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 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.

Lizzo channels Baywatch era Pamela Anderson in iconic red swimsuit after sharing 'truth' about her weight loss
Lizzo channeled the Baywatch icon Pamela Anderson in a red, one-piece swimsuit in her latest social media post over the weekend. On Saturday, the Juice hitmaker took to Instagram to share a video of herself modeling a sexy piece of swimwear from her brand Yitty as she lounged poolside. While laying down by the pool, she ran her hands up and down her body and showcased her toned and noticeably slimmer curves. She showed off her long, platinum blonde beach waves as well as an icy, diamond-encrusted Yitty chain on her neck. With a blank space left for her fans to share their imagination, she wrote in her caption: 'Put some @yitty on yo ______!' This comes after the 37-year-old singer revealed the 'truth' about her weight loss journey — and as her fans turned on the thinner-than-ever star as she finally admits to using Ozempic after her rampant denial. Her Ozempic transformation was on full display, as the star sparked fierce online reaction after she finally admitted to trying the famed celebrity weight loss drug - after years of denial. In the past two years, there has been a flurry of fan speculation about Lizzo using Ozempic as she documented her weight loss journey on social media. She previously denied using any form of weight loss drugs and credited her major transformation due to an extreme workout regimen and eating healthy. However, she made an appearance on Trisha Paytas' podcast Just Trish in late June and decided to come clean. 'I tried everything,' she said while explaining how she tried using GLP-1 drugs for several months in the beginning of her weight loss journey. 'Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' Many of her fans seemingly turned on her after she 'lied' for months and previously denied allegations, claiming she achieved her much slimmer figure through 'weight lifting and calorie deficit.' Back in September 2024, she denied rumors and said weight lifting and calorie deficits was her secret to losing weight. She also said that she started getting results when she stopped being vegan after many years of not eating meat. 'What did it for me is, it was not being vegan,' she explained. 'Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread. I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full.' The Grammy winner said that eating meat again allowed her to avoid eating products with 'fake sugar and weird stuff.' She also insisted that Ozempic and other weight loss drugs are not 'cheating.' 'It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with,' she said. 'I think people — it's their way of being fat phobic when you're telling someone they're cheating.' Her admission comes as she faced backlash for 'cheating' after she rose to fame for championing body positivity. Recently, she opened up about the 'truth' as she shared her lifestyle changes but has not revealed exactly how much weight she has lost. In a new interview with Women's Health, the Grammy winner revealed she's adopted a high-protein, low-carb diet to help her meet and exceed her goals. She starts her day with a go-to breakfast of two scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and a cauliflower hash brown. For lunch, she opts for a shredded Thai chicken salad or lettuce wraps stuffed with tuna or sliced chicken breast. For dinner, she often opts for turkey meatloaf with cauliflower mashed potatoes and green beans — a satisfying, balanced end to her day. She makes sure to finish her final meal of the day by 5 p.m. 'I have GERD [gastroesophageal reflux disease], so my body needs time to digest food before I go to sleep, so acid doesn't roll up to my throat,' she explained. Her snacks are equally disciplined: low-sugar Greek yogurt with blueberries or blackberries, topped with a drizzle of honey for sweetness. She's also ditched her former habit of multiple daily Frappuccinos, now choosing coffee with vanilla protein powder instead. That said, the About Damn Time artist still allows herself a few indulgences, including chicken tenders with waffles, crab legs or a coconut-cream-filled donut. Her transformation is also supported by a strict fitness routine guided by a personal trainer.

KENNEDY: The most vile celebrities I've ever met, including an A-list actor who called me a m*****f*****. These narcissists can't get away with it... I'm naming names
Having worked on TV and in the media for the last 33 years, I've run into tons and tons of celebrities. (Once, I was even nearly run over in a Gelson's Supermarket parking lot in Malibu by Steven Spielberg. Gawd, that would have made me rich!)

