Meghan Markle Uses This Moisturising Cream As Highlighter

Meghan Markle’s Make-Up Artist Reveals The $10 Cream He Uses As Highlighter

The Duchess’ secret to glowing skin - by Arielle Tsoukatos

When Meghan Markle isn’t doing her own make-up she calls on Daniel Martin to create her Duchess-worthy radiant beauty look. In a brand-new interview, Daniel revealed that he relies on skincare rather than traditional highlighters to give Meghan that 'lit from within' glow.

Martin says the first step to any royal regimen is hydration. Before highlighters, you would do highlighting with Aquaphor," he told E! News. "Aquaphor will give you that same texture, especially in a photo [when applied] on the high points of the face."

Popular in America, the pharmacy brand healing ointment costs approximately $10 and is available to shop online in Australia via this website. However, there’s a good chance you already have an almost identical moisturiser–or technically speaking, an emollient cream–in your beauty drawer.

Emollients are a category of moisturises which create a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, fragrance-free and paraben-free they work wonders on sensitive skin. Here, we've rounded-up some alternatives you can try today. Just follow Daniel's advice and applying it onto your cheekbones for a Meghan-inspired natural luminous finish.
