When we saw Meghan Markle on her wedding day, one of the the first things you could notice was the happiness beaming off her face. She was a radiant bride, glowing with happiness and inquiring minds just had to know… What were the magical products that she and makeup artist Daniel Martin used to accentuate her natural beauty?

Luckily for us, Meghan and Daniel have worked together for years, and even shared their secrets for Meghan’s flawless look in archives on the Tig. Don’t worry – the Tig might be shut down but our revival of their archives lives on – including today’s post on Daniel and Meghan’s “Secrets to a Flawless Face”.

With the Tig having shut down, we were saddened that several years of archives – including amazing tips from Meghan herself on her fashion & beauty choices – would be lost to the depths of the internet. We were able to track down the archives and today we’re sharing them with you in today’s instalment of the Meghan’s Mirror Tig Throwback Thursdays series.

It should have come as no surprise that Meghan chose Daniel Martin to do her makeup for her BIG day. Daniel even shared a post of himself getting ready – in Dior, no less – for the wedding on his Instagram.

Meghan was an unabashed fan of Daniel’s, sharing:

Press events require you to look dolled up. Getting dolled up requires hair and makeup. Hair and makeup requires a glam team. The best half of that equation is undoubtedly celebrity makeup artist, Daniel Martin. I love this man, and not in that industry way of saying you “love” someone as casually as you order your macchiato. I actually love this guy. He paints the faces of everyone from Jessica Alba and Kate Bosworth to Veronica Webb and Elettra Wiedemann. And while all of that has a particular “ooh-ah-oh” factor that is coupled with his mastery of makeup, that’s not what impresses me most about Daniel — not even close. Trumped by all, is the fact that he’s just an amazing person.

So what were those magical secret products that Daniel shared, and that were also favourites of Meghan’s?

• TATCHA Luminous Deep Hydrating Serum – “Due to its humectants and essential oils to moisturize skin, I like to use this as a complexion “magnet” to lock down foundation for long hours of wear. Its also great to hold in moisture during long flights, calming down sunburned skin and use under your favorite moisturizer for more hydration.”
• GIORGIO ARMANI Luminous Silk Foundation – “This foundation will forever be a staple in my kit for its versatility in front of the camera and in real life.”
• HOURGLASS Corrective Concealer – “This non drying stick concealer covers anything from blemishes to bruises with its buildable coverage and versatile texture.”
• SHU UEMURA Face Powder Matte – “Ultra light powder diffuses and cuts the shine without looking too flat.”
• CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder – “This powder brightens and warms up skin without the look of bronzer. A matte, “lit-from-within” radiance that every one needs from this long dull winter!”
