Duchess Meghan Appears Without Makeup and in Sweatpants
Duchess Meghan recently appeared on 'The Jamie Kern Lima Show' podcast, where she chatted with the host about various topics. What made her appearance special was that Meghan was completely without makeup and dressed in a tracksuit. Entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima is not only the co-founder of the cosmetics brand It Cosmetics, which was sold to L'Oréal in 2016, but she was also included in Forbes' 'America's Richest Self-Made Women' list in 2017. In addition to her business ventures, she hosts her own podcast and recently had Duchess Meghan as a guest. Not only was it Meghan's first podcast interview, but she also appeared completely without makeup. Here's the story behind it. In an Instagram post, Jamie Kern Lima announced the podcast interview with the Duchess and expressed her excitement: 'Meghan opens up like never before and shares real, unfiltered, and touching stories, insights, and inspirations. I've never cried so much in an interview — and in the best way possible!' Kern Lima writes on Instagram. The two women sit together in casual clothing, wearing no makeup, and have made themselves comfortable in rocking chairs. Kern Lima explains the reasoning: 'She and I decided to do the episode the way we spend most of our time together — makeup-free, in our sweatpants, and cozy in these two rocking chairs I have at home.' The decision to conduct the interview without makeup proves to be the right one, especially when Duchess Meghan sheds her first tears while speaking lovingly about her children, Archie and Lilibet. 'That's why it's so nice not to wear makeup,' the 43-year-old says with a laugh. But Meghan is not only without makeup; she has also chosen a very casual outfit. The Duchess wears black, loose-fitting sweatpants without cuffs at the hem, a matching black sweatshirt, and white sneakers. Her hair is styled in soft waves, and she forgoes noticeable accessories. The honest, straightforward, and natural interview is well-received by social media users. One user comments, 'You both look naturally fantastic.' Another says, 'Meghan is so inspiring.' Others are thrilled to see a natural and makeup-free Meghan: 'Looks like a great interview where she can just be herself. I can't wait to see it!' The post Duchess Meghan Appears Without Makeup and in Sweatpants appeared first on STYLEBOOK.

Meghan Markle reveals facial feature that prevented deals from beauty brands
Meghan Markle has revealed the facial feature that prevented her from being offered deals from beauty brands. The Duchess of Sussex has admitted beauty brands were reluctant to hire her even after she found fame in the TV show Suits. She claims one aspect of her complexion was the cause of their decision to avoid offering her deals. Meghan, 43, starred as Rachel Zane for seven years on the legal series Suits, but prior to hitting it big in entertainment, her commercial agent hit major roadblocks. The As Ever lifestyle brand founder, who went makeup-free to record the chat, discussed challenges in the beauty industry during an episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show. She says companies were not keen because of her natural, freckled complexion. "That would have been when I was an actor auditioning for commercials," Markle said. "And I remember my commercial agent could not submit me for beauty or skincare ads because I had freckles." She added, "They're like, 'No, no, no, no. It's just never going to work because freckles aren't a sign of beauty.'" Markle noted that at the time "you couldn't see yourself reflected" in major skincare and beauty campaigns. Lima, who founded the popular It Cosmetics brand in 2008, wondered, "What if I could launch a business where I put real people as models? Every age and shape and size and skin tone and skin challenge?" "And that was such new thinking then, when you were bringing that to market," Markle said. "Now it may seem more normalised. People listening now will be like, 'Well, yeah, of course.' It was not an 'of course.' It was a revolutionary way to think about makeup and beauty at the time." The former Deal or No Deal model left her Suits role in 2018 in pursuit of love and life across the pond with Prince Harry. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from senior royal responsibilities and moved to California in 2020, nearly two years after they married at Windsor Castle. She's shied away from returning to television as an actress, but Suits creator Aaron Korsh admitted earlier this year that the duchess has an open invite to return for the Suits LA spin-off. "We have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor," Korsh told People magazine in February.

"I think, for me, that's a little ... my brain blows up at the thought of that. Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back." Korsh added, " But I think, realistically, it would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall to do that." Markle has stayed busy since her acting career was put on pause. After the successful Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, and her new lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, she launched her As Ever lifestyle brand this month, nearly one year after initially naming the company American Riviera Orchard. The As Ever line included eight items inspired by the duchess' love of cooking, entertaining and hostessing. The first drop for the brand noted limited quantities of a crêpe mix, shortbread cookie mix, a few flavors of tea, flower sprinkles, honey and a raspberry spread, all of which sold out in less than an hour. The duchess shed new light on why she changed names during a recent episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan, noting that American Riviera Orchard "became this word salad," adding, "I don't love that so much."
