Meghan Markle's go-to concealer pen for her ‘five-minute face' makeup lands on sale
The Duchess of Sussex is known for her understated makeup, which she has cultivated to enhance her natural beauty without concealing her favourite features - like her freckles.
Relying on lightweight and light-coverage picks for her go-to everyday makeup look, one of Meghan's firm favourites is this Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen, which she uses to keep her makeup routine short, sweet and simple. And right now, not only can you bag Meghan's go-to complexion product, it's also on sale at Lookfantastic.
Retailing for £32 from Boots and £25.60 from Debenhams, the YSL Illuminating Pen is up for grabs for the similarly discounted price of £25.60 thanks to Lookfantastic's sale.
According to her online 'make-up bag' where she lists her favourite products for fans to buy, Meghan describes her beauty routine by saying: "[my] routine is very simple — I call it the five-minute face.' She tells Allure, 'It's just Touche Éclat, curled lashes, mascara, Chap Stick, and a little bit of blush."
This multi-purpose highlighter pen shapes, highlights, and contours the face, creating a sculpted visage with a natural glow that doesn't leave a cakey finish or too much coverage. Perfect for brightening the centre of your nose, masking under-eye circles and accentuating the cupid's bow, brow-bone and cheekbones, this multi-purpose highlighter pen helps to create the illusion of sculpted features by illuminating the high points of your face.
Securing Meghan her lit-from-within luminosity, this makeup pen is described as 'eight hours of beauty sleep' in a pen. Boasting a lightweight fluid that expertly lightens the appearance of pigmentation for a more unified complexion, the light-diffusing technology helps to blur the look of expression lines and crow's feet, for a seamless and younger-looking finish to disguises lines and discolouration.
Free from any shimmer or glitter, differing from alternative illumanating products, the Touche Éclat Highlighter offers a sheer to medium coverage that looks flawless and completely natural. This pen comes in a diverse spectrum of different shades for a perfect match to your natural colour and tone.
Enriched with Calendula extract and antioxidant-rich Vitamin E, this skincare-infused makeup gem offers moisturising benefits and helps to shield skin from external stressors while lightly concealing imperfections for a rejuvinated and restored complexion that won't take more than a few minutes.

Meghan Markle facing fresh blow to major project as huge shake-up is on cards
Meghan Markle could be facing a fresh blow when it comes to another of her projects - her podcast - amid a major shake-up at the company that produces it The future of Meghan Markle 's podcast is up in the air amid reports that her and Harry's lucrative multi-million pound Netflix deal is not being renewed. Earlier this month, it was reported that the streaming platform has decided not to renew the contract it holds with the Sussexes once it runs out in a few months time. They are believed to have signed a five-year deal worth around $100million in September 2020. And now, Meghan's podcast, titled Confessions of a Female Founder, could be in jeopardy as the production company behind the project prepares for a major shake-up. The Duchess of Sussex began the series in April with the intention of giving a platform to female entrepreneurs to share their personal stories and experiences of building a business. The podcast series, which is produced by Lemonada Media rather than Spotify like her previous podcast Archetypes, was billed as a space for honest discussions and practical advice for aspiring founders. Despite the success of Meghan's podcast that highlights female-run businesses, the future of the project is now up in the air. According to Page Six, Lemonada Media is now set to be acquired by Swedish podcast group PodX, sparking uncertainty around the future direction of the company. The company has built a wide-ranging portfolio, including more than 50 original series and close to 40 partner shows. Alongside Meghan's podcast, its slate includes Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and The Sarah Silverman Podcast. PodX has steadily been acquiring several production companies around the world, with the podcasts run by those companies facing uncertain futures after the acquisitions. While the future of Confessions of a Female Founder is still unsure, the news of Lemonada's future comes after Meghan admitted she was 'spread too thin' while working on her various other projects. The Duchess of Sussex made the frank admission during a candid chat with Emma Grede on her Aspire podcast. Meghan revealed that her own podcast would not be coming back for a second season any time soon, as she focuses more on her lifestyle brand As Ever. Meghan acknowledged "that there is so much excitement and desire for another season" of the podcast, but added, "I need to focus on my business. People seem to forget that very rarely do people see everything that's happening behind the scenes." The podcast launched at the same time that Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever announced its first product drop, which Meghan said "was perfect synergy". She reflected on the busy time in her life as she juggled her multiple businesses, saying: "As I knew I was in this building phase of my business, what an amazing opportunity to pull back the curtain and let people see what's happening at the start, when all the twists and turns are there. "For me to have the opportunity to talk to so many female founders who've been on that full trajectory—that are on the other side of success, but still at certain chapters in their career and their growth—but to be able to be really candid and vulnerable personally about my learns and stumbles along the way and then to take everyone's advice—and mine included." Joking with podcast host Emma Grede, Meghan said: "At a certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is my jam."

