If you’re looking to recreate Kate Middleton’s fresh, glowing appearance, than one brand she has in her beauty bag is said to be Bobbi Brown.
On her wedding day to Prince William in 2011, the Glossary reported that the Princess of Wales wore the firm’s Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation. While this sadly now discontinued, there is another similar option that might be worth checking out.
It’s the Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin Foundation SPF15 that is said to provide “near identical coverage” to the one wore by Kate on her big day. Even better, it’s currently enjoying a neat discount at Boots, despite Black Friday officially being over.

The health and beauty chain is offering up to 30 percent off premium beauty, with a 30ml bottle of this “fantastic” foundation being reduced from £43 to £34.40. Meanwhile, both Lookfantastic and ASOS stock it at full-price, so nab the Boots deal while you can.
Suitable for all skin tones and types, this long-wear foundation is said to provide all-day hydration and wear that lasts for “24 hours”. It uses a tri-moisture complex that boasts nourishing ingredients hyaluronic acid, glycerine and honey extract to provide a “slight glow”.
The Smart Skin Balancing Technology also helps to control oil and shine, leading to a non-greasy appearance. Its “silky” texture provides a lightweight, buildable formula that provides a “natural matte finish that looks like skin, not make-up.”
Averaging an impressive 4.3 rating based on multiple reviews from Boots customers, the Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin Foundation has impressed beauty fans who say it “glides onto the skin” and provides “perfect” coverage that lasts all day.
One shopper praised: “Perfect daily weightless coverage. This is just bang on! The coverage and glow it gives is great for every day and it’s lasting power is fab. The colour range is also so helpful (as a summer tanner!).”
A second five-star review read: “Beautiful foundation. Perfect coverage that does last all day. It’s a matte finish but still leaves the skin healthy looking with a slight glow. I personally didn’t need to apply concealer using this product. Would highly recommend this foundation.”
A third positive shopper penned: “Smooth foundation with excellent coverage. Silky smooth consistency.”
Someone else said of the foundation: “This foundation glides onto the skin beautifully. Feels lightweight, yet covers imperfections and still looks like skin! Doesn’t flare up my sensitive skin and is now my staple everyday foundation.”

Not everyone has a great experience with the foundation, as one three-star review read: “Glides on nicely, feels nice initially, but then separates off my skin after a few hours and looks really oily.”
