Meghan Markle tries her hand at a super smoky eye and nails it!

Meghan Markle just traded in her usual pared-back makeup look at Prince Charles’ 70^th birthday bash and we need to talk about it.

The Duchess was spotted arriving at Buckingham Palace with hubby Prince Harry, and the first thing we noticed was her *stunning* makeup look.

Since becoming a royal earlier this year, you’ve probably noticed that Meghan has been opting for very minimalistic and natural-looking makeup, looking positively flawless and glowing 100 per cent of the time. We’re BIG fans of this look on her, but when we spotted her wearing a rare bolder makeup look, we were equally in love.

Just check it out for yourself:

Unlike her usual neutral brown eyeshadow hues, Meghan showed off a striking and sultry-looking dark smoky eye that was blended over her upper lid and lower lash line. We also spy a sleek cat eye flick, along with those hard-to-miss fluttery lashes. It’s probably the most daring eye look we’ve seen from the Duchess in, like, forever – and we have to say, we’ve missed the old Meghan!

The royal also showed off a more bronzed complexion than usual, teamed with quite possibly the most stunning highlighted cheekbones (seriously, her skin is so luminous we’re nearly blind!) and a glossy pink lip.

On the hair front, Meghan said goodbye to her usual messy bun and wore her hair up in a classic chignon, which looked uber polished and elegant.
