Recreate Meghan Markle’s Wedding Makeup Look

Blush, Bronzer & Highlighter

One thing we noticed with Meghan Markle’s wedding makeup look is that she didn’t have the same (occasionally OTT) rosy-cheeked look we see on a lot of brides. Instead, her cheeks were gorgeously flushed with a touch of bronzer that complemented her skin tone, and what appeared to be a subtle wash of peachy-pink blush.

Start off by taking a fluffy angled face brush, such as the Real Techniques Sculpting Brush, and swirling it around in your bronzer. The shade used on Meghan shows no sign of orange, which ensures it looks ultra-natural on the skin. Opt for a matte bronzer like the Gorgeous Cosmetics Endless Summer Bronzer (we’ll go in with a lil’ highlighter later). Dust on the cheekbones, up onto the temples and forehead and on the jawline for a subtly sculpted look.

Select an appropriately peachy-pink blush, such as the OFRA Blush in Chameleon, and swirl very gently with your brush. Dot onto the cheeks and blend out if need be, using a powder brush or your fingers. Cream blushes also work wonders for that natural glow — just be cautious you’re not applying over the top of any powder to avoid cakiness.

Finally, it’s time for everyone’s fave step, highlighter! Meghan doesn’t seem to be wearing anything too sparkly or shimmery, and instead just has a really ethereal glow. Ugh, we’re so envious. Fake it ’til you make it with the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal, a universal shade which gives the skin radiance without being over the top.

Lips

Meghan’s wedding makeup look was all pulled together with the addition of a sweet, semi-matte pink lipstick shade. We’re sure beauty addicts everywhere will try and pinpoint the exact shade she used, but ’til we’ve got that all figured out, here are some guesses.

Whichever shade you choose, make sure you apply it using a lip brush to ensure longevity and a seamless finish, filling in any cracks or fine lines. Even in the dead of winter, you’ve got no excuse for chapped-looking lips!

The Finishing Touches

Although we can’t give you intel on how Meghan set her makeup on the big day, it’s always important to ensure bridal makeup stays in place and doesn’t get cakey — after all, you’ll be partying ’til the wee hours of the morning.

Thankfully, cult-fave brand Skindinavia offer a range of setting sprays that are absolutely killer when you’re getting married (or are simply recreating Meghan Markle’s wedding makeup for fun, because same). Spritz a little to keep everything set for hours upon end. If you’re more of a powder kind of girl, we can’t go past the Kryolan Professional Makeup Translucent Powder.
