The Royal Wedding Make-up

Bobbi Brown make-up artist Hannah Martin provided make-up artistry assistance to members of the bridal party for the Royal Wedding.

It has been rumoured that Kate Middleton applied her own make-up for the big day. Apparently, the Duchess of Cambridge is really confident when it comes to her cosmetics.

Bobbi Brown has confirmed that members of the royal wedding party received “make-up artistry assistance” from company make-up artist Hannah Martin.

To emulate Kate’s look, the brand recommends items like ivory, metallic and slate eye shadow, black ink gel liner and three shades of pink blush, plus a pink lip colour topped with gloss.

Here's how to create royal-worthy wedding looks for the bride, maid of honour and mother of the bride, courtesy of Bobbi Brown:

3. Apply Rockstar Metallic Eye Shadow on the lower lid.

4. Blend Slate Eye Shadow into the crease.

5. Line upper and lower lash lines with Black Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, making sure that the top line is thicker than the bottom.
