Meghan Markle's Signature Makeup Look

Sunday 13 May 2018


So with the Royal Wedding just around the corner, thought I'd share some tips I snagged off the internet while I was searching for the perfect bridal makeup (unfortunately not for myself yet lah).

Makeup artist, Hannah Sorcha, came up with a dumbdumb-proof step-by-step guide to looking like Meghan Markle. I personally call it the Trap-Your-Very-Own-Prince makeup look. 

Meghan (YAH, we're on first-name basis already because we're tight like that...) has this chic natural makeup going on for her. It's almost like she just put on eyeliner and mascara, went for a walk, took a nap and woke up with her skin slightly greasy and eyeliner a little smudged. AND IT WORKS!

Hannah Sorcha, a sought-after makeup artist in London, has so kindly broken down Meghan's signature makeup look into steps that all of us can easily follow. 

Meghan's Signature Makeup Look:

1. Moisturise and prime the skin 
2. Apply foundation, then set with powder
3. Fill in the eyebrows with a gel or pencil, creating a fuller, straighter brow rather than a heavily arched look
4. Set the eyebrows with a brow gel
5. Apply eyeshadow primer, then apply a light brown shadow all over the lid
6. Work a darker shade of brown into the crease and dust some along the bottom lashes
7. Apply a brown liner along the top lash line and blend to create a soft, smoky look
8. Apply brown liner to the lower lash line for extra definition
9. Apply highlighter to the inner corner of each eye
10. Curl the lashed and add mascara
11. Prep the lips with a hydrating lip balm, then line with a nude liner before applying a nude cream lipstick over the top
12. Dust a peach blush over the cheeks
13. Apply highlighter around the outer corner of the eyes in a C shape and slightly along the nose

While I love a minimalistic makeup look like this, I've added my own twist to it to make it more Wiwin/pinggan-face-friendly. 

I almost always apply a medium shade cream contour to every makeup look that I do on myself because I like to fool myself into thinking that my Japanese ancestors passed down a bit of their high cheekbone genes to me (see how I managed to slip in an "interesting" fact about myself to sound exotic there?).

That's all I have for now. Do let me know if you would like to see an actual footage of me applying this makeup look on my face in the future. Possibly on YouTube, which I have abandoned for the longest time.

Till my next post!
