Kate Middleton’s wedding lipstick was discontinued — but we found the 15 best dupes
We’ve rounded up the best lipsticks on the market to recreate Kate Middleton’s wedding day shade.
It's been more than 10 years since the royal wedding of the now Prince and Princess of Wales took place, but the event still lives rent free in our minds. From Kate Middleton’s iconic Alexander McQueen gown to her allegedly self-done makeup, we likely won't stop thinking about it any time soon.
In case you're curious about recreating Kate's wedding day makeup for yourself, we have some bad news: her wedding day lipstick (Bobbi Brown’s Sandwash Pink) has been sadly discontinued. A newer version of Bobbi Brown's Luxe Lipstick in Pink Cloud is relatively comparable, though it does have a more coral undertone and a glossier finish than the supposed royal favourite.
That's why we’ve rounded up some of the best lip products on the market from other top beauty brands like Sephora Collection, MAC and Charlotte Tilbury that closely resemble Middleton’s wedding day shade.
From lipsticks to lip balms, these princess-inspired top picks are great dupes if you're looking to recreate Middleton's look — plus, they're a must-have for any occasion!
