When she first became a royal, Meghan’s signature hairdo was her messy bun. However, she later began wearing beautifully sculpted and sleek updos that required her to use another nifty hack to maintain the perfect structure.
“For my flyaways, I spray hairspray on a small boar bristle toothbrush (a regular toothbrush also works great!) to lightly brush them down or smooth the hairline. This is especially good for a sleek bun when I am off-camera.”

Whether your a Hollywood star or a royal flying around forms a big part of your year. However, you quickly learn that planes are breeding grounds for germs.
But Meghan has the answer to avoid catching a cold. She once revealed on her old lifestyle blog The Tig, a trick she learned from Leonardo Di Caprio.
“He puts a little [antibacterial gel] on a cotton swab and coats the inside of his nostrils. Not only does it create a barrier for germs, it also lubricates the skin in the nose. That’s important because when the skin cracks, germs can come a running on, so the coating of the [gel] doubly protects you.”
5. Hide Tired Eyes with Highlighter

Lastly, Meghan has hacked busy late nights and early mornings that leave you looking worse for wear. To prepare for her early morning engagements Meghan turns to a trick she picked up from her time on Suits to avoid looking tired.
“To open up your eyes, apply a highlighter like Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Éclat in the inner corner. This trick is especially good when we are filming at 3 a.m. and I need to look bright eyed and bushy tailed.”
