I was like do you guys remember the
royal wedding I do it was only a
globally televised event millions of
people were watching it and the man of
the hour apart from the groom obviously
in my opinion was Daniel Martin
Megan Marc old makeup artist he's been
doing Megan's makeup for over a decade
they are close close friends he also
does the makeup of many many many stars
Gemma Chan michelle yeoh willis goes on
and on i got the incredible chance to
sit in his makeup chair while we were
both coincidentally in Singapore for a
trip with skin Inc without further ado
let's cut to me and Daniel I'm gonna be
getting a Megan Marco look on this face
with these hands that have touched
Megan's face because she has these
outings that she has to do publicly she
needs to keep everything very easy
mm-hmm and very consistent look that
we're doing today is from Megan's like
visit to the Oceania Exhibition would
you say it's a pretty typical look that
you would do on her yeah I mean if
anything we did a bit of a brighter lip
you ready okay the skin is so important
to me so this serum is really compatible
with foundation so I like to massage
this this is the best part
your skin is so nice you pop the pimple
this yeah mine's coming through so okay
so this is the pro do and I'm actually
going to use this as like a foundation
magnet I'm just gonna really concentrate
it on your t-zone it kind of mattifies
in those specific areas I want to know
how you got into the biz I worked at Mac
when I was in school well I was just
like a counter girl I worked at the Mac
counter and then when I moved to the
East Coast was when I started working
out of Veda
that's where I met Pat McGrath and you
were apprentice thing under her for a
long time so what I've done is I've
prepped your skin and this is really
important for me and my first step I do
eyes first because all the fallout that
happens it's
you clean up afterwards and then I can
go into your skin in it super quick so
I'm starting with this darker shade
first I don't like to do a lot of
structure around the eye especially when
working with Asian eyes because I feel
like I'm creating a dimension that
that's not there so it looks really fake
so the best way to do it is to start
dark at the lashline and build up its
following the shape of your eyes so then
that's what's creating dimension and I
can kind of see where your natural
creases and that's kind of like my line
to stop I have basically only used two
eyes shadow colors on Megan always
pretty much especially for that look it
was too with you now I'm using like a
darker almost like a black at the base
of your lash line so it gives you that
dimension so you've been working with
Megan for almost a decade
yes how did that relationship come down
at the time she didn't have a publicist
so she reached out to my agent like to
write dear agent yeah Wow so my agent in
LA was like hey there's this actress
young actress said you know I was really
interested in working with you he was
making Markel I think it'd be a great
fit for you we just instantly became
friends and then BOOM so I'm gonna go
into your upper lash waterline I'm gonna
go up underneath and I'm gonna have you
blink and what that does is the tearing
from your eye moves that eyeliner around
so it creates this like really gentle
smoky eye and that I can clean it up
afterwards
now I'm gonna go on top with the liquid
liner and I'm just gonna do something
easy just really like again just adding
a bit more dimension so you did Megan's
wedding makeup yes iconic moment how
long did you know and you couldn't tell
anyone I think before Christmas and the
wedding was in May that's long yeah I'm
gonna have you curl your lashes I love
this eyelash curler this is the Sarat
beauty parlor do a little layer of
mascara and then curl it again
the dried out from mascara will hold and
then you curl it again and it kind of
locks in the shape did you have any like
rules and restrictions in terms of the
makeup for the wedding
no we did everything basically over text
oh really
yeah we didn't have no we didn't have
time she was just like I just want to
feel like myself
so did you approach her makeup day of
the same way you normally would have
been I mean the only difference was I
had to think about her makeup in the car
being televised outside and natural
light at high noon and it's almost
better to not do so much on the skin
because then you see everything that's
laying on top of it so what I did for
her was I selectively did foundation
just in her t-zone and where she needed
to balance out coverage so your eyes are
pretty much done but now I'm gonna add
lashes that I use on her as well how has
your career changed since Laurel wedding
if anything it's just my exposures
global it freaked me out though how much
my Instagram jumps what were you at
before the what am I right now 17,000
and then it went to 70 in 24 hours whoa
yeah
do you tend to do the like only
Foundation where you need it kind of
thing so I tend to start in the center
and work my way out I usually do like a
large brush and then I'll take a smaller
it's actually an eyeshadow brush to
finish off the foundation do you have
any tips for if you do you know need
more coverage like how to make it look
more natural yeah so say you use a brush
like this I'll go over what I've done
with a wet sponge and that kind of
breaks it up a bit I'm gonna use this
incredible Japanese foundation it's
called magic foundation but I like to
use as like a corrector concealer
basically the same consistency as the
door foundation except that it has a bit
more coverage did you know like what
Megan's dress would look like what her
hair would look like you for the wedding
yeah no I knew nothing nothing until the
day up and then I'm gonna use a pressed
powder to finish this is what I'll do to
really prevent things from moving so
this is the honest Beauty magic bomb I
love this bomb so this is what's gonna
give me a bit more radiance so I'm just
gonna take a bit of it and I'm just
gonna follow it up right through here
and it just gives your skin that glow
without looking too shiny
I tend to do highlighter first because
then I can go in and shape out the face
what I'm doing now is I'm taking the
same contour color follow that shaping
up through the eye and bring it down a
bit on the nose too just to kind of give
you a bit of strength it's like a light
contour so we're using the nude your
stellar shine lipstick so it's like a
hybrid lipstick lip gloss I love the
texture it feels like lip balm my lips
are so dry right now so one trick that I
like to do is I like to actually use the
same color on the cheek and what this
does is this just kind of brings
everything together are you ready for
the reveal okay oh my I love the eyes
well this thing is really cool yeah this
contour is really natural right this is
what I just closed here
yeah and that's very you thing I feel
like this do bees yeah look Ron zenus is
very you yeah I love it don't look Megan
