Meghan Markle's Favorite Beauty Product of All Time Is $38

A quick search for the Duchess of Sussex will yield hundreds of tutorials on how to get her enviable glow. In fact, her fresh-faced complexion even has its own moniker: the Markle Sparkle. (Catchy, right?)

Lucky for us, the secret behind her royal shine is surprisingly simple: Laura Mercier's Illuminating Primer, which she layers over her moisturizer to give her skin a dewy sheen when she's not wearing makeup. As the duchess explained in an interview, "It's not sparkly. It's true to its name…illuminating." 

We can attest from experience. The primer has a soft pearly tint that blurs the appearance of pores and fine lines and subtly brightens your entire face.
