For that teensy touch of gleam, I’d recommend Charlotte
Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Hollywood Glow, £30. It
goes on subtly, and is a buildable liquid. (There’s also a terrific
on-line tutorial on how to use it, on charlottetilbury.com.)
For blush, Daniel went for a coral shade of cream blush; if
you’re cool-complexioned, go for a rosy tone, instead. I’m a fan
of the new Revlon Photoready Insta-Blush, £9.99, which offers
a Rose Gold and Berry Kiss option. Cream blusher is brilliantly
blendable, but be aware: cream blusher doesn’t last all day. A
whisper of your favourite translucent powder whisked over the
top will help it stay put.
As for eyeshadow, Daniel couldn’t have gone for a more
natural-looking palette of browns, taupes and ivory, with a little
touch of copper. For this natural-looking smoky eye, Daniel
explains: “The trick is to lay down a base of cream colour all
over your lid and layer it with shadow. I used shades of warm
chestnut, cocoa and a smudge of rust into her lash line.”
My go-to palette for this sort of soft, smudged look would be
Tom Ford
Eye Colour Quad in Cocoa Mirage, pricey at £66 but
it’s one of the few palettes in which you’ll use every single shade.
And no, those weren’t Meghan’s natural lashes.
Daniel customised some lashes and applied to the
outer corner, for that fetchingly doe-eyed look. But
don’t try this at home; falsies are best left to the
pros, for a wedding. Another option very popular
with brides (and Mary Berry…) is to have some
semi-permanent lashes glued on in advance at your
preferred beauty salon. It’s worth having a couple
of trial runs before the event to find the length and
number of false lashes that feels right for you.
Lips, are the finishing touch, but all Meghan
used was a tinted balm. Layer this over a base of
lip pencil, as balm can disappear superfast. I’m a
Holo Pink
Addict Lip
Glow, Dior
£24
huge fan of
Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment,
£19.50 – try Rosé – and the fab, all-natural
Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm, £6.
Savvily, Martin revealed that Meghan
had blotting papers to hand – a far better
way for a bride to reduce shine than caking
on powder, as they simply press onto skin
leaving make-up intact, lifting off the oil.
Shiseido Oil-Control Blotting Papers, £19, are my fave –
almost slim enough to slip inside a Givenchy couture wedding
gown, without spoiling the silhouette.
Last, but not least, whether you’re getting hitched in front of
a dozen good friends or several billion TV viewers, remember to
have someone close to you carry a few make-up must-haves to
the church and on to the reception, for touch-ups before those
all-important snaps.
And whenever your Big Day is, I hope the sun shines as
gorgeously as it did on the radiant Duchess of Sussex.
