In an interview with Glamour magazine, Daniel Martin explained that “I wanted her eyes to almost "flutter" as she looked up at Harry (he's 6'1"). I customized and shaped out some corner lashes to give her that doe-eye look, pulling them out on the outer corners. This added weight to her natural lashes without looking heavy.”
Daniel Martin also revealed that to create a glowy wedding make-up look for Meghan, he explained that “I used a luminizer with a dual fiber brush to stipple on top of her foundation. I then used my finger to lightly tap a cream coral color on the apples of her cheeks to add a slight flush as well.”
