This week our guest is none other than Daniel Martin. The makeup artist that creates flawless looks for Elisabeth Moss, Gemma Chan, Jessica Alba, Meghan Markle, and so many more. He is currently Tatcha's first-ever Global Director of Artistry and Education. You recently saw his work on the beautiful Maya Rudolph when she hosted SNL and everyone knows the look he created with Meghan for her Royal Wedding. But Daniel and I found ourselves talking about all that and more including the importance of the STOP APPI HATE movement, our mutual homesickness for the Pacific Northwest, and of course no interview would be complete without some MAC counter nostalgia.
