Bobbi Brown Identifies Hannah Martin as Artist Behind Princess Kate’s Wedding Makeup, Ending 14-Year Rumor

The correction stems from her memoir disclosure, reinforced by a podcast interview naming Hannah Martin.

Overview

  • Brown said on the Sept. 29 Breaking Beauty podcast, and in her September memoir Still Bobbi, that Kate did not do her own makeup and that Hannah Martin applied it.
  • She confirmed the bride wore Bobbi Brown Cosmetics for the April 29, 2011 ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
  • Brown explained the brand did not claim credit in 2011 because public acknowledgment of royal clients was not considered appropriate then.
  • She noted receiving a thank-you message via royal correspondence recognizing appreciation for the makeup.
  • Reports also highlight the wider glam team, including hair stylists James Pryce and Richard Ward, for a wedding watched by an estimated 160 million viewers worldwide.
