Is accomplishing a three-minute Uber touch-up a prerequisite to becoming a duchess? We’re asking because we discovered this 2016 video of Meghan Markle getting her glow on in an Uber with Bobbi Brown by her side.
We have spent hours trying to perfect the on-the-go beauty ritual in moving cars. And yet, we could never do it as well as the duchess. The video was published by Hello! Canada, but it was originally shot in 2016 a few months after Meghan started seeing Prince Harry.
“I have a meeting today. We’re on hiatus from Suits so I am meeting some producers about a film. Fingers crossed,” Meghan tells Bobbi in the video. Famous people things aside, this backseat-beauty regimen is one anyone can relate to.

The Technique
For the video, Meghan Markle wore a very relaxed pale blush shirt and a knee-length black skirt as she hopped into an Uber with Bobbi Brown (if you look closely, she was also wearing a blue beaded bracelet, which had been seen on Prince Harry numerous times and is originally affiliated with the charity World Vision Canada). The makeup mogul introduced her Retouching pencil and wand from her bag. Meghan already had some makeup on and gave it a finishing touch with the help of a mirror.

A Cinderella Wand for the Duchess, Please
Bobbi Brown Retouching Wand, $31.50 at Bobbi Brown
"The Retouching Wand is actually like a Cinderella wand for your skin, it looks like you've been retouched. It's very sheer and it's literally the same color of your skin," Bobbi tells Meghan in the video. The wand essentially works like a smooth touch-up pen and has a light, creamy formula that gives even coverage. We couldn't help but notice how easily the product blends with Meghan's existing makeup.

Meghan also used the Retouching Face Pencil that doubles as a concealer and highlighter. She used two different shades under her eyes and on her inner corners. It can also be used to cover spots and small blemishes at the last minute.
