Since she first began attending official royal outings with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle has proved time and again that she's of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset when it comes to her beauty choices. When she finds what looks good — her glowy, natural makeup, that controversy-causing messy bun — she sticks with it. In a new interview with People, Daniel Martin, a close friend of the Duchess of Sussex and the mastermind behind her gorgeous wedding day glam, broke down Meghan's low-key approach to makeup and explained why you'll never see her straying too far from her beloved peachy-nude lip color.
"The one time she did a red lip, she just didn't feel comfortable in it," Martin explained. "She likes to talk and she's not a fussy person, so she doesn't want to have to worry about anything." It makes sense: Not only can bright red lipstick cause major stress as you worry whether it's transferred onto your teeth or started feathering at your lip line, but bold colors often fade much more obviously, turning patchy fast.
Plus, if your go-to rosy nude was as flattering and versatile as Meghan's preferred Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution shade, Very Victoria, why would you even consider trying something new?
Daniel also shared that, despite having access to professional makeup artists, Meghan has decided to do her own makeup for her royal engagements. "She's gotten more comfortable doing her own makeup. She loves makeup and she's good at it!" he told People. "She's been doing her makeup herself. She's not fussy — she's just trying to get it on and get out the door."
Her go-to routine? "She likes a stronger eye, her brow is a lot more defined now. But it's still her. If anything, she's going to experiment with different tones, and now that she's more tan she'll use warmer colors. But she doesn't stray too far from her technique, she's very formulaic with her routine," Daniel said. "They have so many engagements, you have to stick with what you know and feel comfortable and confident and just own it."
