Meghan Markle proves she doesn’t need makeup artist to shine: Here’s why

Meghan Markle just proved that when it comes to beauty, sometimes less truly is more. 

During her recent work trip to New York City with Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, opted to do her own makeup and looked radiant doing it.

In an Instagram Reel posted on October 13, Meghan gave fans a glimpse into her “No Makeup Makeup” routine, featuring her go to essentials from the beauty brand of the same name.

Here’s how Meghan Markle achieved her signature natural glow:

1. She did her own glam and nailed it every time

Meghan skipped the professional artist this time, showing off her confidence and authenticity. Her self-applied look perfectly matched her polished-yet-relaxed Big Apple style.

2. Foundation that enhances, not hides

She used the No Makeup Makeup Foundation + Brush Duo in the shade Tan, praised for its creamy, skin-flexing texture. 

The formula corrects imperfections while letting her natural undertones shine through.

3. One product and two uses

To add warmth and color, Meghan reached for the No Makeup Makeup Blush & Lip Color which is worth $46. It is a two in one multitasker that adds a soft flush to both cheeks and lips.

4. Hydrating and smooth lip finish

She completed her look with the Crème Classic Lipstick for a plumped, satin finish that radiated simple elegance.

5. The philosophy behind her look

No Makeup Makeup founder Victoria Jackson explained, “I think now more than ever, people feel, ‘I don’t have to hide behind it all.’ Look at women like Pamela Anderson and Sharon Stone—they’re feeling more confident in themselves and in their skin.”

Jackson, a longtime friend of Meghan’s and a guest on With Love, Meghan, also shared her support earlier this year, “So excited for my dear friend @meghan and her beautiful new show… Her heart, passion, and incredible spirit shine through in every moment.”

With her glowing skin and empowering beauty choices, Meghan once again proves that confidence and a little cream blush go a long way.
