The royals always seem to look fresh-faced and fabulous every time we see them. Though we can't all have personal makeup artists and a team of stylists, some royal beauty looks (and hacks) are surprisingly affordable. If you're wondering how the Duchess of Cambridge keeps her chestnut hair glossy and skin glowing while traveling constantly and raising three children, let it be known: she gets a little help from these products.

While most of Meghan Markle's makeup secrets are out in the open thanks to interviews the Duchess of Sussex did during her acting days, Kate likes to keep her beauty routine close to the chest. Kate has never come out and endorsed products or even revealed what she likes to use, so lucky for us, her preferred makeup artists and hairstylists have let slip which products Kate can't get enough of. As it so happens, most of her favorite picks are drugstore hidden gems!

Shimmer Brick Highlighter Mini

The Duchess of Cambridge was the picture of a blushing bride on her wedding day and this bronzer palette had something to do with it. With "artistry assistance" from Bobbi Brown pro Hannah Martin, the royal used this shimmer brick on her cheeks for a subtle glow. The full-size version will run you $48, but you can pick up a mini version from Sephora for half the cost.
