Instead of going for glitzy cosmetics, Meghan Markle chooses peachy lips, delicate brows, and pink cheeks

Meghan Markle has ditched her Hollywood glam and opted for more ‘regal, sophisticated and mature’ makeup during her four-day tour of Colombia, an expert has revealed.

Makeup artist Laura Kay told FEMAIL that the Duchess of Sussex, 43, has embraced a ‘more refined, royal aesthetic’ — complete with ‘rosy cheeks, softer brows and peachy lips’.

The American mother-of-two, who donned three sophisticated ensembles for her and Prince Harry’s first day of engagements in the South American nation yesterday, is known to often do her own hair and makeup.

She was without a stylist during her quasi-royal tour to Nigeria in May 2024, and did her own hair and makeup ahead of getting on stage and speaking at the Invictus Games in Germany in September 2023.

It’s unclear if Meghan is again without a stylist during her visit to Colombia. MailOnline has contacted representatives of the Duchess of Sussex for comment.

Laura, founder at Laura Kay London, said: ‘Meghan Markle’s latest look marks a distinctive evolution from her Hollywood glam days that she used to love to a more refined, royal aesthetic.

‘Yesterday, at Centro Nacional de las Artes Delia Zapata, she appeared to be embracing a more sophisticated, mature, and elegant vibe.

‘What first catches the eye is her shift to fresh, peachy, and pink tones, giving her complexion a regal feel. It’s a noticeable move from her past bronzed and dewy, Kardashian-inspired look — also perhaps a clever nod or reminder of her royal roots.’

The expert also noted how the Duchess’ eye makeup appeared to be different this time around.

‘She used to love smudgy eye shadow, blending it across her entire lid to create an intense, glamorous look that commanded attention,’ said Laura.

‘But now, she has moved away from that, and her makeup is significantly more defined and refined than we’ve seen in a long while. In fact, it is more reminiscent of her wedding day.

‘Her look is now more sophisticated. She has swapped her usual creamy, glossy makeup for a more traditional look.

‘The bold eyeliner and glamorous lash extensions are back, but with a twist — her eyelids now feature a muted, reddish-brown hue edged with a shimmering highlight to make her eyes pop.
