Meghan Markle’s favorite mascara has been revealed and Royal fans would be shocked to find out it’s a drugstore cult classic! That’s right, The Duchess of Sussex is obsessed with a drugstore mascara, so much so she has even recommended it to some of her makeup artists. We tried the item for ourselves, and we have to admit, she may be on to something!

During an interview with HELLO magazine, one of Meghan Markle’s makeup artist, Lydia Sellers, reveals the Duchess’ go-to product for the best eyelashes. Sellers actually worked with Meghan Markle from 2015-2017 while shooting the hit-tv show, Suits. The makeup artists had nothing but nice words to say with regards to working with Markle, telling the magazine, “Meghan is the type of girl with many talents” she said. “She is someone that is ‘in the know’ when it comes to products, tips, tricks, and trends,” Sellers told the publication. So when she recommends something, you know it’s gotta be good!

Meghan Markle has always had a very natural approach to her makeup. It is rare to see the Duchess of Sussex sporting a smokey eye or even a colorful pop of color on her lips. With regards to her makeup routine, Sellers told HELLO, “Meghan is very self-assured when it comes to what she likes in a beauty routine and our time together very rarely ventured too far from her classic makeup look.”

There is one staple item that is consistently part of Meghan’s makeup routine, and that is her favorite mascara. When asked about Meghan’s luscious lashes, Sellers comments, “Meghan actually introduced me to a drugstore mascara, Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious Mascara. I keep it stocked in my kit now at all times thanks to her!” Sellers raves about the $7 drugstore mascara explaining, “This mascara really helps to amplify your lashes and polish off the entire look. It’s great for full volume and lengthening, the formula is super hydrating. I love how it builds, and that the price point is accessible for all budgets.”

We did some digging online and found Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Luscious Mascara online at Amazon.com for $6.78. If you are a prime member, you can enjoy FREE shipping. We purchased one directly through Amazon actually got it within a day! The mascara comes in six different colors and features a wide-brimmed wand to help maximize volume. We actually tried this item for ourselves and found that the wand is fairly large but that is because it covers every single angle and every single lash possible, thus giving you a falseys look. You can purchase a pack of two. for $11.98 (plus FREE shipping) that is less than $6 bucks per tube.

If a Royal recommendation is not enough to convince you to try this mascara, check out the over 25,000 reviews on Amazon. One customer writes, I can not even begin to declare my love for this mascara. Two words: holy grail!! I’ve tried every mascara on the market, high end to low end and this has got to be my favorite so far. I jumped after putting two coats, they were SO HUGE and FAKE LOOKING. It’s insane. I don’t have very many lashes and they are thin but this made me look like I had hundred and hundreds of beautiful separate long thick lashes. It’s everything you could want in a mascara.”
