Meghan Markle Used This Exact Product for Her Glowy Paris Fashion Week Makeup

Markle has made minimalist, streamlined beauty her signature style over the years, starting with her sleek royal wedding makeup in 2018. Both looks were created by Daniel Martin, Markle’s longtime makeup artist, who shared a description of the products he used for the Balenciaga show after an overwhelming response from fans online.
In an Instagram Reel, Martin shared that he mixed Markle’s foundation with Tatcha’s The Longevity Skin Strength & Age Delay serum to “add another level of glow that made her look even more juicy and glowy.” Tatcha is a longtime favorite skincare brand of Markle and Martin—it was used to prep Markle’s skin for both her royal wedding and her PFW debut.
For foundation, Martin used Orce Cosmetics Come Closer Serum Glowing Foundation and applied the product with his hands for a seamless, natural finish. “When I apply foundation, I apply it like a massage, like I do with my skincare,” Martin said in the video. “I’ll use a brush to add more coverage and then I use a sponge to blend it out, but I never apply foundation with a sponge and I never apply foundation directly with the brush to the face.”
To maintain her glow, Martin added Paris Berlin Poudre Minerale compact powder only to the T-zone “to reduce the shine in the middle of the forehead and around the nose.” For cheeks, he used Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Contour Duo as a bronzer, then added Tatcha The Serum Stick Smoothing Treatment and Touch-Up Balm on top as a highlighter for “extra glow.”
On the eyes, Martin created a “halo effect” with brown eyeshadow and finished with MAC mascara that Markle ended up “loving.” Finally, he lined lips with Makeup Forever Artist Color Pencil Long-Wear Lip Pencil before applying Tom Ford Slim Lip Color Shine in Iconic Nude, a peachy pink shade, for the perfect minimal lip.
“We just wanted to keep everything light and fresh and radiant,” Martin said of the look. “She just got here and your skin gets dehydrated from flying, so I wanted to put some moisture back into her skin and give it some life.”
