Teach Me Tuesday-Pat McGrath

Makeup Artists play a key role in fashion

Although rarely recognized, fashion shows, photo shoots, film and TV would not be the same without the talented makeup artists behind the fresh faces of models, actors and personalities.

We would like to change that-educate people on who is responsible for the art that sets trends and is emulated by people worldwide.

PAT McGRATH

A British makeup artist that has been dubbed "the most influential makeup artist in the world" by Vogue and others.

Take a gander through Pat's famous portfolio where she "prefers to use her fingers instead of brushes"- a true artist!

Drawing inspiration from color, patterns and the models' face, Pat demonstrates the beauty of complex simplicity.

Not impressed yet? Tough crowd...

So next time you flip through a magazine, watch a movie, a commercial, a runway show consider all aspects of the look. There are many artists who have played a role in creating the overall effect you are admiring and without makeup it just wouldn't be the same!

Hope you learned something this Tuesday!

Much Love From,
