After getting a shocking public reaction to her look at Paris Fashion Week, Meghan Markle’s makeup artist just came forward.
He spoke to Hello! about everything and said right off the bat, “I shut down, to be honest. I was so overwhelmed.”
Because “I have a social media manager who's handling all of that. But I mean, it was interesting because I hadn't had a reaction like that since her wedding.”
He also got a bit more personal about the reaction his “glass skin 2.0” received and said, “granted, fashion week is always about the clothes, but I saw less makeup inspiration than the states. Like beauty culture in the states is so unique in that like there's such a presentation with having a full face, whereas this season in Paris, it was just like a lipstick and skincare, or there was nothing on the eyes, or there was a lot on the eyes, but there's nothing on the lip.”
He also admitted, “the switch up was I actually mixed the Tatcha Longevity Serum in with the foundation, and I think that added another layer of radiance to her makeup that just made her look even more juicy and glowy.”
The makeup artist further admitted to that “I use foundation a lot with my hands, so when I apply it, I'm applying it like a massage, like I do with my skincare. I'll go in with 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 to the brush to the face."
And regarding powder, he told the outlet that Meghan “has powder only in the T-zone of her face. There's no loose powder all over. I just wanted to knock out the shine that happens in the middle of her forehead and around her nose. And that powder I used was a Paris-Berlin press powder.”
He also added, “We just wanted to keep everything light, fresh, radiant. Just flew in and your skin gets dehydrated from the plane, so I just wanted to bring some hydration back into her skin and just bring some life to it.”
