The prep
To prep Meghan’s skin, Daniel applied a clarifying toner and a
water-based moisturiser. He also used a Korean
sunscreen that “acts as a foundation gripper to lock down foundation”. As an
alternative, you could use Meghan’s favourite primer, Laura Mercier’s Radiance Foundation Primer, which “helps makeup glide on
easily and last longer”.

Foundation
Meghan isn’t a fan of wearing too much foundation, because she
likes to make sure that her freckles are still clearly visible. Daniel says he
likes to use water-based foundations, because they “absorb well into your skin
without becoming oily over time.” Meghan’s former makeup artist, Lydia Sellers,
revealed that she used Giorgio Armani Luminous
Silk Foundation when making over Meghan – and, as this
is a water-based foundation, it’s possible that this is what Daniel may have
used as well.

Applicator
As Daniel points out, Meghan is “very
much about keeping her skin as real and natural as possible”. To give
herself a sheerer coverage (thus allowing her freckles to stay on show), Meghan
likes to spread her foundation carefully with a beautyblender.

Concealer
Daniel commented that “Meghan has incredible skin”, so he only needed to use a small amount of concealer to “balance and neutralise any discolourations where needed”. Meghan’s go-to concealer is the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Concealer and Highlighter, which she’s named her “all-time favourite beauty product”. Praise indeed!

Luminizer
To give Meghan’s skin a radiant glow, Daniel used a
luminizer “with a dual fibre brush to stipple on top of her foundation”. To
“add a slight flush”, he also “lightly tapped a cream coral colour on the
apples of her cheeks”. Meghan’s former MUA Lydia revealed that her fave product
to use with Meghan was the RMS Beauty Living Luminizer, which is “a great cream highlight to use on the high cheekbones
and nose because it's light and fresh”. Daniel also
added that he used the same luminizer on Meghan’s shoulders and collarbone to
make the look “appear harmonious from head to toe”.

Smoky eye
To achieve Meghan’s “natural-looking smoky eye”,
Daniel first laid down “a base of cream colour” on her lid, before layering it
“with an accompanied eyeshadow”. He used shades of “warm chestnut, cocoa, and a
smudge of rust into her lash line”. Lydia Sellers revealed that her favourite
product to use on Meghan’s eyes was the Tom Ford Cream Colour for Eyes, which are available in
beautiful bronze colours like Platinum, Burnished Copper and Spice.

Lashes
Daniel wanted Meghan’s eyes to “almost
flutter as she looked up at Harry”, so to achieve this, he “customised and
shaped out some corner lashes to give her that doe-eye look”, by “pulling them
out on the outer corners”. Another product Meghan always turns to for her
beautiful Disney Princess-esque lashes is the Shu Uemura eyelash curler.
Meghan named this hugely popular eyelash curler as one of her top 5 “must
haves”, praising it for helping you to “look instantly awake”.

Lip balm
To make sure Meghan’s lips were perfectly kissable for Prince
Harry, Daniel said he “opted for a tinted lip balm
that gave colour without looking like heavy lipstick” because they wanted “a
natural flush”. Meghan has been very vocal of her love for the tinted Fresh Sugar Dream Lip Treatment
lip balm in the past, naming it “the very best” and saying that she “swears by
it”. It’s highly possible that she used this balm on her big day in one of her
favourite colours, Petal or Rosé.

Nail varnish
It seems that Meghan’s nail varnish of choice
was actually the Queen’s decade-long favourite, Ballet Slippers by Essie. The beloved pale pink,
award-winning (but incredibly affordable!) sheer polish has been the Queen’s
go-to for 30 years, so it’s not surprising that Meghan would choose to rock it
on her wedding day.
