Meghan Markle recently shared a glimpse of her makeup while she was in New York, and now a beauty expert has delivered a telling verdict on it. The Duchess of Sussex spent a few days in New York last week, attending various engagements and meetings with her celebrity friends.
Harry and Meghan were also honoured as humanitarians of the year at Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival. Following the trip, Meghan shared a new video on her Instagram account, which featured moments from their time in the Big Apple.
In it, Meghan showed rows of expensive clothes and shoes that she wore on the lavish trip, but she also shared a clip of herself applying makeup while sitting on a dressing table in the Sussexes’ hotel room.
Now, the Telegraph’s beauty editor, Sonia Haria, has given her own “forensic analysis” of the Duchess’s choice of makeup.
Ms Haria identified many of the products in Meghan’s blurry shot and said that for foundation, she opted for No Makeup Makeup, which was founded by her friend Victoria Jackson.
She also spotted that the Duchess had a mini version of Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray and claimed it was award-winning for “good reason.”
The beauty expert said, “It sets any makeup beneath it for 16 hours of wear, and it is waterproof, too. While there are many setting sprays on the market, this one is particularly good for leaving a hydrated look on the skin.”
Ms Haria then said that Meghan most likely wore No Makeup Makeup’s Creme Classic Lipstick in shade Pink 02, a “subdued mauve with a pinky undertone,” while the shot featured another one of the brand’s products, its Blush and Lip Color in most likely the shade Peach.
She then spotted Tom Ford’s Shade & Illuminate Contour Duo and Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder.
For brushes, she spotted the Westman Atelier Baby Blender Brush, the Real Techniques Tapered Cheek Make-up Brush. She also identified some pots by Paris Berlin.
The beauty expert then gave her verdict on Meghan Markle’s beauty products: “It’s an edit of products that certainly won’t appeal to everyone, and indeed, not at the price point that many of them command.
“But there are some items – most likely inspired by her make-up artist – that really will stand the test of time.”
