Meghan Markle’s hidden beauty trick that made her ‘juicy and glowy’ in Paris

When Meghan Markle made her dazzling debut at the Balenciaga Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris, her dewy, radiant glow stole the spotlight.

Now, her longtime friend and makeup artist Daniel Martin, who also created her iconic royal wedding look spilled all the secrets behind the Duchess’s stunning glam.

Here’s what Martin shared about the Meghan’s Paris Fashion Week glow which was “even more juicy and glowy."

1. The signature skin prep ritual

Martin revealed that he began with Meghan’s usual skincare prep using Tatcha products, a brand he’s long trusted.

“I did my usual skin prep with her, which was a lot of Tatcha,” Martin said, adding, “It’s a skincare ritual that has been in my kit and I’ve used on all my clients for years.”

2. The radiance boosting secret

The makeup artist revealed the real trick behind Meghan’s glow, saying, “I actually mixed the Tatcha Longevity Serum in with the foundation,” he explained, adding, “It added another layer of radiance, which made her look even more juicy and glowy.”

3. The hands-on foundation technique

Martin prefers a natural approach when applying foundation. “I use foundation a lot with my hands, applying it like a massage,” he shared. “Then I use a brush for coverage and a sponge to blend — but never apply foundation directly with a sponge or brush.”

4. Touch of powder and cream contour

To keep Meghan’s skin looking fresh, Martin said he only used powder in the T-zone to control shine.

“We added Tom Ford Contour Cream on her cheek, topped with the Tatcha Serum Stick,” he revealed.

5. Hydration for travel weary skin

Since Meghan had just arrived from a flight, hydration was key.

“She just flew in, and your skin gets dehydrated from the plane,” Martin said, adding, “I wanted to bring hydration back and just bring some life to it.”

6. The perfect nude lip combo

Martin had “several” Tom Ford lipsticks ready, and Meghan picked Iconic Nude, paired with Makeup Forever lip liner.

“That was pretty much it,” Martin said simply, keeping the look classic and chic.

Before signing off, Martin hinted he’d love to experiment more with Meghan’s looks, saying, “When you come from fashion like I do, it’s not about the makeup — it’s about looking beautiful, radiant, polished,” he said.
