Forget matte bronzer, we're all about Kate Middleton's glowy wedding day shimmer - and it's on sale today
Kate Middleton loves this bronzer so much that she wore it on her wedding day - and it's discounted right now


The super radiant bronzer that Kate Middleton wore on her wedding day is a bargain buy right now thanks to an online discount.
The Princess of Wales has no doubt tried countless high-end beauty products in her time and we're sure her makeup collection is jam-packed with everything from the best mascaras on the market to the most incredible long-lasting lipsticks.
But flashback to April 2011 and the glowy bronzing powder that she loved so much she wore it on her wedding day clearly proved its power as she and Prince William tied the knot.
The bronzer responsible for Catherine's radiant and sun-kissed complexion on her big day speaks for itself when you look back at photos from the ceremony - and the product that gave her that lit-from-within shimmer was the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in the shade Bronze.
