For Meghan Markle, becoming the Duchess of Sussex has doubled as an opportunity to hone a beauty equation worthy of modern royal. And just as her trademark raven lengths are known to swing freely over her shoulders or escape insouciantly from easy updos, Markle s makeup—and manicures—seem to be colored by a simple yet striking monochromatic palette.
Today, for a visit to the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibit at London s Southbank Centre with husband Prince Harry, the Duchess drew from the hue of her sleeveless Nonie trench dress when considering her head-to-toe look, opting for cheeks awash in a warm shade of blushing pink and an identical swipe of lipstick. But to ensure the statement added up, she selected a fresh shade of pastel rose nail lacquer that was a pitch perfect match to her dress, heels, and even her Mulberry clutch—and made for a subtly sophisticated new riff on the anything-but-basic royal manicure.
