Let's talk about the woman who seems to have it all: Meghan Markle. The 36-year-old Duchess of Sussex, who married Prince Harry back in May, has now stepped into the world of royalty with grace and style. Despite having access to a royal stylist and hairdresser, Meghan is reportedly taking matters into her own hands when it comes to her makeup. That's right, folks—she's doing her own makeup for official events. Can you believe it?!
According to People magazine, Meghan's close friend and wedding makeup artist, Daniel Martin, has let the world in on this little secret. The former Suits star has decided to go solo when it comes to creating her fresh-faced, natural look for royal outings. No professional beauty skills needed—Meghan's got this covered herself!

Now, here's a fun little story. When Meghan recently attended the RAF Centenary celebration with Harry on July 10, Daniel Martin took to Instagram to compliment his pal's outfit. “Can we say my love #MeghanMarkle looking #chic in @dior today! #slay,” he captioned a photo of the couple. One curious fan asked Martin if he had done Meghan's makeup for the event. His response? “I didn’t, but she’s so good doing it herself, right?” He later confirmed, “She did her makeup herself for this.”
What’s Her Secret?
Meghan's beauty routine is not just about slapping on some foundation and calling it a day. There's a lot more to it than that. In a previous interview, Meghan’s former makeup artist Lydia F. Sellers opened up to Refinery 29 about the Duchess's beauty secrets. One thing that stands out is Meghan's love for letting her natural features shine through. Sellers shared that every time she did Meghan's makeup, the Duchess would always say, “Can we just make sure my freckles are peeking through? I don’t want a ton of foundation.”
This approach to beauty is all about keeping things fresh and dewy rather than heavy and cakey. Meghan has always been about enhancing her natural beauty rather than masking it. “It was more about the amount of product that went on her skin and keeping it really fresh and dewy, rather than caking it on,” Sellers explained.
Her Beauty Routine in the Spotlight
Now that Meghan is a full-fledged member of the British royal family, has her beauty routine changed? Not really, according to Sellers, who worked with Meghan for two years before she moved to London. “She’s done such a good job of maintaining her sense of self amongst the spotlight. Even now, her look has stayed the same,” Sellers said. Whether it's throwing her hair back in a low bun or keeping her makeup fresh and natural, Meghan's confident approach to beauty shines through. “She’ll throw her hair back in a low bun and it actually looks like she’s done it herself, and it’s beautiful and chic because she’s so confident. That’s the great thing about Meghan — she’s so confident with herself and her look, and she sticks with that,” Sellers added.
Her Go-To Beauty Products
So, what are Meghan's favorite beauty products? Sellers revealed that Meghan is very knowledgeable when it comes to makeup and beauty products. “Meghan is very in-the-know — she had her blog for a while, so she just gets beauty,” Sellers said. But her approach is all about effortless beauty. “She just wants to look like a better version of herself. That’s something she believes firmly in.”

Lucky for royal fans, Sellers also spilled the beans on Meghan's go-to makeup must-have. “I’d use the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation with a Beautyblender [on her skin] because it’s really easy to sheer out,” she said. In another previous interview, Meghan herself confessed her love for the YSL Touche Éclat concealer, the Shu Uemura eyelash curler, and Fresh’s lip treatments. She also swears by Nivea’s Skin Firming Body Lotion. “I use this religiously. It’s honestly my favorite 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,” she told BeautyBanter.
