    Safe to say the new royal looks beautiful

    We've finally caught sight of Meghan Markle's wedding dress and make-up and, of course, she looks incredible – it's no surprise Prince Harry whispered this to her at the altar.

    The 36-year-old reportedly enlisted two of her best friends from America to do her make-up for the big day, and while we don't know the exact products used, we're fairly sure some of Meghan Markle's favourite make-up products are at play here.

    Read on as we break down the products Meghan used so you can recreate the look for yourself.

    Lips

    A pinkish nude was swept across Meghan's lips, adding a very subtle hue to her natural lip colour. Although her favourite lipstick is a brownish, pink nude, this shade didn't have the same brown tones as Very Victoria.

    Nails

    Her nails complemented the whole look perfectly; the shape was simple - short and round and the colour, a pinky-nude, didn't overshadow the rings.
