He's literally one of the most famous celebrity MUAs, the least you'll can do is call him by his name. :)

It's okay that people click on this vid because of Jessica Alba! As long as they leave the video knowing his name! You guys are acting like they're disrespecting him or something, but Alba has the name recognition to draw ppl in. I didn't know about him before, but now I do! If they just lead the headline with name I probably wouldn't have clicked before. That's like basic media 101.

[@AndreaVidaManda]

Agreed! I didn't know who he was, but I know Jessica Alba. These kids need other things to nitpick on.

[@lauraloveleyy8639]

It must be fun being a celebrity makeup artist

[@j.j.714]

To everyone complaining about the lack of his name in the title: they’re using Jessica’s name for more clicks. I myself wasn’t familiar with him, so just putting his name in the title wouldn’t have made me watch it. However, I do know who Jessica Alba is and I know she’s pretty so obviously I wanted to know who’s partly responsible for her looks, that’s why I clicked it. Of course, that doesn’t mean they can’t put his name in the title. It could be “jessica Alba’s mua, Daniel Martin, shows us his kit”, so I do agree it should be there as it’s great for visibility

[@jessicasmith8286]

I will add danessa myricks products too bcuz her products are so versatile as well of cream products. But hey cortisone cream for anti redness is really good idea.. I'll add that too.

@@ifetayodavidson-cade5613 I understand getting a discount, I get a 40% off discount with MUFE since I am a makeup artist.

A lot of these actresses are basic af.. they dont want heavy glam like kardashians n Jlo (which is fine).. so he as a mua cant force a 60s cut crease on her. Bcuz of that I dont find this helps mua to showcase their skill either when its just glowy skin with eyeliner n red lips. But yeah for portfolio u need makeup to be eye catching. . Check out Danessa Myricks and nikitaMakeup instagram/website Their editorials n makeup is stunning and eye catching and creative enough for classy red carpet. Nikita is now mua ambassador for Dior and her clients are the hadids to VS model elsa holst to actresses etc Daniel did megans wedding makeup and total of both hair n makeup was at 13 000$ It was honestly just pink lips and eyelashes.. This is why kardashian n jenners along with Jlo are trendsetters on every red carpet events bcuz the fans later recreate the looks on socials
