The Duchess of Sussex was born and raised in Los Angeles

Meghan Markle looks stunning with her signature "Californian girl-next-door" transformation, a makeup artist has exclusively told GB News.

The Duchess of Sussex was born and raised in Los Angeles, and now resides in nearby Santa Barbara with her husband, Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.


Margherita Lascala, a make-up artist at Beam, spoke exclusively to GB News about Meghan's beauty routine and how this has likely changed since moving back to California in 2020.

She said: "In the past, Meghan has spoken with pride about her freckles.

"Rather than using a product such as a foundation that would cover them up, she is rumoured to be a fan of a skin tint (The Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint is the go-to for makeup artists!) and tinted moisturisers (Laura Mercier’s one has a cult following!)

"The best way to apply these products is to use a round brush as this will deposit the product in the most natural way.

"She will likely use a concealer under the eyes just where it is needed and a light finishing powder on T-Zone.

"To enhance radiance, the highlighter balm from Pat Mcgrath Labs would be a great choice as this will add radiance to her face.

"I suspect that Meghan enhances her freckles by dotting them with a brow pencil lightly as this will give the Californian girl-next-door look that she loves to emulate."

Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, moved to California in 2020 after 18 months as a working royal couple.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot on May 19, 2018, in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

They welcomed their first child, Prince Archie, the following year on May 6.

In January 2020, the Sussexes announced their intentions to "step back" as senior royals.

Meghan and Harry later agreed to step down from their roles as working royals and subsequently moved abroad to the duchess's home state, California.

In June 2021, the couple welcomed their second child, Princess Lilibet Diana.
