Many theorize that Kate did her own bridal makeup for her wedding to Prince William – but now this rumor has been cleared up once and for all.
On April 29, 2011, millions of people couldn't tear their eyes away from their televisions – the royal wedding of Catherine, Princess of Wales, 43, and Prince William, 43, captivated royal fans. Naturally, everyone paid attention to her wedding dress, about which no detail was spared. However, her makeup remained a mystery until now. That the products were from Bobbi Brown was never a secret. But whether the legendary makeup artist herself did the makeup for the future Duchess, or whether Kate even did it herself, remained unclear – until now. Bobbi Brown herself is a guest on the podcast "Breaking Beauty" and finally sheds light on the matter.
... Catherine, Princess of Wales: Interview Reveals Her Bridal Makeup
American Bobbi Braun not only studied theatrical makeup and photography, but is also one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. With her makeup brand—which she later sold—she sparked a beauty revolution. In the podcast, the conversation turned to the royal wedding of 2011, about which she said:
"I didn't do her makeup. I wish I had."
Does this mean that all the rumors about Catherine doing her own makeup on her big day are true? Unfortunately not—because Bobbi reveals in the interview that one of her makeup artists, Hannah Martin, did the British princess's makeup. According to her, the palace thanked her for this service with a letter, which she says still hangs in her office, expressing "how much they appreciated the makeup."
