The Duchess of Sussex's 10 best beauty moments of the year...and how to get the looks - Telegraph.co.uk

Posted: 05 Aug 2019 12:00 AM PDT

One Royal tour, a glowing pregnancy and a guest editor role at British Vogue, in the past twelve months the Duchess of Sussex has had quite a year - and quite a lot of beauty changes. From her relaxed Australian tour tendrils to her radiant pregnancy glow and the gradual evolution of her signature up-do, as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, celebrates her 38th birthday, we look back at her best beauty looks of the year.

1. Sleek ballerina bun

Details, details, it's all about the details. In one her most recent public appearances, attending the movie premiere of The Lion King in London, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, stunned onlookers with her simplistic sheer black gown and formal up-do. Her low, sleek bun marks a grown-up shift that hits the right note of regal and contemporary. 

Get the look: Larry King Hair's Flyaway With Me Set £17  is the ideal product to tame frizzy flyaway strands around the hair line when wearing hair in a pulled back style. Apply a tiny amount of the styling cream on the brush to seal down stray hairs.

2. Royal baby reveal

For her Royal baby reveal, Meghan cleverly chose to put the focus on her eyes - a make-up artist trick for framing and  eyes and making them pop in photographs. The Duchess of Sussex went for a soft taupe eye shadow with a delicate swipe of black eyeliner and generous lashes.

Get the look: Try my favourite liquid liner, Givenchy Liner Disturbia Precision Felt-Tip Eyeliner £23.05 applied thinly to subtly frame eyes.

3. Bronzed & side swept

Here, the Duchess's bronzed complexion compliments her ivory outfit and soft side-swept fringe. To ensure she doesn't cover up her trademark freckles, Meghan never uses heavy foundation, merely enhancing her natural radiance with bronzer, highlighter and minimal coverage base.

Get the look: Nominated as one of our top 75 best beauty products of 2019 in the Stella Smart Beauty Awards, Chanel Les Beige Water Fresh Tint £48 is formulated with 75% water which hydrates and melts into skin without a trace, giving the complexion a warm summery glow like Meghan's.

4. Messy bun notes

More than a just a light dishevel, the key to the Duchess's signature messy bun lies in the placement, the tendrils, and just enough root lift. Here, her volumous, soft wavy up-do softens her face giving her look a relaxed approachable vibe that's perfect for public duties. 

Get the look: Apply a small amount of L'Oreal Elnett Satin Strong Curl Creme Mousse £5.99 at the crown before blow-drying which will lift the hair at the root and prevent it from looking too flat and severe. Pull two chunky pieces of hair out of either side to soften facial features. Use a curling tong to add a slight wave if necessary.

5. The cheekbone highlighter trick

Meghan's iridescent cheeks and temples cleverly offset her asymmetric hat like a piece of jewellery, making her cheekbones an accessory in their own right. This trick not only upgrades a traditional fashion ensemble, adding radiance and light reflection to the high points of her facial structure has a youthful effect. 

Get the look:   Nars The Multiple in Copacabana £30 applied to the tops of cheekbones, the temples and the bridge of the nose (and even the cupids bow) will draw out the high points of the face adding structure to your features.

6. Classic smoky eyes and nude lips

The perfect nude lipstick is like the perfect white t-shirt, it goes with everything and can be dressed up or dressed down. Here, Meghan's soft pink nude lip compliments her bronzed cheeks and soft brown smoky eyes in a fresh modern way. 

Get the look: When choosing nude, anything with a hint of pink will bring out the colour of your cheeks and boost the whiteness of your teeth. When choosing your perfect nude, match to your skin's undertones. I love Charlotte Tilbury Hotlips Lipstick In Love with Olivia, £28 inspired by New York socialite, Olivia Palermo.

7. Ultra radiance

Who could forget this blue dress moment? Arriving at a state dinner in Fiji, the Duchess shone in radiant make-up that set off her glittering earrings.  No statement lip or eye here, all the emphasis was placed on her warm coppery skin created with dewy light-reflecting textures that highlight her freckles. 

Get the lookChanel Soleil Tan Bronzing Makeup Base, £40.00 is a cult cream bronzer that when buffed into skin with a blending brush brings out the skin's warmth while providing a subtle amount of light reflection. Extremely versatile, use all over skin, on eyelids as cream eyeshadow or to highlight cheeks and temples.

8. Making raspberry lips work for day

Attending a reception attended by the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Meghan opted for a bright raspberry lipstick which gives an element of elegance and importance to her look.  To ensure it doesn't look old fashioned, she keeps it fresh by teaming her bright lips with loose waves and  natural eye make-up. 

Get the look: Bareminerals Barepro Longwear Lipstick £20 in Petunia is one of the best berry hues around. Natural pigments in a long-lasting formulation that is non-drying, this velvety smooth texture is a pleasure to wear during the day.

9. Understated chic

Swapping her bun for long understated hair, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex hits the right balance of classic and modern with a symmetrical middle parting lightly styled to create movement and separation to her flat-ironed locks. 

Get the look: OUAI Hair and Body Shine Mist, £25 gives hair a light sheen that isn't too shiny nor gives too much hold for a fresh day look.

10. Wedding guest waves

Rather than choosing a stiff, stuffy up-do, on her 37th birthday last August, Meghan nailed wedding-guest-chic at the wedding of Daisy Jenks and Charlie van Straubenzee with soft waves that cleverly underplayed her traditional fascinator hat.

Get the look:Effortless waves are created by taking sections of hair and wrapping them around a wide barreled curling tong, spraying each section with heat protection spray as you go. A secret hair stylist trick to modern, youthful waves is to leave out the ends and roots concentrating on the middle section only. Try  GHD Soft Curl Tong, £120
