The Duchess of Sussex is known for her impeccable makeup, which consists of glowing skin with her adorable freckles on show, a subtle smokey eye, and of course, her glossy nude lips. However, sometimes, the royal does sport a red lip, and looks incredible when she does.
HELLO! had a chat with the incredible Daniel Martin, who is Meghan's makeup artist and dear friend. Daniel, who is the Global Director of Artistry & Education at TATCHA, told us the three red lipsticks he keeps in his kit, and we tested them all! Which one is your favourite? See what they look like in the video below...

Red lipstick is hugely popular. The Data Wizards at Klarna show that from December 2021- December 2022, matte lipstick purchases are up by 7% and red lipstick purchasing has increased by 4%.
We want to make clear that Daniel always respects the Duchess's privacy and never reveals exactly which products he uses on the former Suits star. But, having admitted these are the reds he most loves, one can be sure he may have used them on Meghan in the past.

The talented professional, who famously did Meghan's wedding makeup, said: "Makeup by Mario has an incredible red, called 'Alicia'."

Last year, in an interview with US title The Cut, there were some accompanying pictures that came with the interview showing off the former actresses' stunning skin. Makeup artist Edwin Sandoval mentioned that the Pat McGrath Skin Labs range was used on Prince Harry's wife. The only foundation the brand produces is the Sublime Perfection Foundation, so we are pretty sure this was what was used to create Meghan's flawless skin.
