The Royal Wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on Saturday, May 19 was nothing short of a modern day fairytale. In classic Meghan Markle fashion, the stunning bride opted for a natural look with minimal makeup and a simple yet regal gown. The newly crowned Duchess of Sussex also donned a slightly undone chignon under her floral-embroidered five-meter-long veil.
While the world anxiously awaited the first glimpse of Markle’s wedding dress, it was really her effortless but breathtaking beauty that stole the show. Between her glowing skin, flirtatious lashes and neutral pink pout, the stunning bride quite literally took Prince Harry’s breath away as she arrived to the alter. While we may not find out exactly what Markle’s makeup artist, Daniel Martin used to create her look on this unforgettable day, I have narrowed down a few products that can be used to re-create the Suits’ star’s wedding day look.
The Products
1. Clarins Paris SOS Primer “Universal Light” ($39)
Markle has always preferred her natural complexion with her freckles on display, and her wedding day look was no different. It’s unknown whether the bride wore any sort of foundation, but one thing is for sure – the beauty was glowing from the moment she arrived to Windsor Castle. To recreate Megan’s glow, apply the Clarins Paris SOS Primer right after moisturizing. This lightweight makeup primer is formulated with High Lumitech Complex, which neutralizes and illuminates skin for 24 hours. This primer is available in 6 varieties of different solutions, but “Universal Light” is focused on boosting radiance. Buy at AMAZON, ULTA or NORDSTROM.
2. Christie Brinkley In a Blink Instant Volumizing Mascara ($18)
Meghan’s makeup was breathtaking in it’s entirety but it’s safe to say the consensus was that her lashes were the real head-turner. To achieve the same volume and length, begin by using an eyelash curler, followed by two applications of the Christie Brinkley In a Blink Instant Volumizing Mascara. This peptide-fueled formulated mascara not only defines and outlines individual lashes, it also lifts and delivers instant volume to create lush and clump-free lashes. In addition, this mascara is ultra pigmented so lashes are enriched with sensational color that won’t smear or smudge. Buy at AMAZON, HSN or KOHLS.
3. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick “Pillow Talk” ($34)
With all of the anticipation surrounding what lipstick Meghan would choose for her big day, it’s honestly quite fitting that the beautiful bride opted for a neutral shade – being that it is one of her go-to’s! It’s been rumored that Markle has been a fan of Tilbury’s line of Matte Revolution Lipstick for some time, so when I saw the shade in “Pillow Talk”, I knew there was a likely chance she could have worn it for her wedding day! This dreamy nude pink is a colour that enhances the natural hue of your lips. Tilbury even added this shade to her line at the countless requests of her friends to turn her cult classic lip cheat lip liner into a lipstick. The Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipsticks are formulated with a blend of essential oils and waxes that enable it to glide long-lasting color onto lips, while orchid extracts soften and hydrate lips for a healthy and youthful finish. Buy at AMAZON, SEPHORA, CHARLOTTETILBURY or NORDSTROM.
4. ApotheCARE Essentials The Mender Hair Oil ($12.99)
Although Meghan opted for a pulled back low-hanging chignon, it was quite apparent how glossy her locks were undernathe her now iconic veil. One of my favorite products for bringing shine and life back into my hair is the ApotheCARE Essentials The Mender Hair Oil. This hair oil replenishes and smooths any uneven or rough cuticles for a noticeable polished finish. Scented with white jasmine, this hair oil also instantly absorbs into hair for a non-greasy finish. Buy at AMAZON or WALMART.
