She’s the face of 2018: here’s how to channel Meghan Markle’s timeless beauty
Beautiful Meghan Markle, actress, activist and royal fiancé, is the perfect beauty role model.
With a natural radiance, luminous skin and a stunning smile, she lights up every room – and looks amazing on camera, whether she’s posing or caught off-guard.
If you’ve fallen for Prince Harry’s future bride, try these beauty tricks to steal her stunning style.
Take some tea tree
Meghan has said that tea tree oil is one of her favourite beauty ingredients – and Dermalogica agrees: products in the brand’s powerful MediBac range contain this ingredient due to its natural antiseptic action and ability to treat everything from acne, dermatitis and skin irritations to skin congestion. Get in on the act with MediBac Clearing Skin Wash, MediBac Breakout Control and MediBac Overnight Clearing Gel.
Try a Markle-style facial massage
Meghan is reported to have received facial massages from London-based facialist, Nichola Joss, who uses an unusual technique, massaging from inside the mouth to keep facial muscles and the jawline supple and strong. You can find tutorials online, teaching you how to do the technique yourself, and when finishing your facial massage on the “outside” Joss recommends you use Decleor Aromessence Lavandula Iris Rejuvenating Serum on your skin.
Meghan’s hair is all about the hi-shine factor
Meghan’s hair is simply beautiful: natural, healthy and super-glossy. She’s known to be a fan of Wella’s hair oil, suitable for all hair types and super affordable. Wella SP Luxe Oil combines three nurturing and enriching oils from around the world to create liquid luxury for your hair: Argan, almond and jojoba oil. Add extra Markle-style-sparkle with Sebastian Professional’s Flaunt Shine Define, to provide thermal protection and extraordinary shine.
Bun tips and tricks
When she’s off-duty, Meghan has been known to sport a simple bun. In one interview, she shared a top bun-styling tip involving a toothbrush…to tame flyaway hairs. She uses hairspray on a small boar bristle toothbrush (or you can just use a regular toothbrush) to gently smooth down any hairs that look out of place. If you’re giving it a go, opt for a hairspray that guards against humidity and frizz: Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium has a reflective shield and brushes out easily, without leaving a sticky residue behind.
Keep it simple
When it comes to Meghan’s make-up, less is more and classic is queen. She favours a subtle bronze blush and simple black eyeliner. It’s reported that she only uses foundation where it’s absolutely needed, using a Beauty Blender to create a gentle wash of coverage that allows her freckles to shine through. You can order yours at Beauty Flash: try the Two BB Clean Set, containing two award winning Beauty Blender classic pink sponges and a 5oz liquid Blender Cleanser.
Finish with a slick of baby pink lip-gloss
For a recent meeting with the Queen, Meghan borrowed a trend from the 90s that suited her down to the ground: baby pink lip-gloss. Subtly sexy and demure, this lip trick allows you to go heavier on the eye make-up without looking “overdone”. Try New CiD Lip Gloss in Tickled Pink – and if you’re feeling extra sultry, try a touch of gloss on your cheeks, or even eyelids, for a high-shine, iridescent effect.
Add confidence
Meghan’s biggest secret weapon when it comes to her beauty regime is confidence. Her look is relatively low key, but it’s beautiful and chic precisely because she rocks it with so much poise and self-assurance. However you interpret Meghan’s beauty, wear it with lashings of confidence.
