Meghan Markle has, without a shadow of a doubt, had a major influence on beauty in 2018. Many people are embracing their freckles, paring down their makeup for special events, and welcoming messy buns with open arms.
Markle has given a new, relaxed meaning to duchess beauty that the world, understandably, wants to replicate — and what better time to do so than Halloween? Her makeup artist's (Daniel Martin) natural approach to beauty has inspired new techniques and products. We already know what Markle's go-to foundation is, how she applies her base (spoiler: it's super easy!), and that he has a less-is-more mentality when it comes to the application of lashes.
Bloggers and beauty enthusiasts have been re-creating Markle's signature look just in time for the (in this case) not-so-spooky season, meaning there is plenty of costume inspiration to draw on, from her go-to look to her transformation into the royal bride.
