If you have a friend that lives and breathes everything Meghan Markle, please allow us to guide you in gifting them this season. The Duchess of Sussex is known for her chic and affordable wear, but besides fashion, loyal royal fans are also obsessed with her beauty routine.
When stepping out for royal engagements, Meghan tends to keep her makeup minimal and always lets her natural glow shine. Take for example, her wedding day makeup look that, with the help of her makeup artist Daniel Martin, highlighted her natural beauty without caking on pounds of foundation ad powder. The first step in achieving flawless skin? having a beauty routine.
This season, gift your royal-obsessed friend one (or all!) of these sets that are the perfect addition to any vanity!

I swear by it.”
