For her wedding day in 2011, Kate reportedly topped the lipstick with Bobbi Brown Sheer Colour Lip Gloss for a little added sheen.

While Duchess Catherine seems to prefer dusky pink as her signature color, Meghan Markle's go-to is more of a brown shade—Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution in Very Victoria, to be exact.