I know why this is the beginning of the end for Meghan & Harry – it's the worst time for him since the dog bowl fiasco
Netflix pulled the plug on the couple's lucrative deal - which explains the whiff of desperation around some of their recent activity, says Caroline Bullock THAT'S A WRAP I know why this is the beginning of the end for Meghan & Harry – it's the worst time for him since the dog bowl fiasco Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AND that, folks, is a wrap. Amid dwindling viewing figures, the plug has been pulled on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's £100million Netflix deal - and as their clout and currency drip away, one alarming question remains. 6 A second series of With Love, Meghan has been filmed and will be released, but no further projects with the streamer have been planned Credit: BackGrid Where do they go from here? You see for the Duke of Sussex, in particular, this might just be the biggest blow since he claims his brother Prince William knocked him to the floor onto a dog bowl during a 2019 confrontation over his marriage to Meghan, as recounted in his autobiography, Spare. Desperate to prove himself and justify the couple's 2020 departure from 'the firm', the much-hyped Netflix partnership commercially anchored their new life providing profits as well as purpose. BIGGEST BLOW Of course, an 18-bed Montecito mansion luxe lifestyle doesn't come cheap. But as well as the big bucks, the streaming giant was an opportunity for the Sussexes to establish themselves as major media players. The deal through their media production company, Archewell, promised content which 'informs but also gives hope' through a 'truthful and relatable lens' - but in the end only delivered the big switch-off. FAMILY MUD-SLINGING Trouble is - family mud-slinging and royal revelations aside - it seems the pair ran out of interesting things to say…. even when sat in the executive producer's chair. No, the viewing public wasn't gripped by the documentary, Polo, with its glimpse into the privileged and glamorous 'Sport of Kings' and a favourite pastime of the 40-year-old prince. In fact, only 500,000 people have watched the series in six months – which also featured a cameo appearance from the Sussexes hob-knobbing with the fellow glossy posse, including Meghan's mega mate Serena Williams. And it seems the Duchess's jam-making no longer hits the sweet spot. According to Netflix's latest data, the 43-year-old's lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, failed to break into its top 300 programmes for the first half of 2025. Harry & Meghan peace talks motive EXPOSED - they'll beg for handouts now Netflix deal's scrapped 6 Harry and Meghan only made a cameo in their Netflix documentary Polo Credit: Netflix 6 Meghan's Netflix show With Love, Meghan didn't make the top 300 programmes for the first six months of the year Credit: PA OK, so Meghan's reincarnation as the millennial Martha Stewart undoubtedly created a buzz initially. Many were ready to lap up the former Suits star's aspirational and artful fruit platters and floral place arrangements and a slice of the luxe homemaker 'authentic' life – albeit one filmed at a rented Santa Barbara property rather than her own estate. But inevitably a show heavy on style over substance was always destined to fizzle out – with proceedings wilting faster than the Duchess's much-used edible flower sprinkles. FIZZLED OUT Perhaps it all explains the whiff of desperation around some of the couple's recent activity - including a greater sharing of family images, despite reportedly wanting to keep their children out of the spotlight. We've seen more of son Archie and daughter Lilibet's faces on Instagram – including in a recent Father's Day tribute picture and on Lilibet's birthday last month. And what about that most unroyal candid throwback video of Meghan twerking in a hospital room to induce labour before her daughter was born back in 2021? 6 Meghan and Harry kicked off their time as non-working royals with a bang, with their Netflix tell-all series Credit: NETFLIX 6 Meghan shared a video of her and Harry dancing in hospital before giving birth to Lili Credit: Instagram The late Queen would not have been amused. Not to mention Meghan's much maligned mood board posted on Instagram – that pictorial celebration of the couple's 'love story' including baby scans and romantic clinches all smacked of a thirst for attention that was on the wane. Meanwhile, signs of a more meaningful Plan B are emerging. Meredith Maines, the Duke's chief communications officer, and Liam Maguire, who runs Harry and Meghan's UK public relations team were pictured meeting with King Charles' communication secretary at the Royal Over-Seas League near Clarence House in recent weeks. Could this signal the start of renewed dialogue between father and son and some sort of return – however occasional or part time - for the exiled Prince? It's long overdue. Meghan will be staying put, firmly ensconced in California with an eye on the next project. But make no mistake, the LA sun is setting on Harry's American dream. No one can put a spin or gloss on waning public interest and a high-profile flop project. How Meghan and Harry are investing their Netflix millions HARRY and Meghan have begun investing their Netflix millions in a property portfolio. They have bought a new home in Portugal, around the corner from Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie and her husband. But the Sussexes, who have been spending an increasing amount of time apart, do not plan to live in their new pad, The Sun understands. It is not known if the property will be rented out, used for Airbnb-style holiday lets or used purely to park money. But it is seen as the first step of putting earnings from their TV and book deals into a global property empire. 'They're being smart with their money,' a source said. They pocketed £75million from streaming giant Netflix where they laid into fellow royals in a six-part series. Meanwhile Harry, who got a £15million advance for his autobiography Spare, also inherited £8million from the late Queen Mother after turning 40 in September. Palace insiders have been concerned about what will happen when the Sussexes run out of cash. They have huge overheads, forking out a fortune on security in the US and for when Harry visits the UK. And they are still paying a mortgage on the £11million Montecito mansion they bought after quitting as working royals in 2020. Insiders say the Portugal home will be part of a financial portfolio which will include more real estate. The Duke has lost face and will feel the effects acutely. This is the time for getting back to basics and being true to himself, which means a shift away from celebrity and tacky commercial work to charity work and projects with more substance. The couple's increasingly separate appearances of late indicate their working future lies in individual roles that play to their different strengths and interests. It's the end of a joint brand that assumed an adoring public would only simper and sympathise with their 'plight' against the a British monarchy. 6 Prince Harry walking through a minefield in Dirico, Angola Credit: AP Prince Harry's official visit to Angola last week – retracing his mother Princess Diana's 1997 landmine walk may have attracted some criticism for copying, but it is in fact a reminder of where his focus should be and true value lies. It's easy to forget amid the recent petulance, faults and feud that this is a man who connects well with the public, who can induce good will and - when channelled the right way - deploys soft royal power perhaps better than anyone without the stuffiness, very much like his late mother. It's why his Californian exile remains a waste of his time and talents. The Netflix flop may be a fresh low point in the Sussex story but perhaps it can signal a turning point for change and a more constructive new chapter.
