There are some makeup looks that stick with us forever. Sometimes they inspire us to attempt our own version, which often fails, and sometimes we really just love to admire the iconic photos for years and years afterward. Any specific looks coming to mind? We definitely know ours, and it seems simple, but it’s quickly become a timeless classic!

If we’re hoping to recreate a royal look for ourselves, we’re going to want to take a peek at the Dior Capture Youth New Skin Effect Enzyme Solution. It’s an absolute favorite of Daniel Martin, who is the mastermind behind Duchess Meghan’s ethereal wedding day glam! Martin, a top editorial and celebrity makeup artist, is a Dior Brand Ambassador and consults on longtime client Jessica Alba’s brand Honest Beauty. He is the best of the best, and we love that he’s spilling his skincare and makeup secrets!

As he revealed to Harper’s BAZAAR, Martin always preps his clients’ skin by exfoliating, using this Dior lotion “for clients who have sensitive, dry, or mature skin.” He said that it’s great to “help even out skin tone,” setting a smooth base for flawless makeup application.

For Duchess Meghan’s wedding day, Martin revealed the affordable product he used to perfect the elegant bride’s radiant shimmer, a quality she specifically likes in her makeup:

“I tapped Honest Beauty Magic Balm onto her cheeks to give them a little bounce; since it’s glossy it really pumps up the highlight in photos,” he explained. Morning dew had nothing on the duchess’ cheeks that day, so be right back while we add this to our cart!

We want to delve a little deeper in to the Dior Capture Youth New Skin Effect Enzyme Solution for a bit. This lotion claims to soften skin by 65%, using papaya enzymes to exfoliate the face while working alongside Iris Florentina, known for its anti-oxidizing power. Fruity and floral ingredients? Count Us in.

This lotion has a watery texture, making it easy to glide onto skin with fingers. We can also saturate a cotton pad with the formula, pressing it onto our face and neck morning and night!

This Made-in-France skin solution not only claims to soften skin, but to clarify and brighten it as well. These benefits may all combine together to leave us with a youthful glow. The healthier the skin, the less likely we are to see aging concerns pop up unexpectedly! That’s why this product is known as an age-delayer.

With this youthful Dior lotion and the Honest Beauty Magic Balm, we’re two steps closer to glowing like a royal. Two very, very big steps. Colossal, even. A combination of effective skincare and makeup that brings out our best features is unstoppable, and we know we’ve just found ours!
