Meghan Markle has her signature effortless, glowy makeup look down pat. But that's not to say she doesn't switch things up from time to time. (We’re still not over the red lip she wore to the Cirque du Soleil Totem premiere back in 2019.) And with Meg and Harry attending the Platinum Jubilee over the weekend, we wanted to take a moment to highlight nine of our all-time favorite Meghan Markle makeup looks throughout the years.

1. Dramatic Lashes + Rosy Cheeks + Nude Lips
When we found out Meg and Harry were attending the Platinum Jubilee, we had one thing on our minds (other than the Queen finally meeting Lilibet of course): Meghan's beauty look. And she did not disappoint at Service of Thanksgiving, rocking her signature nude lips and rosy cheeks. But our favorite part of her glam? Her extra fluttery lashes, which come courtesy of a really good mascara and her longtime MUA, Daniel Martin.

2. Blue Shimmer Eyeshadow + Rosy Cheeks + Pink Lips
We simply can't forget Meghan's last official royal engagement back in 2020. Her green Emilia Wickstead dress definitely deserves all the attention, but the bold blue eyeshadow she wore with it deserves love too. The contrasting but complementary colors blend beautifully together, and adding her signature nude blush and lip combo to the mix makes this look a memorable one to mark her time as a Duchess.

3. Dark Liner + Glowy Cheeks + Pink Lips
Markle opted for a little more makeup than her traditional barely-there look during a visit at the University of Chichester in England, and it totally paid off. In a 2014 interview with Allure, the Duchess of Sussex mentioned her affinity for NARS blush in Orgasm, so we have to wonder whether it was responsible for her flushed cheeks in this look.

4. Dramatic Eyes + Bronzed Skin + Nude Lips
MM's eyes totally pop (even beneath her fascinator) thanks to bold eyeliner and mascara. We're guessing Markle's makeup artist applied a few layers of her favorite mascara (Maybelline's Lash Sensational Luscious formula) to make them really stand out.

5. Defined Brows + Smoky Lids + Rosy Lips
The Duchess of Sussex surprised fans (and no doubt, the royal family) when she stepped out for Cirque du Soleil's Totem premiere in this decidedly un-Meghan-like makeup.

6. Glowy Complexion + Long Lashes + Pink Lips
Did you really think we could make this list without including Markle's wedding day makeup? Her clear, glowy complexion, long sultry lashes and pink lips were *chef's kiss*.

7. Defined Brows + Dewy Skin + Peachy Lips
We're pretty sure that the former actress's glow here has a lot to do with the fact that she was finally saying goodbye to her Senior Royal duties, but a good highlight will have (almost) the same effect.

8. Full Lashes + Light Blush + Glossy Lips
The Duchess went classic for her visit with Irish President Michael Higgins in 2018. She enhanced her natural beauty by adding volume to her lashes, a little blush to her cheeks and a touch of gloss on her lips.

9. Smoky Eyes + Even Complexion + Bold Lips
This look dates all the way back to 2016, before Meghan and Harry even started dating. We gotta say, we love the bold Hollywood glam on her.
Get the look: Revlon lipstick ($9); NYX eyeshadow ($18); Stila eyeliner ($23); Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer ($49)
