Meghan Markle’s makeup artist has revealed the secrets behind her ‘glowy and stress-free’ Zoom appearance, including brushed brows, a ‘juicy’ lipgloss and a base finish reminiscent of her wedding day look.
The Duchess of Sussex, 38, spoke with a British youngster virtually from her home in Los Angeles on 27 March as part of her role as patron of SmartWorks, with a clip of the video call released by the charity yesterday.
Now celebrity makeup artist Ruby Hammer has revealed how the royal nailed the ‘perfect’ make-up for video calling, by opting for a similar look to her wedding day style.
Ruby, who has done Meghan’s makeup on several occasions, including one of the royal’s first dates with Prince Harry, 35, told The Telegraph: ‘Her face looks glowy and stress-free…It definitely looks like she’s done her own make-up, as you’d expect right now, but she knows what works for her.’

The makeup artist said the royal had opted for makeup ‘similar to how she had her finish on her wedding day’.
She suggested the royal had used a combination of tinted moisturiser with a heavier concealer under her eyes, leaving the rest of her coverage ‘light enough so you can see her freckles’ and ‘not too madeup.’
The makeup artist added that thanks to her ‘clean living’ lifestyle, Meghan has ‘beautiful skin’ which allows her to keep her coverage light.
Meanwhile Ruby said the Duchess had also opted to apply a ‘healthy bit of blush’ upwards ad outwards, high on her cheeks to avoid ‘looking washed out.’

The makeup artist suggested the royal had brushed her eyebrows up, and gently filled in the shape.
She said: ‘Meghan’s eyes look really awake and alert, which is in part down to the brows and also the fact that Meghan has two or three layers of mascara on.’
Meanwhile Ruby revealed how Meghan likely applied a sweep of translucent powder across the tops of her cheeks, and mattified between her brows, the sides of her nose and her chin.
The makeup artist said the use of transculent powder was ‘the quickest way to look polished and professional’.

She also pointed to Meghan’s choice of a ‘balmy lipstick or juicy lip-gloss’ would be comfortable and allowed the royal to re-apply quickly if need be.
In a video clip released on the charity’s Instagram page yesterday, the Duchess can be seen chatting virtually to an unnamed woman who was applying for an internship after completing her studies in psychology.
She praised the youngster for her positive attitude, saying ‘there’s so much going on in the world right now’ but she was being a ‘beacon of hope and all the positivity.’
In the clip, Meghan can be seen wearing a simple deep red v-neck jumper and several gold pendants.
The royal, who continues to be patronage of the organisation despite stepping back from royal duty, launched her clothing collection with the organisation in September in London
Meghan privately visited Smart Works several times before being named as its royal patron in January last year and has a long-standing commitment to supporting women’s empowerment.
The Duchess launched the Smart Set collection last September, which saw every item sold by the retailers matched with one item donated to SmartWorks.
Despite stepping back from royal duties alongside Prince Harry last month, Meghan has been permitted to maintain her patronages.
