Lady Diana and Meghan Markle's&nbsp;makeup artist reveals their beauty preferences.&nbsp;

Mary Greenwell is intimately familiar with the makeup style of royals and was responsible for the iconic makeup used by Lady Diana at some events. Now, the torch has been passed on to another member of royalty: Meghan Markle, who always calls upon her whenever she needs to look her best for important events.

The makeup artist is known for mixing classic and new styles of makeup, loaded with a modern and fresh touch. In a recent interview, she analyses and delivers how the duchesses usually prefer their looks. "<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">It's all about creating a polished look. Soft focus skin that looks flawless and natural both in person and on camera is key," she says. For Mary, the secret lies in the personalised coverage, which combines lightness with a satin touch, in order to guarantee <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">a more natural finish. "I'm directly inspired by the person I'm working with, from their natural beauty to the occasion we're creating the look for," she shares.

"Royal makeup is not about trends, but about classic and timeless beauty," she reveals. Despite the naturally lit look, the acclaimed makeup artist avoids bright or high-impact highlighters and prefers a radiant blush instead to guarantee the classic natural and shiny finish. She typically spreads the creamy and liquid products with her fingers and finishes by applying loose powder on the oily areas of the face to avoid excess shine.
