10 Beauty Essentials Meghan Markle Can't Live Without


The nuptials between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are just days away and anticipation for the great day is reaching fever pitch.

So many aspects of the occasion are being forecast from the all-important dress designer, which hairstyle she will choose and the guest list to name a few. One aspect I am very interested in is the makeup of course!

It is rumoured that Meghan will take inspiration from Kate Middleton on her big day and do her makeup herself. It is also said she has chosen two people from her close inner circle to do this for her.

Suspected makeup artists who have been named for the huge role are the legendary Bobbi Brown and Princess Diana's makeup artist Mary Greenwell who now works with Laura Mercier in the UK.

So, what are Meghan's beauty essentials? I have all the information here and you never know some of these must-haves may even be used on the day itself.
