It is possible that he knows Daniel Martin as Meghan Markle’s makeup artist, Nicola Coughlan and Ali Wong. He is also the global art director of Tatcha, the Japanese inspiration brand known for his 23K gold transfer documents. When summer came to an end, Martin flew to Shanghai, where Tatch was launched two years ago, and spent a week discovering the city. Here, he tells us about his Jet Lag trick, the moisturizer that can support a 20 -hour flight and the “Mario Dedivanovic of China”.
Dear itg,
In August I could spend a week in Shanghai, where I registered at the first store and tatch spa. It is located in Intime, the big luxury department stores in China that reminds me a lot of me or Bergdorf. Not only was it exciting to see the store and the spa in person, but I never had the leg to China.
The flight to Shanghai was 20 hours, but fortunately I found an application called Timeshifter that helped prevent the jet. You put your itinerary in the application and tell you what to stay awake, when to look at the light to activate your circadian rhythm, when to drink coffee, when to eat, when to drink melatonin, when to sleep, everything. I used it when I traveled to Australia, and I also had zero jet and too. It makes sense that it was created by an astronaut, right?
As I have a very sensitive skin, I can not the typical beauty products of ‘fight’ like the sheet masks, which tend to make my skin itch. I assure myself with loading the moisturizer before climbing the planes and leave it like this. Tatch’s indigo calm cream is perfect for sensitive and inflamed skin. I use it every time my skin is stressed, not just for flights.
Once I stood out, the heat in Shanghai was like something I had never felt before. Humidity was also crazy. Duration on the day, I constantly re -applied the spf 50 tatcha silk, which is one of the few sunscreens that I can use with my skin sensibilities. At night, I used our indigo cleaning balm to make sure I got every trace. It also lifts makeup so easy.
The beauty brands here are really interesting because much of their narration is based on the balance of science with local ingredients, many of Wat, noticed, are based on water, or in the same way that Tacha uses algae. I also discovered Maogeping, this great make -up brand that makes most color cosmetics. The founder, Mao Ping, is like the Mario Divanovic of China. Michelle, who is in our marketing team, discovered his really great humiliar primer hybrid. He continues as a serum, but the city dries to this Hatildea manual that grabs his makeup. Their products also have a lot of relief, which is quite common here. I have this beautiful blush that opens to a beautiful scene. It reminded me of me or flosasis, a beauty brand C that is now in the United States. Much of his makeup also has beautiful images.
Out of beauty, food was crazy. We get used to Shu Yan, which is this incredible restaurant in a historic site in West Lake Park that is about an hour and a half from Shanghai on the bullet train. You have to book a reservation months in advance because they only serve tables at night. It was one of the most surprising and memorable meals that I have had. Everything was incredible and the stage was very intimate. He felt like being in someone’s house.
China has a very large coffee culture, which I didn’t expect, but I loved being Seattle. I remember thinking: “I’m going to get coffee with oat milk?” And boom, had five different nuts. Shanghai Real has the second largest Starbucks reserve in the world, but, of course, there are all kinds of local coffee brands. I walked for one called Stay Woke, who thought it was funny. Ah, and Shanghai loves Kfc. They are literally everywhere: the colonel is theirs. The chains serve rice and you can get different types of sauces. What is also great is that KFC has thesis coffee shops called Kcoffee.
Shanghai was simply fascinating. I felt that I entered into Blade Corredor. There is this modernity in much of the architecture, but then you have these incredible traditional places hidden and hidden from the streets. I hope to return.
Love,
Daniel Martin
