Her makeup artist, Daniel Martin, reveals the gorgeous—and nourishing!—combo.
Timeless, versatile, and universally flattering, a glossy nude lip is the perfect go-to for any night out. Last night at the 2024 Paley Honors Fall Gala, Meghan Markle demonstrated precisely this with the soft glam look she sported alongside her slinky LBD look. With her long, dark waves pulled back into a wispy low bun, her makeup—fresh, sun-kissed skin paired with a fluttery gaze and lustrous nude lips—was showcased in all its glory. When her makeup artist, Daniel Martin, shared it on his Instagram, followers (present company included!) were eager to know: What did he use on her lips?
According to Martin, the secret weapon duo behind her lip look was the Dior Rouge Dior Contour lip liner and Tatcha Kissu Jelly Lip Mask. While the latter may come as a surprise in lieu of a traditional lip gloss, trust that more and more pros (and makeup obsessives!) are making the swap.
The reason is twofold: First, they supply lips with nourishing ingredients and seal in moisture to keep the lips plumper and dewier longer. Second, like a sheer tinted gloss, a bouncy jelly lip mask like Tatcha’s supplies smoothness, the slightest hint of your lips-but-better pigment, and, of course, shine.
This is all to say: If you’re drawn to Meghan Markle's fresh and natural approach to makeup, this lip trend is definitely one to try this holiday season and beyond.
