“If it’s good enough for Meghan Markle, it’s good enough for me” is the motto I lived by when I turned to her approved beauty routine for a week.

After doing some investigative research into Markle’s beauty products of choice, I decided to test them out to see it they were really worth the hype. Some of the items already had secured a place in my makeup bag, while others were new additions, but all were a pleasant experience.

Did I feel like a royal after the experiment? Spoiler alert: no, but that’s exactly why I love Markle. She appreciates her luxuries and also enjoys a drugstore Nivea moisturizer, just like the rest of us.

During my experiment, I learned three key things: I need to moisturize my body regularly (because good skin care extends past your face), balm textured highlighter is the key to a glow, and a busy woman uses lavender soap to chill out after a hectic day. Keep reading to see my opinion on each of Markle’s favorite products, from a drugstore mascara to a high-end undereye brightener, plus a few more takeaways, so you too can sleep well knowing some of your products are Markle-approved.
