One of the world's leading and most influential makeup artists, Pat Mcgrath has graced international fashion shows with her innovative work. With no formal training in makeup, she's really set the precedent for many makeup artists and even photographers, the world over.
Her most recent work was staged on the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week SS13

What sets Pat apart from most makeup artists is that, instead of utilising brushes to apply foundations and lipstick or gloss etc, she keeps it simple by using her fingers and hands. To create a certain look, Pat gathers arb little ornaments and other resources. The above and below images proves my point. She used Swarovski Diamonds and glued it onto the lip after applying layers of lipstick and gloss.

Pat Mcgrath outdoes herself and continuously re-invents her style of makeup. From the simplcity of application to the dramatic and "over the top" end result.
Have a look at some of her work. As a makeup artist, I truly am inspired by her ingenuity, innovation and creativity.
