The truth about Meghan Markle's 'bare-faced look': Makeup artist Daniel Martin reveals the products he uses to make the Duchess look 'all natural'
The Duchess of Sussex 's makeup artist, Daniel Martin, has revealed the secret behind Meghan's 'no makeup' look.
The New York-based creative, who is one of Meghan's closest friends, having collaborated with the mother-of-two since her Suit days, shared the product on a Gloss Angeles podcast episode with hosts Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan.
'This is a new product that's in my kit,' Daniel said before revealing it to be Live Tinted Hueglow, liquid highlighter drops that retail at $38 (£28).
He continued, 'It does this beautiful glass. I used it on Meghan for an event, and it just gives your skin this beautiful; it's like when Pat McGrath did the whole mask that just made skin look like glass. It's that, but in a product.
Co-host Kirbie asked, 'So you used that on her body?' To which he answered, 'I used it on Meghan's body, Meghan's face, because it just adds this radiance to the skin that doesn't look like makeup.'
Daniel, who also did the duchess's makeup on the day of her royal wedding to Prince Harry, added that the item comes in multiple shades and that he used Golden Hour on Meghan, 43.
'I add it to foundation too if I want to a bit of radiance because the texture feels like skincare,' he continued.
'It's very compatible with makeup, and sometimes with makeup, things can get too shiny if it's already like shimmery, whereas this just gives it an added like lacquer.'
Elsewhere in the podcast episode, the makeup artist discussed his social media presence.
Before explaining that he doesn't plan to use TikTok despite having an account, Daniel said, 'I don't really promote work, I share my work. I share the situations I'm in with certain people.
'I don't create content specifically to try to get new business on that platform, and I think a lot of people are in that weird struggle right now. It's like, how do I show up in this space?
'And especially a fifty-something-year-old person, I don't want to come across looking so thirsty.'
Daniel's appearance on the show follows reports that Meghan allegedly plans to add hotels and restaurants to her As Ever lifestyle brand.
Meghan is trademarking her brand As Ever for 'hospitality services', The Sun first reported.
This will reportedly include places to stay, as well as temporary lodgings and 'provision of food and drink', the newspaper revealed.
Meghan could dish up a selection of her own edible creations, incorporating recipes she featured on her recent Netflix eight-part cooking show With Love, Meghan.
Brand experts have claimed hotels and restaurants fit in nicely with the Duchess' business brand.
Meghan touched on the topic of hosting guests in the first episode of her series, 'When I have someone stay, one of my favourite things to do is prep the guest room.'
A second series of the show has already been filmed and is set to be released this Autumn, despite a series of less than ideal reviews following the programme's release in March.
The show saw Meghan reveal her tips and tricks for hosting guests, as well as different recipes and party planning hacks.
Her lifestyle brand's website states, 'As Ever is more than a brand - it's a love language.
'Created by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, As Ever welcomes you to a collection of products, each inspired by her long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining and hostessing.'
Meghan's representatives declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
The news comes after Meghan took a break from her busy work schedule as she embarked on a trip to Disneyland with husband Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The Duchess shared a series of special moments from their visit in a new post on Instagram.
It appears the special time away was at least in part to celebrate their daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday.
According to Meghan's post, it appears the family had a good time - sharing details of their trip, including some of the snacks they enjoyed.
Notably, one picture show a large pile of corndogs and pickles on a table.
It is not known what the family paid for their holiday, but the pictures certainly made it appear as though they made the most of their time away.
As well as having a blast on numerous rides, both Lilibet and their son Archie, six, had the chance to meet Disney princess Elsa from Frozen.
Meghan held her children's hands as they slowly walked over to take pictures with the character in a sweet moment.
Meghan and Harry's kids also had fun on some rides at the amusement park, such as Dumbo the Flying Elephant and the Cars ride.
The couple - who tied the knot in 2018 - also enjoying the offerings, including the Space Mountain ride.

