«Breaking Pic News» Meghan's makeup artist uses £8 Aquaphor to achieve glowing skin

He was responsible for the most iconic makeup of the year with women across the globe desperate to emulate Meghan's wedding look.

But while you may expect only the most premium brands to be used by the Duchess of Sussex's makeup artist, Daniel Martin admits that he relies on a few bargains.

In a new interview the expert has revealed that he uses a bargain drugstore product in place of a highlighter to achieve a glowing complexion.

Speaking to E! News Daniel explained: 'A lot of my highlighting is done with skin-care. 

Daniel Martin, the makeup artist behind Meghan's wedding day beauty look (pictured), has revealed the surprising product he uses to achieve a glowing complexion 

'Before highlighters, you would do highlighting with Aquaphor (a petrolium jelly based product).

'Aquaphor will give you that same texture, especially in a photo [when applied] on the high points of the face.'

And far from a pricey highlighter palette which retail at an average of £30 Aquaphor costs as little as £8 making it a surprisingly affordable way to emulate the duchess.

The make-up artist has not been tight lipped when it comes to his techniques, previously sharing various secrets behind Meghan's beauty routine.

Rather than use a highlighter, Daniel recommends Aquaphor, £8, as it achieves the same texture when applied on high points of the face

Last week he explained how he uses a 'selective placement of foundation', applying the base like a spot treatment to make her freckles stand out before using a blending brush to even it out.

He also revealed how he likes to use water-based foundations, along with Tatcha's The Silk Canvas primer, priced at $52 (£40), in order for the make-up to stay on for longer.

Speaking to E! News, Daniel explained: 'People with freckles tend to have a really balanced palette.

'If they have any redness, it's in the T-zone, around the nose, maybe some discoloration the eyes.

'It's about evening out those specific areas to blend in with the rest of the face. I tend to use a blending brush and I'll go in and buff out the undertone that I don't want.'

It comes after Daniel revealed Meghan has been doing her own make-up for high profile events, rather than enlisting professional help.

But even when she is doing her own make-up, Meghan opts for the same freckle-enhancing coverage that Daniel creates for her.

During her time on Suits, the Duchess revealed to Beauty Banter that she preferred not to wear heavy foundation away from the cameras, and instead used the $38 (£30) Laura Mercier Radiance Primer to 'give her skin a dewy glow'.

The makeup artist, who is also creative color consultant for Jessica Alba's Honest Beauty (pictured together in 2017) recently revealed how he enhances Meghan's freckles while doing her makeup

On days when she felt she needed more coverage, one of her go-to foundation choices was the Chanel Sublimage Le Teint Cream Foundation - a rather pricey choice at $138 (£100) per pot.

He recently also revealed how Prince Harry kept saying 'thank you' to him following the ceremony.

Daniel told InStyle: 'I know exactly what [Meghan] does and doesn’t like. After the ceremony Harry kept saying thank you. He was thanking me for making her look like herself.'

Explaining the inspiration behind Meghan's classic bridal look, he added: 'The last thing you want [is] to look at your wedding pictures and go, "Remember when highlighting was the rage?"

'At the end of the day, you want to look like your best self.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
