During her time as a Hollywood star and now as a radiant royal, Meghan Markle has worked with some of the most talented make-up artists in the bizz.
That kind of background can only give you the best foot forward when it comes to understanding all the tips and tricks to achieving that flawless look that we’ve fondly come to know as the ‘Markle Sparkle’.
When her passion project the The Tig – her website dedicated to travel, food, fashion and beauty – was still up and running, Meghan had an outlet to recommend her favourite things to her dedicated fan-base.
While the site may have closed, her Pinterest boards where she gathered inspiration and compiled her most coveted items, still lives on. And happily for us (and our faces), we’ve nabbed all of her favourites from cyber-space.
From eco beauty brands to hydrating skin serums, all of these products are Meghan Markle approved.

It’s all about getting a beautiful, even base. These are the products Meghan covets for gorgeous, luminous skin.
If you’re lucky enough to be blessed with a smattering of freckles like the Duchess herself, this Luminous Silk Foundation Giorgio Armani has the perfect ratio of coverage, while allowing your freckles to peek through.
A timeless staple, the Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer works a treat.
If you work long hours, this YSL Touche Eclat perfecting pen is liquid gold, according to the Duchess herself.
“If you’ve worked a 17-hour day and have nothing else on, you will still look relatively alive. Relatively,” Meghan previously stated.
It’s all in the name here. This Shu Umera The Lightbulb Glowing Face Powder is guaranteed to highlight and compliment your visage.
They don’t call it the Markle Sparkle for nothing – this Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder SPF15 is a winner for Meghan, and us!
SKINCARE
There’s no denying Meghan has flawless skin, and the products she uses to maintain her glow are surprisingly affordable.
Meghan swears by this Nivea Body Skin Firming Lotion Q10 Plus, telling Beauty Banter in an interview that she uses it “religiously”.
Even better, this lotion will only set you back $4.99! Not bad for a beauty product worthy of a royal.
Meghan has spoken about her love of Tatcha products before, telling Allure their rice enzyme podwer “sort of foams on your face and gives you a really subtle exfoliation”.
This Tatcha Luminous Deep Hydration Firming Serum also looks like a winner for royally smooth skin.
Josie Maran Cosmetics Infinity Intensive Cream Oil is a multi-purpose product and can be used to hydrate, nourish, illuminate and treat dry, dull, damaged or puffy skin.
Another golden product Meghan shared on The Tig is this Darphin Intral Redness Relief Soothing Serum
