Daniel Martin, Meghan Markle’s trusted makeup artist, has been a constant figure in her life for more than a decade.
Their professional relationship began when Meghan was working on the series “Suits”. From then on, they kept in touch, even asking him for help with her blog “The Tig,” further strengthening their bond.
What did makeup artist Daniel Marin say about Meghan Markle?
Martin played a crucial role during Meghan’s royal career. He was described as a loving “guncle” to Meghan’s children, Archie and Lilibet.
Without a doubt, his highlight was when he did Meghan’s makeup for her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, an event that cemented him in royal history.
In addition, he worked with her on several official events during his two years as an active member of the British royals.
However, in the last two years, it seems that the relationship between them has changed.
Meghan did her own hair and makeup during her recent tour to Nigeria.
The last known collaboration between them was in May 2022, when Meghan and Harry visited the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.
Since then, Daniel has been busy working with big Hollywood stars like Rachel McAdams, Nicola Coughlan, Olivia Munn, Ali Wong and Maya Rudolph, as seen in his recent Instagram posts.
Despite this apparent distance, Martin has stated that he is still in contact with Meghan.
In an interview with US Weekly, he commented that Meghan has “more room to play” with her style now.
He also mentioned that during her time in Nigeria, Meghan was doing everything herself, from hair to makeup, and doing it exceptionally well.
“she loves some blush. She loves the cheek. She loves a big brow,” Martin added, praising her skill.
Although Daniel and Meghan have had a very close and meaningful professional relationship, current circumstances have led to a rift in their collaborations.
