Meghan Markle just shared the nail varnish she wears, plus more beauty favourites
Just weeks after her divisive Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, landed on the streaming platform, Meghan Markle has officially entered another influencer era. The Duchess of Sussex launched a ShopMy storefront a few days ago with a curated list of her favourite fashion pieces and has since added her beauty essentials.
While many tuned in to criticise and condemn the series (The Independent's own critic gave it one star), others obsessed over what she was wearing – including her nail varnish. Thankfully for fans, Meghan has now revealed the exact polish she wore on the show, as well as her favourite moisturiser, eye pencil, skin primer, lip balm and more.
Her selections span viral brands such as Summer Fridays, Saie and Laneige, as well as classic names, including Mac, Weleda and La Roche-Posay. Keep scrolling to find out where to shop Meghan's beauty staples.
CND shellac, satin slippers: £21, Amazon.co.uk
The Duchess of Sussex revealed that her milky pink nail varnish colour in With Love, Meghan was achieved with one coat of CND shellac in the 'satin slippers' hue and another coat in the 'romantique' shade (£22, Amazon.co.uk). CND is the creator of shellac nail varnishes, with the formula promising more than 14 days of wear without chipping or peeling. You will need your own at-home gel manicure kit to cure the polish.
To achieve a subtle, smoky eye make-up, the Duchess has included Mac's kohl eyeliner in her beauty edit. The formula promises to have a rich colour payoff, plus a silky-smooth matte finish. The tip can be sharpened for more precise application or left a little blunter for a soft-focused look.
Saie's glowy super gel regularly goes viral on TikTok, and for good reason. Now, Meghan Markle has included the radiance-boosting formula in her curated edit. A hero buy for a 'no-make-up' make-up look, the lightweight liquid has multipurpose appeal. Priming skin, highlighting and delivering dew, it can be worn alone for sheer coverage or under make-up.
Giving a 'your lips but better' look, a Summer Fridays lip butter balm can be spotted in many make-up bags. Formulated with shea and murumuru seed butters, it's touted as being naturally hydrating. It's lauded for soothing and conditioning lips within seconds, and the various shades deliver a sheer wash of colour.
The Duchess isn't alone in her love of Weleda's affordable skin food range – Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham have also raved about it. Costing less than £10, it's also an IndyBest-approved bargain, with the light version earning the title of best skincare staple it our guide to natural moisturisers for your face.
A favourite for sensitive skin, La Roche-Posay's hydrating cleanser is known for its ability to cleanse without stripping the skin, yet still removing make-up effectively. The formula is enriched with glycerine and spring water to soothe and cleanse irritated skin.

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: How Harry is the 'spare in his relationship' as the prince struggles to carve out a career for himself following the Sentebale debacle
It was widely seen as the charity perhaps closest to Harry's heart when he founded Sentebale in 2006 when the prince was just 22 years old. The charity - which helps children and teenagers tackle HIV or AIDS diagnoses - was after all named after the Sesotho word for 'forget-me-not' in reference to Princess Diana 's favourite flower and her much praised charity work during her life. But now Prince Harry finds himself no longer part of the charity he spent nearly 20 years building after he dramatically parted ways with Sentebale. The charity's chair Dr Sophie Chandauka made several damaging claims against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, calling their brand 'toxic' and accusing Harry of 'harassment and bullying at scale' - a claim that is denied. This followed claims that Meghan Markle disrupted the Sentebale charity polo match in Spring last year when she turned up at short notice alongside tennis legend Serena Williams. The duchess had originally said she would not be attending. Speaking to MailOnline, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that Harry's struggles to carve out a career for himself, coupled with Meghan's own 'ruthless' ambitions, have meant the prince has found himself 'the spare' in their relationship. Richard said that Meghan has ambitions to become a billionaire with her various projects including TV and investing in start-ups, but Harry lacks the same 'ruthlessness'. Dr Sophie Chandauka, the chair of Sentebale. Dr Sophie made several damaging claims against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, calling their brand 'toxic' 'Harry is increasingly finding himself as the spare in a relationship with Meghan which undoubtedly involves mutual affection, but where their priorities differ widely.' He said that Harry's comfort zone is his charity work, and this is the direction in which he naturally finds himself leaning. 