Who are the New York-based duo responsible for Meghan Markle's bridal beauty look?
It's been the most anticipated wedding of the year but finally Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have tied the knot. The pair united their marriage among hundreds of friends and family just moments ago at Windsor Castle. Here's what we know about the duo behind the Duchess of Sussex's look...
Her hairstylist
New York-based Serge Normant, who was born and raised in Paris, is a leading global hairdresser. He has worked with the likes of Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gisele Bundchen, so he is certainly well-placed to create a look that thousands of eyes would see. It's safe to assume, however, that the voluminous, glamorous updo he created for Ms Markle is his biggest moment yet.
Normant runs two salons in New York, co-owned by John Frieda. Serge began his career in Paris, and after much success he moved to New York to pursue freelance work. He has worked with the likes of Chanel and Estee Lauder for beauty campaigns, as well as worked for shoots within pages of US Vogue and Allure magazine.
In 2001, Serge published his first book, Femme Fatale, which examines hairstyling throughout the 20th century. His second book, Metamorphosis (2004), transforms the looks of well-known actresses and models from the contemporary to the extraordinary.
Her make-up artist
Like Serge Normant, her make-up artist Daniel Martin is New- York based. Martin is a leading make-up artist who shoots for Vogue, Harper's Bazzar, Teen Vogue and also has an A-list clientele list that includes Jessica Alba, Elettra Wiedemann and Chrissy Teigen and has been doing the Duchess' make-up for many years for both social and personal events.
In a previous interview The Duchess of Sussex has referred to him as her "right-hand man" and an essential source of beauty in her life to help create her beauty style for special occasions. Martin originally started his career in the corporate world of beauty at Aveda and then quit to pursue his editorial career. Martin is regularly many celebrities make-up artist of choice for events such as the Met Gala, The Oscars and other similar awards ceremonies.
