Meghan Markle opted for a red carpet-ready make-up look as she watched the LA Dodgers take on the Toronto Blue Jays at the Dodger Stadium on Tuesday.

While the Duchess of Sussex, 44, sported the perfect casual outfit for a baseball games in her blue jeans, white shirt and baseball cap baseball game, her make-up painted a vastly different picture.

Clinging onto Prince Harry, 41, and sitting front row, Meghan highlighted her natural beauty with a full base, glimmering highlighted cheeks, and heavy blush - amid rumours that her next business venture will be a beauty brand.

Iryna Khomyakova, a makeup artist at Backstage Salon in Chelsea, told the Daily Mail that Meghan appeared to be 'playing with the boundaries of her signature minimal beauty'.

'Traditionally, Meghan has leaned into a skin-first, minimal makeup aesthetic: dewy skin, neutral tones, subtle definition,' she said of the royal's more 'sculpted' look.

Just hours earlier, the mother-of-two appeared virtually make-up free in an Instagram video unveiling the festive collection for her brand, As Ever.

'She appears to be wearing a heavier foundation or complexion product, creating a more even, uniform finish across her skin,' Iryna noted.

'Her cheeks look warmer and more sculpted, suggesting the use of noticeable blush and contour or bronzer to add definition.

Meghan also shared pictures posing with basketball legend Magic Johnson and his wife Cookie.

'There also seems to be slightly stronger eye definition than we've seen from her recently, although this is more subtle beneath her cap and in the lighting at the event.'

She added that Meghan kept her lips neutral, which 'balances the stronger complexion to keep the overall look polished but not night-out heavy.'

The motivation for this, Iryna said, could be to signal 'dual identity' between motherhood and her public persona.

She said: 'Dressing casually but pairing with elevated makeup creates a subtle contrast; says "I'm relaxed but intentionally present".'

'Meghan may be signalling a dual identity: accessible, down-to-earth mum and partner, yet still someone who commands attention and carries elegance.'

'The look feels curated rather than default; casual outfit with a polished face is an intentional balance of approachability and poise.'

She noted that while the Duchess had chosen a heavier base, she still opted for a 'skin-like finish' with a hydrated base and 'no cake,' a term meaning make-up looks dry or too heavy.

By keeping her lips neutral, Meghan 'let the cheeks and complexion be the hero'.

The change of look could be another indication that Meghan is planning to launch her own makeup in yet another business venture.

Over the past few weeks, The Duchess has been seen in public more than ever, as she has been seen attending multiple glamorous, high-profile events, such as Paris Fashion Week, and the Project Healthy Minds gala in New York City.

She also travelled to Washington DC to attend the Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, before being spotted in LA to support the George Zajfen Tennis Tournament.

What's more, Meghan has also documented the behind-the-scenes of these cross-country adventures, as she revealed the fun and intimate details of her trip by highlighting her various makeup looks.

It's thought this could be part of her preparation to launch a makeup brand as sources recently told the Mail on Sunday that she could make a 'lot more money in beauty than selling pots of jam.'

During several of her most recent appearances, Meghan has been seen to favour a very fresh, glowy complexion.

At Paris Fashion Week a few weeks ago, the Duchess attended the Balenciaga show in support of the brand’s latest creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli.

In preparation for the event, she hired the help of Daniel Martin, her longtime friend and makeup artist who completed her 2018 wedding day look.

Revealing the secret to Meghan’s current look, which highlights her flawless complexion, he broke down the technique in an Instagram post, explaining that he combines her foundation with a £83 Longevity serum from luxury Japanese skincare brand Tatcha.

He said powder is only used on the t-zone of so to not detract from the moisturised glow achieved using the foundation technique.

Yesterday, the couple enjoyed front row seats as they attended the LA Dodgers in the World Series.

The Duke and Duchess appeared on the big screen several times during the match as Fox TV cameras focused in to capture their reaction.

Meghan was seen anxiously clasping her hands together as she watched the game in anticipation.

LA Dodgers fans were left furious by the seating arrangement, which saw basketball icon Magic Johnson and baseball legend Sandy Koufax snubbed as they watched the match from behind the Sussexes.

Yesterday, the couple enjoyed front row seats as they attended the LA Dodgers in the World Series.

Sandy is a four-time World Series winner and Hall of Fame pitcher while Magic is a part owner of the Dodgers.

It's thought that their seats would have cost tens of thousands of pounds though it is unclear if they paid for them themselves or if they were invited as VIPs by the team.

The Major League Baseball official Instagram shared a clip of the Sussexes greeting fans as they strolled towards the enviable seats.

Commentators online were in disbelief, with some sports fans saying they should 'leave'.