Diddy faces cash crisis as Cassie payout and civil suits drain $400m fortune despite racketeering acquittal, says lawyer
SEAN 'Diddy' Combs may not have to deal with life in prison after being acquitted on multiple charges, but he could run into financial difficulties when he is released from jail, an expert has claimed. The controversial music mogul was sitting on a fortune of almost a billion dollars at one point in his career before it imploded. 4 But his net worth reportedly dwindled to $400 million months before his arrest in 2024. He has since had to pay a growing mountain of legal fees for his criminal trial, several civil cases, and a $20 million settlement to his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Combs, 55, was acquitted of the most serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking this week after a weeks-long trial in Manhattan, New York. But he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and remains behind bars ahead of his sentencing hearing. Despite each count carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years, he is likely to be a free man in the coming months, according to experts. But he may struggle to get his career back on track as his business empire has significantly declined due to his legal troubles and the public fallout from the allegations. Eric Faddis, a former felony prosecutor and founding partner at Varner Faddis Elite Legal, spoke to The U.S. Sun to give his opinion on what is next for Combs. He said, "One thing that's clear is that his resources have been depleted. He still appears to have some wealth. But there's going to be a collectability issue when it comes to these civil cases. "If they all get judgments, he's not going to have enough personal assets to make them whole. "There is no legal mechanism of which I'm aware by which he could try to take back the twenty million or so dollars that he paid to Cassie in a civil judgment. That's over and done with. Horror full unedited vid shows Sean 'Diddy' Combs attack on ex Cassie Ventura during 'freak off' party in LA "There are murmurs about ... is he going to try to go after other folks who are involved in this trial for defamation, or malicious prosecution, or something like that? "Anything is possible, but I think he would be better off kind of letting sleeping dogs lie, moving on with his life, and undertaking this herculean effort of dealing with the other civil cases." Asked if he believes he could go broke, Faddis claimed, "Oh, 100 per cent. I think there's a substantial chance that his assets are going to be dwindling if they're not already dwindling. "There's no insurance policy that's going to kick in and pay out these plaintiffs. "If these plaintiffs prevail in the civil claims, he himself is going to be financially responsible. "I'm sure he paid gobs and gobs of money to his criminal attorneys for this two-month trial. "On top of that, a lot of his endorsements and contractual support is likely gone. And so I think he's going to run into financial issues real soon." There's no insurance policy that's going to kick in and pay out these plaintiffs." Attorney Eric Faddis told The U.S. Sun Combs paid off a $18.8 million mortgage on his lavish $48.5 million Star Island mansion in Miami, Florida, before his arrest. To try and secure bail, his defense team previously proposed a $50 million bond package, which included the property that was raided by the feds. He also listed his $61.5 million Beverly Hills home for sale, but it remains on the market. BUSINESS EMPIRE The star was running multiple businesses before his scandal, including Revolt TV, which he founded, and his fashion brand Sean John, which vanished from Macy's. Combs relinquished control of his lucrative spirits brands, Ciroc and DeLeón, and also reportedly lost a Hulu reality series deal. However, his music catalog remains intact for the time being. Combs kept his label Bad Boy Records relevant before he was arrested and backed the likes of Machine Gun Kelly's 'Mainstream Sellout' in 2022. In 2023, he also dropped The Love Album: Off the Grid, his first solo album in nearly two decades. The same year, singer Janelle Monae also released her celebrated record The Age of Pleasure through Bad Boy. Asked if he thinks he could build his empire back up, Faddis said, "It's not unheard of in America for folks who have, you know, been formerly disgraced to kind of make a comeback. "I think he's going to try [but] whether America has the stomach for that at this point is an open question. "I think, legally speaking, it is certainly a victory for Diddy, but I think we [have] to be careful, because there are a lot of sensitive issues at play here, just because the jury found that he was not guilty. That's not the same as finding that he was innocent. "What the jury found was that the Government couldn't meet its burden with respect to those charges. That's not the same as saying those things didn't happen." Combs was previously forced to apologize to fans after previously denying physically assaulting ex Ventura when CNN published exclusive hotel surveillance video from 2016. The footage showed Combs appearing to grab, shove, drag, and kick the singer in a hotel hallway. 'My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,' he said in a video statement posted on Instagram. 'I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now,' he added. 'I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.' Combs fell to his knees on Wednesday when the verdict was read out in a Manhattan courtroom, and he was acquitted of the most serious charges in his criminal case. The U.S. Sun obtained a letter from the prosecution sent to Judge Arun Subramanian regarding the star's sentence for two counts of engaging in prostitution, which is yet to be decided. They say the guideline sentence for him is just 51 to 63 months [five and a half years maximum], and he has already been behind bars for nine months. It reads, "The Government notes, however, that the Guidelines applicable at sentencing may be higher than this preliminary calculation. "The Government has not had adequate time to carefully consider all potentially applicable Guidelines provisions." 4 4
