On the subject of royal beauty, the Duchess of Sussex knows a thing or two about knocking it out of the park. From seasoned makeup pro Daniel Martin's exceptional handiwork that saw her walk down the aisle at St George's Chapel looking every inch the radiant, regal bride to the crimson lipstick that adorned her pout in the stunning viral umbrella photo captured by photographer Samir Hussein – she is well-versed in the makeup looks that suit her striking visage.

For years now the 41-year-old, and wife of Prince Harry, has been subjected to a level of public scrutiny that most of us can't even begin to imagine. But Meghan has risen to the occasion with grace, armed with her trademark beauty looks – avid fans of the Duchess will recognise that she frequently turns to a neutral lip shade and a brown smoky eye – to help her face the world.

Following the release of Harry & Meghan at the start of last month, another Netflix series associated with the royal couple has been dropped on the streaming platform. The first episode of Live to Lead, centred around the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, sees Meghan introduce the series and show off a refreshed take on her usual beauty look.

Sporting her go-to middle parting with loose sweeping waves framing her face, Meghan opted for an understated pale pink lip infused with brown undertones. It even appears as though the former actress may have gone with a lip liner in a different accent shade, seeing as the outer of her lower lip looked as though it had been outlined with a hue on the light brown spectrum.

The 41-year-old teamed her sophisticated lip moment with a cool smoky eye, and a fan of ultra-long, defined lashes that looked as though they could have been courtesy of extensions or perhaps a pair of classic false lashes. Rocking her usual defined arches, Meghan topped off her look with a flush of pale peach blush and touches of highlighter on the bridge of her nose, her cupid’s bow and above her brows.

Released at the end of last year, Live to Lead is a Netflix documentary series presented and executive produced by both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The series spotlights "inspiring life stories" of various global leaders, including climate activist Greta Thunberg and feminist trailblazer Gloria Steinem, who have "committed to making a difference in the world".
