7 things Meghan Markle does every morning
plus her 5 minute face
Give me a day off where I can watch Suits non-stop and I am a happy woman. Especially when you pull a bottle of wine from the fridge and put a bowl of nachos on the table (for decoration of course, I've started exercising recently). That's when I met Meghan Markle in the form of Rachel Zane. I think Prince Harry already knew he wanted to marry her then. Or well, I can imagine that. Legs up on the table, watching Suits over the rim of his beer glass, and then Rachel walks into the picture.
Aside from the fact that she is now a princess in the making, I have always found her attractive and wondered how she managed to pull it off. Therefore: everything Meghan does in the morning in front of the mirror, so you also have a chance to look like that.
1. Meghan only uses foundation on parts of her face where it’s really needed. So don’t smear it all over, but make sure it’s nicely blended with your skin using a beauty blender. What she does apply is Laura Mercier's primer, to smooth everything out.
2. If you aspire Meghan's hairstyle, your life might become a lot simpler. She uses a trick from her stylist: the flip with the long locks. Bend forward, apply texture spray, and then go back. The one from Oribe is said to be her favorite. This way you get that famous flip she always has when she wears it down.
3. Looking well-rested does a lot. Especially if you work late into the night (like Meghan) or pull all-nighters (like us). She achieves this thanks to the Touche Éclat; just dab it in the corners of your eyes for a well-rested look.
4. Meghan firmly believes that beauty comes from within, and that’s why she faithfully does her facial exercises. Yes, really. Those funny faces your mom makes every morning in the mirror to combat too much chin or sagging cheeks.
5. If you also want to look nice and tight in a pencil skirt, start applying a skin firming body lotion. By the way, Meghan just uses the one from Nivea, nothing fancy.
6. She naturally looks enviably beautiful, but she probably smells great too. For when you want to pull a little Prince Harry with your beloved; go for Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne from Jo Malone. It’s said to be one of Meghan's favorites.
7. If Meghan has to quickly put on makeup, she goes for her 5 minute face. That means: some Touche Éclat in the corners of the eyes, curl the lashes, a bit of Diorshow Iconic mascara, and NARS Orgasm Blush on the cheeks. If you want to translate that makeup from day to night, just add the M.A.C Teddy eyeliner: a bit of brown with a touch of gold. And the Very Victoria nude lipstick from Charlotte Tilbury.
Voila, Meghan in the making. Although such a engagement dress does help a bit.