'Invictus means a lot to him, it was a joy to see him at the WellChild Awards last year. He genuinely enjoyed being with the children, it seemed as though the "old Harry" was temporarily back,' he said. However, he cautioned that the duke has made a 'large number of mistakes'. These include his 'angry and resentful half-hour interview with the BBC after he lost his court case over security and his ill-judged memoir Spare'. Richard added: 'However, though often emotional, he lacks Meghan's ruthlessness, which was so apparent in the Oprah interview.' Although The Mail On Sunday revealed in May that Prince Harry is planning to launch his own as-yet-undisclosed commercial venture in the next few months, he remains focused on his charity work. Harry is still involved heavily with the Invictus Games and the foundation that supports the tournament as well as the HALO Trust - a charity working to remove landmines, which Princess Diana was supportive of. The Duke of Sussex also launched more new projects in recent years including an eco-travel campaign through his non-profit Travalyst, aimed at encouraging sustainable travel. Harry with Sentebale in 2006. The charity - which helps children and teenagers tackle HIV or AIDS diagnoses - was named after the Sesotho word for 'forget-me-not' in reference to Princess Diana's favourite flower and her much praised charity work during her life In November 2023 he became the global ambassador for Scotty's Little Soldiers - a charity that cares for children whose parents died while serving in the armed forces. Earlier this year, Harry had his most high-profile fallout with a former charity to date when he, alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, resigned from their roles as patrons of Sentebale. This followed a dispute between the charity's trustees and Dr Sophie - the charity's chair. Harry and Dr Sophie's working relationship had been in trouble for some time but it was only after the duke announced he was stepping down that an excruciating video showing Meghan Markle moving the Sentebale chief away from her husband took on new importance. It was claimed the polo event was gatecrashed by the former Suits star with Serena Williams and a Netflix crew in tow. The Duchess of Sussex seemingly forced Dr Sophie Chandauka to duck under the trophy as Harry celebrated the Royal Salute Polo Challenge in Wellington, Florida, in support of Sentebale's work. Moments before, Meghan had kissed her husband to celebrate his win – with a Netflix camera crew there to capture the moment for his TV series on polo. The footage of Meghan and Dr Sophie with Harry at the centre has been watched millions of times online in the past year but is being viewed again in a new light after Dr Sophie's bombshell interview with Sky News where she discussed the notorious clip. Speaking to Sky News' Trevor Phillips, Dr Sophie recalled the chaotic event, telling him: 'We would have been really excited had we known ahead of time [Meghan was coming], but we didn't. 'And so the choreography went badly on stage because we had too many people on stage. The international press captured this, and there was a lot of talk about the duchess and the choreography on stage and whether she should have been there and her treatment of me. 'Prince Harry asked me to issue some sort of a statement in support of the duchess, and I said I wouldn't. 'Not because I didn't care about the duchess, but because I knew what would happen if I did so, number one. And number two, because we cannot be an extension of the Sussexes.' While Harry's own career aspirations may appear rudderless at the moment, Meghan's appear more ambitious than ever with the former Suits actress reportedly hoping to become a billionaire. As for her hopes of reaching this goal, Richard said that her public image could be problematic. 'Her declining popularity in the United States is partly due to the bullying allegations which have dogged her though she strongly denies them, and partly because, as was pointed out by critics of her With Love, Meghan cookery show, she is too self-obsessed,' he explained. Speaking to MailOnline, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that Harry's comfort zone is his charity work, and this is the direction in which he naturally finds himself leaning 'She should take advice from the infamous but pragmatic 16th century diplomat Nicolo Machiavelli who wrote 'It is not necessary that a prince (in her case a princess) be just. It is very necessary that he (she) appear to be'. 