But wait, it gets even better – Daniel shared some of his personal style tips with us in a candid conversation, and let’s just say, our fashion game is about to reach new heights!
1. A beauty technique Daniel brought into the runway?
Daniel– One such technique that I incorporated was the use of single lashes. Instead of using a strip of lashes, I added individual lashes, which gave a natural and more dramatic effect to the eyes. It’s an excellent technique to make your eyes pop without looking overdone. Another technique that I brought to the runway was transitioning from a matte foundation to a dewy, glossy, sheer foundation. By using this technique, I achieved a radiant and glowing look, which is perfect for summer.

2. What Are Some Of Your Hero Products While Creating The Grand Finale Looks?
Daniel – First and foremost, I love good skin prep. It’s crucial to have a smooth and hydrated base before applying any makeup. Next up, I always opt for a dewy foundation. It’s the perfect product to create a luminous and radiant look that’s perfect for summer. The sheer formula gives a natural-looking finish, and the dewy finish adds a touch of glam to the overall look. And finally, the icing on the cake – highlighter! I am all about that glow, and he recommends using lots of highlighters to add dimension and radiance to your face.
