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!
Kate Somerville The Holiday Edit ($215, katesomerville.com)
One of Meghan’s go-to products is Kate Somerville’s hydrating face serum, and for good reason. It’s packed with age defying ingredients that firm, smooth and brighten the skin. “I’ve been going to Kate’s clinic in L.A. for facials for years, and now that I live in Toronto for work, I still use the products to maintain that glow,” she previously told BeautyBanter. This set includes the triple acid resurfacing treatment, a duo of her clinic-perfected signature serums, and her revolutionary Retinol + Vitamin C infused moisturizer.
Fresh Sugar Lip Legends Gift Set ($42, sephora.com)
An important part of skincare is making sure your lips are hydrated. Meghan’s go-to is Fresh Sugar Lips. “I have searched high and low and tried every kind of lip balm, but this is the very best,” she revealed in an interview with The Lady Loves Couture. “Soft, kissable, buttery lips. I swear by it.”
