Does Meghan Markle do her own makeup?

Throughout her acting career, she shared her beauty holy grails with a number of publications—with one of her former makeup artists, Lydia Sellers recently telling Hello: "Meghan is the type of girl with many talents. She is someone that is 'in the know' when it comes to products, tips, tricks, and trends. Working with her was always a collaborative effort."
Adding, "Meghan is very self-assured when it comes to what she likes in a beauty routine and our time together very rarely ventured too far from her classic makeup look."
MUA, Daniel Martin also previously told People, "She’s gotten more comfortable doing her own makeup. She loves makeup and she’s good at it!"
