Royal Wedding Season

This time of year we usually stop worrying about colds and fevers, but then Meghan Markle appeared with her lavish wedding to Prince Harry. Try as we might, who amongst us could avoid a bout of Royal Fixation Fever? Everywhere there are articles on Meghan and her beauty rituals. How To Capture Meghan’s  Look. Meghan’s Favorite Beauty Essentials. Meghan’s Makeup Artist Reveals Her Secrets.

So, yes. We read a few of them. And you know what? We started to feel pretty good about ourselves. Turns out we’re applying many of the same wonderful products and techniques to our own routines.

First off, Meghan loves the Jan Marini skin-care products. Her latest comment: I love Jan Marini. I’ve been using their serum lately. It makes your skin really glow-y.”

We couldn’t agree more! Jan Marini has been lauded by many celebrities for its potent, medically validated formulas and amazing rejuvenation properties. Their treatments address fine lines, wrinkles, breakouts and even sun damage – all with sovereign success.

Meghan also believes in using foundation sparingly. “I never want to cover my freckles, so I just do a ‘wash’ of foundation in certain sections…” And what does Meghan use to create this flawless, yet authentic look? According to Lydia Sellers, her go-to makeup artist, Meghan loves the Beauty Blender makeup sponge.

Again we say: Ha! We’ve been touting this remarkable tool for years. You simply wet, squeeze out excess liquid, and bounce your foundation across your face for perfect results. Just look at Meghan’s shining countenance on any magazine cover. Incontrovertible proof the Beauty Blender is a must for makeup application.

At this point we’re coming dangerously close to being mistaken for a member of the royal entourage. We’re so much like Meghan it’s almost eerie. Sure, we haven’t gone through the protocol training and we don’t have the 24-hour security. But just look at our very fine usage of the royal ‘we.’
