<p id=”par-2_77″>It was a grand affair at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, when the future king married his longtime girlfriend. Kate arrived in a Rolls-Royce, wearing an ivory lace gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, while William, in the uniform of the Irish Guards, greeted guests inside the abbey. In addition to members of the royal family, many international dignitaries and plenty of celebrities were on hand to witness the couple say, “I do.” </p>

<p id=”par-4_28″>For years, it was reported that Kate did her own makeup for the wedding. That is until legendary makeup artist Bobbi Brown revealed that was not the case.</p>
<p id=”par-5_44″>In her 2025 memoir titled <em>Still Bobbi: A Master Class in Leading an Authentic Life</em>, Brown debunked that myth and confirmed that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/royal-commentator-says-husbands-should-not-prince-william-kate-middleton-public-avoid-tension.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Prince William’s wife</a> “wore Bobbi Brown Cosmetics on her wedding day, and one of my makeup artists in England did her makeup.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_41″>“I was obsessed with the royal family, so this was a huge honor, as well as evidence that my concept of beauty had impacted the world,” Brown wrote per <a href=”https://www.today.com/popculture/kate-middleton-wedding-makeup-bobbi-brown-rcna234767″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TODAY</a>. “It was hard to believe how far makeup had taken me.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_32″>On her <a href=”https://www.tiktok.com/@breakingbeautypodcast/video/7555593868327095568″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>Breaking Beauty</em></a> podcast, Brown elaborated, “I did not do (Kate’s) makeup. I wish I did. It was one of my artists, Hannah Martin, whose become quite a sensation in the U.K.”</p>
