Daniel Martin on embracing his roots and empowering women through makeup

Benjamin Hughes

Celebrated makeup artist Daniel Martin, known for his work with Hollywood stars like Michelle Yeoh, Jessica Alba and Meghan Markle, appeared on “CBS Mornings” to discuss his rise in the beauty industry and the significance of his roots. 

Martin — who crafted Markle’s iconic 2018 royal wedding day makeup look — has been honored for his contributions to the industry as part of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. CBS News partnered with Gold House, an organization that champions AAPI creators, to celebrate its A100 list that recognizes the most impactful AAPI leaders this year.

“To be recognized by your community for your creative contributions to culture is massive,” he said. “I never thought someone like me would be able to do that. So yeah, it’s such an honor.”
