Speaking to FEMAIL about the stunning look, Laura said: ‘The royal look has gone straight out of the window and in its place is Meghan’s new A-list makeover. 

‘Meghan is definitely making a statement with her makeup choices for her last official British royal engagement. 

‘Her eye makeup is smouldering and skin is more radiant and dewier than ever. She is glowing! The Duchess appears to have contoured her cheekbones with a liquid bronzer which plays off a Mediterranean inspiration.

‘She opted for a glossy deep pink lipstick which really suits her complexion. I think she will play with brighter lip colours in the future.’

Flying the flag for British fashion! Meghan triumphs UK designers 

The Duchess of Sussex gave a masterclass in diplomatic dressing as she stepped out for the Endeavour Awards in London last night. 

Meghan, 38, wore a dress, handbag and bracelet by British designers as she joined Harry, 35, for their first engagement since ‘Megxit’. 

The royal brought a splash of colour to a rainy London evening in a stunning £950 azure blue dress by Victoria Beckham, which she accessorised with a Lucia Plexi Clutch by Stella McCartney. 

Supporting smaller labels, Meghan chose the £9,500 Chi Chi Rose Gold and Diamond Bracelet by Jessica McCormack. 

However Meghan turned to a Spanish name when it came to her shoes, plumping for tried-and-tested Manolo Blahniks.

‘Meghan usually opts for soft natural eyebrows but her brows are the most noticeable update and transforms her look into serious A-lister.’

Laura noted that Meghan’s entire look is ‘sexier’ than we have previously seen and suggests a level of confidence in her current position in life. 

The make-up artist added it could be a sign of how Meghan will choose to style herself going forward. 

My guess is, Meghan is sending the world a message and her new look is a teaser of what style we can expect to see in the future,’ Laura continued. ‘She will most definitely be wanting to become known for her own individual style.

‘Her statement yesterday appears to be “I am here”. Going forward Meghan might be more adventurous with her makeup. Heading into spring she might wear more of a shimmery look and more sparkle on her lip. I can see her opting for more of a defined eyeliner in the future.’

Last night marked the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ first official outing in the UK since announcing they would be stepping back as senior royals. 

The couple have a number of appearances scheduled this weekend, culminating on Monday when they will join senior royals including the Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the Commonwealth Day service in London. 

It is thought these will be Harry and Meghan’s last official duties before their royal roles officially come to an end on March 31.