Jack Grealish posts cryptic message as he enjoys summer holiday after being exiled by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola - as team-mate Erling Haaland shares sad update without his close friend
Jack Grealish has shared a cryptic message during a summer holiday after the England star was left out of Manchester City 's squad for the Club World Cup. City will head to the United States for the tournament, with their first game of the campaign on June 18 against Moroccan side Wydad. They will also play Juventus and Al Ain in the group stage. Grealish is understood to have been left out so he can find a new club to join this summer. Guardiola has already acknowledged he may leave, and England manager Thomas Tuchel has told the forward that he must be playing more often in order to earn a call-up. Grealish started only seven times in what was a poor season for City by their own standards. Seemingly, in an attempt to clear his head, the 29-year-old has jetted off on holiday and shared some snaps from him break. While he has two years remaining on his £300,000-a-week contract, a repeat would do neither City nor the player any favours. And now, one of Grealish's best friends at the club, Erling Haaland, shared a post on social media directed at the star as City jetted of for the start of the competition. Grealish has been left out so he can find a new club after struggling for game time this term Haaland, who scored 31 goals in all competitions for City this season, shared a photo to his Snapchat account of him sat on City's flight to Florida, wearing a City shirt and sat on branded seats. The spot next to him, though, was empty - having seemingly been left free for Grealish. The forward, wearing headphones, had instead seemingly put some luggage on the seat next to him, and captioned the photo: 'Jack Grealish where are you,' accompanied by a crying emoji. Grealish, meanwhile, shared a video, showing his legs in water with the caption: 'Peaceful', and showing off his surroundings, with a cruise ship seen in the sea. Haaland and Grealish have become close friends since the former joined the club from Borussia Dortmund three years ago. After City won the Premier League for two years ago, Haaland screamed: 'I f***ing love you, you know that?' in his friend's direction, interrupting his interview with Sky Sports. Mail Sport explained in May 2023 how the pair live on the same floor in a plush city-centre apartment block in Manchester, only strengthening their relationship - although one ventures into town slightly more than the other. 'Everyone is different, aren't they?' Grealish previously told Mail Sport. 'Look at Erling. He is the best professional I have ever seen. Grealish and Haaland both live on the same floor in a plush apartment block in Manchester Haaland stole the show during Grealish's post-match interview after City won the league in 2023 as the striker yelled 'I f***ing love you, you know that?', live on Sky Sports The pair are two interesting characters but are perhaps an unlikely combination as best friends 'We have a great friendship but he will point at me after a game and say, 'Hey, don't you go out tonight partying'. 'His mindset is something you won't see again. He does everything. Recovers. In the gym. 10 hours of treatment a day. Ice baths. Diet. That's why he is what he is. But I swear I couldn't be like that. Clubs in England - including Everton - and Europe are expected to be interested in the playmaker, although the fact that many are grappling with profit and sustainability issues may point to the likelihood of a loan deal, rather than a permanent move for a man who cost City £100m when he signed from Aston Villa for a British record fee in 2021.

Weinstein case judge declares mistrial on remaining rape charge amid jury issues
The judge in Harvey Weinstein's sex assaults trial declared a mistrial on the remaining rape charge after the jury foreperson said he would not continue deliberating. Deliberations ended on Thursday, a day after the jury delivered a partial verdict in Weinstein's sex crimes retrial. Advertisement The jury foreperson said he would not continue deliberating after claiming he was bullied by another juror (Elizabeth Williams via AP) The jury got stuck on a third charge – a rape accusation dating to 2013. The foreperson complained on Wednesday that he felt bullied by another juror and said on Thursday he would not go back into the jury room. The panel convicted the former studio boss of one charge but acquitted him of another. Both of those charges concerned accusations of forcing oral sex on women in 2006. Those verdicts still stand. The jury of seven women and five men unanimously reached those decisions last Friday, the foreperson later told the judge. Advertisement The verdict was delivered on Wednesday only because Judge Curtis Farber asked whether there was agreement on any of the charges. The third charge was a rape accusation involving a woman who also said she had a consensual relationship with the Oscar-winning producer. Under New York law, the third-degree rape charge carries a lesser penalty than the other two counts. Weinstein denies all the charges. Advertisement In an unusual exchange with the judge, Harvey Weinstein told him the judge was 'endangering' him, saying 'I can't be judged by a situation that's going on like this' (Elizabeth Williams via AP) In an unusual exchange with the judge during some legal arguments before the partial verdict was disclosed on Wednesday, Weinstein insisted it was unfair to continue the trial after two jurors came forward with concerns about the proceedings. 'I can't be judged by a situation that's going on like this,' said Weinstein, 73, claiming the judge was 'endangering' him. Jury-room strains started leaking into public view on Friday when a juror asked to be excused because he felt another was being treated unfairly. Then on Monday, the foreperson complained that other jurors were pushing people to change their minds and talking about information beyond the charges. Advertisement The man raised concerns again on Wednesday. In a closed-door discussion with prosecutors, defence lawyers and the judge, the foreperson said another juror was yelling at him for sticking to his opinion and at one point vowed, 'You going to see me outside.' 'I feel afraid inside there,' the foreperson told the judge and lawyers, according to a transcript. Weinstein's initial conviction five years ago seemed to cement the downfall of one of Hollywood's most powerful men in a pivotal moment for the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct. Advertisement Harvey Weinstein was convicted of one charge, was acquitted of another and a mistrial ruled on the third (Jefferson Siegel /The New York Times via AP, Pool) But that conviction was overturned last year and the case was sent back for retrial in the same Manhattan courthouse. Weinstein's accusers said he exploited his Tinseltown influence to dangle career help, get them alone and then trap and force them into sexual encounters. His defence portrayed his accusers as Hollywood wannabes and hangers-on who willingly hooked up with him to court opportunity, then later said they were victimised to collect settlement funds and #MeToo approbation. Miriam Haley, the producer and production assistant whom Weinstein was convicted – twice, now – of sexually assaulting, said outside court on Wednesday that the new verdict 'gives me hope'. Accuser Kaja Sokola also called it 'a big win for everyone,' even though Weinstein was acquitted of forcibly performing oral sex on her when she was a 19-year-old fashion model. Her allegation was added to the case after the retrial was ordered. Weinstein also was convicted of raping another woman in California. He is appealing that conviction. The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted, unless they agree to be identified. Ms Haley and Ms Sokola did so.

