When Meghan Markle announced her marriage to Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, in 2018, it made headlines for numerous reasons. Their wedding was watched by millions worldwide, a truly historic moment. While Meghan stunned in an elegant Givenchy gown and a dazzling tiara, she kept her makeup effortlessly natural, captivating audiences with her radiant beauty. Now, years later, the secrets behind her fresh and understated bridal look have finally been revealed.
For her big day, Meghan turned to her long-time friend and celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin. Known for his expertise in creating glowing, natural looks, Martin embraced Meghan’s signature style, enhancing her features rather than masking them. His goal was to ensure she looked like the best version of herself, and the results spoke for themselves.
The make-up artist, Daniel recently shared what products he used for Meghan to make her look stunning at her big day. Rather than opting for a full-glam transformation, Meghan’s wedding makeup was all about fresh, dewy skin, soft definition, and natural hues. Martin focused on skincare prep, sheer complexion products, and subtle enhancements to bring out her best features.
Achieving Meghan’s luminous complexion started with deeply hydrating skincare. ‘Tatcha’ dewy skin moisturiser were used to ensure a smooth and healthy base. To create a soft, sun-kissed effect, Martin used Dior products- a delicate rosy blush on the cheeks and a warm bronzer to add subtle dimension. Keeping it simple and timeless, Meghan’s eyes were defined with neutral brown eyeshadows, soft eyeliner, and mascara for a natural yet elegant look. A soft pink-nude lip glow was the perfect finishing touch, adding a hint of colour while maintaining an effortless feel. Meghan’s naturally full brows were lightly groomed and brushed upwards to frame her face beautifully.
Meghan’s wedding day makeup remains one of the most requested bridal looks today. By focusing on skincare, embracing lightweight textures, and enhancing rather than concealing, she proved that natural beauty never goes out of style. Her secret? Less is more. And with the right products and techniques, any bride can achieve that same radiant glow.
