Meghan Markle might be all over the news headlines these days ever since she got engaged to Prince Harry, but long before that the American actress had already to captivate hearts and souls with her brains, talent, and most astonishing beauty. We have all admired her performance in the USA legal drama Suits, where Meghan plays Rachel Zane, a fascinating woman that is not only beautiful and sexy but also boasts wit and intelligence. Although not everyone has been graced by genres the way Meghan has, she has kindly shared some of her favourite beauty products, you can also look like a princess-to-be.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Very Victoria
This is Meghan's favourite lipstick. Inspired by Victoria Beckham, the lipstick was devised by British beauty guru Charlotte Tilbury. After wearing this lipstick for the royal engagement photocall, this matte, dusty rose-tinted nue became increasingly popular. This lipstick is the perfect balance of a pink tone and brown nude, while the matte finish gives it a modern touch.
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment with SPF 15
She told Beauty Banter that the Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment with SPF 15 is one of the products she can't live without. “I have searched high and low and tried every kind of lip balm but this is the very best. Soft, kissable, buttery lips. I swear by it.”
Laura Mercier Illuminating Foundation Primer
Even with the pressure of marrying into royalty and her strenuous work, Meghan Markle manages to keep her skin radiant and glowing. She was that illuminating tone about her that defines her. Despite working hard, she always looks fresh and here is how she manages that look.
“I don't wear foundation unless I'm filming so this is what I put on every day after moisturiser to give my skin a dewy glow. It's not sparkly, it's try to its name… ‘Illuminating,'” Meghan Markle told Beauty Banter. You can find the primer in two shades, either bronze to get a tanning look or a pinkish pearlescent.
Laura Mercier's Radiance Foundation Primer is a lightweight creamy gel that reduces the look of imperfections and freshens up the makeup.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundations
Meghan Markle has confessed she is a fan of this luminous, silky fluid foundation, and she has one specific foundation rule she is loyal to. “Every time I'd do her make-up, she'd say ‘Can we just make sure my freckles are peeking through? I don't want a ton of foundation,'” her former MUA Lydia Sellers told Refinery 29.
Actually, Meghan has commented on how magazines always airbrush out her freckles and whiten her skin tone. She has commented that she'd rather they didn't because “a face without freckles is a night without stars.”
Fitted with micro fil technology, this oil-free foundation captures the glow of perfect looking skin. Its lightweight and smooth texture softly smoothes out the face tones all day and it gives the skin a healthy glow. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Cate Blanchett and Rashida Jones have admitted they wear this foundation.
Nivea Skin Firming Hydration Body Lotion
This cream is proven to tighten and soften the surface of skin and you can see the results in only two weeks. Hydra IQ technology hydrates the skin for more than 24 hours.
Meghan Markle told Beauty Banter: “I use this religiously. It's honestly my favourite lotion on the market, it's so affordable, and makes my skin look and feel amazing. I would buy a case of this at a time if I could find it.”
Hair product
“There are two lines I use religiously,” she told Beauty Banter. “Kerastase (masquintense & the oleo relax line) and Wella, which has a hair oil that I am obsessed with. It smells like vacation and makes your hair slippery and touchable. I love this stuff! It also doubles as a pretty amazing body oil post bath.”
Beauty Secret
Meghan Markle also shared her beauty secret with Beauty Banter. “Drink lots of water, as we all know. But I also learned to add the smallest touch of shimmer to the inner corner of the eye after they're lined. I use Chanel Cassis Eyeliner on my upper lash line and water line, and the touch of shimmer powder adds a brightness and sparkle. Even if I have no makeup on, I am likely to apply concealer and a bit of shimmer in the corners of my eye,” she said.