'The talent isn't there, the ambition is boundless, the self-love infinite and it shows far too obviously. The novelty has worn off, too. If you preach love but rubbish the royal family, which you married into, you might not make the fortune you seek!' Indeed, Meghan does appear to have focused much of her energy on her solo business projects in recent years. In March 2024, she soft-launched American Riviera Orchard before changing the company's name to As Ever. Announcing the new venture, Meghan said: 'This new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish - food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday.' The food products sold by the brand include an assortment of teas, edible flower sprinkles and a £20 jar of honey. Meghan has also invested in a number of companies including the vegan coffee brand Clevr Blends and haircare line Highbrow Hippie. She has also invested in asset manager Ethic, which focuses on sustainable investments. Harry and Meghan signed a lucrative £18million deal with Spotify in 2020. However, despite appearing to be a joint venture, the only show they produced was hosted by Meghan. In the series, titled Archetypes, Meghan interviewed various celebrities from Serena Williams to Paris Hilton. The deal was 'mutually ended' in June 2023 with sources claiming the music streaming giant did not see a enough content to warrant the full payout. Earlier this year, the duchess launched her Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan podcast which saw her chat with female business owners from an array of successful companies. In a slight career change, Meghan also penned a children's book in 2021 titled The Bench. The book follows the relationship of a father and son through the eyes of the mother. It received mixed reviews from critics. In their television projects, Harry and Meghan have kept a much more united front but even so the couple do now appear to be doing much more separate projects. Although an official figure was never announced, Harry and Meghan's deal with Netflix was allegedly worth around £80million and has seen the couple produce multiple shows.

A source from the show has since reported that neither Harry nor their children will appear in the next season of the show In 2022, the first Netflix series about the Sussexes was released aptly named Harry and Meghan.

In 2023, Meghan did not join Harry as an executive producer on the Heart of Invictus series, although the duke and duchess did appear together during the show. Meghan's first major solo television project was her lifestyle programme called With Love, Meghan which saw the duchess team up with a number of famous guests to cook and create homeware products. Harry was almost entirely absent from the series aside from a very brief cameo in the last episode.

Meghan hiding her kids' faces is a scheme, she'll be making money from the big reveal in no time, expert says
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Duchess of Sussex hiding her children's faces is a money-making scheme, according to a royal expert. The Sun's Royal photographer Arthur Edwards accused Meghan Markle of "exploiting" her kids after posting rare footage of them at Disneyland last week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The ex-Suits actress covered up both Archie and Lilibet's faces Credit: Instagram 5 Some photos were angled to only show the back of the children Credit: Instagram 5 She has been accused of "exploiting" her kids with the footage Credit: Instagram Meghan posted a montage of her family as they went to the Californian theme park to celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday. The video on Instagram showed both her and Prince Harry beaming as they tackled various rides and sported Mickey Mouse ears. But the ex-Suits actress covered up both Archie, five, and Lilibet's faces with emojis and purposefully took other shots angled from behind. She captioned the video: "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!" The Sun's Royal photographer Arthur Edwards slammed Meghan's post as a "money-making scheme". Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, he said: "I don't know why we can't see the children's faces. "I think she's obviously got some sort of scheme there where she might want some money ties on one day, I don't know. "But those children, I feel sorry for them really. I mean, they've got cousins here, they're never going to meet and never going to play with. "There's palaces here and castles here that they could enjoy as well and spend summer holidays with their cousins. I feel really sorry for them, cooped up in that place. "Will we ever see their faces? I don't know, maybe one day she'll produce a calendar or something of her children's faces and that'll be sort of another Meghan special." The footage starts with Lilibet excitedly dragging her dad through the park entrance before she is given a special greeting by a Disney princess. Next, the whole family are seen on a log flume and then the four-year-old appears on a Dumbo ride. It was reminiscent of photos taken of the Duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World in Florida in 1993. The trio also took a trip to UK-theme park Alton Towers the following year. Chris Ship, ITV Royal Editor, added: "If you want to put your kids on social media, that's absolutely fine, you're taking that responsibility as a parent. "You've also got every right to keep them private and not put them on. "I just don't really like this, here's a picture of my kid, I'm going to put a big emoji over their face so you can't see because that's me protecting their privacy. "I'd rather not see them at all, if you want to protect them, rather than show them the corner of their ear in a photo." 5 Meghan Markle posted this cute snap for Lilibet's birthday Credit: instagram/meghan