In a post on Instagram, Sir Paul said: 'Brian had that mysterious sense of musical genius that made his songs so achingly special. 'I loved him, and was privileged to be around his bright shining light for a little while. How we will continue without Brian Wilson, 'God Only Knows'. Thank you, Brian.' His tribute comes after the surviving original members of The Beach Boys honoured the 'genius' of Wilson. Advertisement His cousin Mike Love, 84, said Wilson's 'musical gifts were unmatched' while Al Jardine described his bandmate as 'my brother in spirit'.

'The melodies he dreamed up, the emotions he poured into every note – Brian changed the course of music forever,' Love wrote in a lengthy post on Facebook, saying there was 'something otherworldly' about Wilson. 'Like all families, we had our ups and downs. But through it all, we never stopped loving each other, and I never stopped being in awe of what he could do when he sat at a piano or his spontaneity in the studio.' Advertisement Describing Wilson as 'fragile, intense, funny' and 'one of a kind', he said his music 'allowed us to show the world what vulnerability and brilliance sound like in harmony'. 'Brian, you once asked 'Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?'. Now you are timeless,' he wrote.

'He changed the goalposts when it came to writing songs and changed music forever. A true giant.' Bob Dylan was among other musical stars to pay tribute, with the 84-year-old posting on X that he was thinking 'about all the years I've been listening to him and admiring his genius'. Advertisement Fellow singer-songwriter Carole King, 83, described Wilson as 'my friend and my brother in songwriting' while former Velvet Underground member John Cale said on X he was 'a true musical genius toiling away at melding POP into startling sophistication'. Heard the sad news about Brian today and thought about all the years I've been listening to him and admiring his genius. Rest in peace dear Brian. — Bob Dylan (@bobdylan) June 11, 2025 Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, 78, paid tribute to Wilson and US musician Sly Stone, who died earlier this week, in a social media post, saying: 'Oh no Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in one week – my world is in mourning, so sad.' His bandmate Keith Richards, 81, posted an extract of his 2010 memoir, Life, on Instagram recalling hearing The Beach Boys for the first time on the radio and his reaction to their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The extract reads: 'When we first got to American and to LA, there was a lot of Beach Boys on the radio, which was pretty funny to us – it was before Pet Sounds – it was hot rod songs and surfing songs, pretty lousily played, familiar Chuck Berry licks going on… 'It was later on, listening to Pet Sounds, well, it's a little bit overproduced for me, but Brian Wilson had something.' Sean Ono Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, described Wilson as 'our American Mozart' in a post on X while The Monkees drummer Micky Dolenz said 'his melodies shaped generations, and his soul resonated in every note'. We are heartbroken to announced that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy — Brian Wilson (@BrianWilsonLive) June 11, 2025 Wilson was born on June 20 1942, and began to play the piano and teach his brothers to sing harmony as a young boy. The Beach Boys started as a neighbourhood act, rehearsing in Wilson's bedroom and in the garage of their house in suburban Hawthorne, California with Wilson playing bass alongside his brothers Dennis as the drummer and Carl on lead guitar. The band were managed by the trio's father, Murry Wilson, but by mid-decade he had been displaced and Brian, who had been running the band's recording sessions almost from the start, was in charge. They released their most recognised album, Pet Sounds, in May 1966 which included the well known songs Wouldn't It Be Nice and God Only Knows. Wilson married singer Marilyn Rovell in 1964 and the couple welcomed daughters Carnie and Wendy, whom he became estranged from following their divorce. The Beach Boys' Carl Wilson, Al Jardine, Dennis Wilson, Brian Wilson and Mike Love (PA) He later reconciled with them and they sang together on the 1997 album The Wilsons, which was also the name of a music group formed by Carnie and Wendy following the break-up of pop vocal group Wilson Phillips. Wilson, who had dealt with mental health and drug problems, got his life back on track in the 1990s and married talent manager Melinda Ledbetter. When Ledbetter died last year, Wilson said their five children, Daria, Delanie, Dylan, Dash and Dakota, were 'in tears'. Wilson was also embroiled in multiple lawsuits some of which followed from the release of his 1991 autobiography, Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story. The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2001. Wilson's brother Dennis died in 1983 while Carl died in 1998.
