Bobbi Brown Corrects Record on Kate’s 2011 Wedding Makeup, Credits Artist Hannah Martin

Brown says industry etiquette kept her company from claiming the royal look at the time.

Overview

  • Brown made the clarification in interviews tied to her new memoir and on the Breaking Beauty podcast, identifying Hannah Martin as the makeup artist.
  • She confirmed the Princess of Wales wore Bobbi Brown Cosmetics on the day, though application was handled by the brand’s U.K.-based artist.
  • Brown recounted texting with Martin during the wedding after being told to set an alarm to watch the ceremony.
  • She keeps a note from the royal household thanking her for the makeup, though it was not sent directly by the princess.
  • Reports also spotlight the hair team of James Pryce and Richard Ward, who created the half-up curls following extensive prep the night before and morning of the wedding.
