-old party planner is keeping herself busy with a new writing gig as a columnist for Waitrose Kitchen, the in-house magazine of British supermarket chain Waitrose. Her monthly feature, dubbed as "Pippa's Friday Night Feasts," would impart "relaxed and easy entertaining ideas" to the masses across England.

"I'm delighted to be writing for Waitrose Kitchen, a magazine that's always been a source of inspiration to me, for its extensive spectrum of food and beautiful style. My column, 'Pippa's Friday Night Feasts' will be an exciting opportunity to share my own passion and enthusiasm for food and entertaining and I can't wait to get started," Pippa said in an interview.
