Even though it's been a few days since the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? The discussions about the new Duchess of Sussex's bridal look are not going to stop! Of course, we may have learned who the designer of her impressive wedding dress was right after she arrived at the church - the artistic director of the Givenchy house Clare Waight Keller - but the cosmetics she used still remain an unsolved mystery. The only thing that is certain, however, is that her makeup caught all the attention on the big day, making many women jealous.
And because we know that you are definitely one of them, we have gathered for you all the products that she loves, as well as what her makeup artist considers must-have. We present them to you, so that you can copy her radiant, fresh and bright look and feel like a true princess!
Before the ceremony, there were many predictions about her bridal makeup, with some sources even reporting that Meghan would follow in Kate Middleton's footsteps and apply her own makeup. In the end, however, she was left in the magical hands, or rather, to the brushes, of her makeup artist and very good friend Daniel Martin, whom she met on the set of the TV series "Suits" in 2011 in New York.
Info: Daniel is a representative of the Dior house and an artistic color consultant for Honest Beauty.
For the big day, Meghan chose to highlight her natural beauty and innate elegance, staying true to her signature makeup, in a more formal version of it of course. Glowing skin, visible freckles, a subtle smokey eye, strong eyebrows, long eyelashes, rosy cheeks and soft pink-coral lipstick were the ingredients of the bright and fresh look of the newlywed, who seemed to be glowing with happiness!
How to
Although no further details have been leaked, we gathered as much information as we could and describe the process and what was needed for the final result below.
Natural skin
For Meghan, less is more. In all her public appearances, besides, at the side of Prince Harry, her skin looked completely natural, so we didn't expect anything different for her wedding. "Every time I did her makeup, she said to me, 'Can we make sure my freckles will show? I don't want a lot of foundation,'" revealed a makeup artist who had worked with her in the past.
To achieve her fresh skin, start by applying a glow primer and once it dries, apply a small amount of light foundation or, better yet, a tinted moisturizer with SPF. Then, highlight the area under the eyes and camouflage dark circles with concealer. Meghan prefers a damp sponge for blending, so that the result is almost invisible. Finally, don't forget to set the concealer with a loose powder, but limit it only under the eyes, for more radiance and naturalness.
Extra tip: Focus the foundation on the areas you need it most and then spread it towards the rest of the face. This way you achieve sufficient coverage, without using an unnecessary amount.
Rosy cheeks and lips
The smile may not have left her lips for a moment throughout the mystery and the blush may have been rather unnecessary, but nevertheless a discreet dose of coral color was visible on her cheekbones. We bet that the product she used was her favorite Orgasm blush by Nars, which she had previously described as “the perfect earthy pink color that illuminates the face.” Of course, you can bet on any similar shade you want, as long as you place it on the apples of the cheeks and blend it upwards. Apart from the blush, however, the bride does not seem to have worn bronzer at all, so you will probably have to skip this step too.
Her lips, which were completely natural, also moved in the same rosy and very summery shade. The secret to achieving this lip stain effect is to dab your lipstick in the center with your fingers and then blend it out towards the edges. Otherwise, apply it normally and then blot it with a paper towel on top - the so-called blotting.
Extra tip: For a flawless monochromatic look, say "yes" to a creamy product for the lips and apples.
Accentuated eyes and well-shaped eyebrows
The undisputed protagonist of the entire bridal makeup were the eyes and eyebrows. From the close-ups of Meghan, a taupe shadow was visible all over the eyelid with some gold tones for extra shine and several layers of black mascara on the eyelashes, top and bottom. Most likely, of course, she combined false eyelashes with mascara. If you do the same, don't forget to cover their tip with black eyeliner.
Of course, her entire eye look could not be completed without well-shaped eyebrows, which she seems to have filled in with a warm brown shadow. Do the same, starting with a small amount of product at the tips and then continuing towards the inner corner with small movements, as if drawing natural hairs.
