Pat McGrath

ABOUT PAT MCGRATH

British makeup artist whose precision and versatility have earned her a reputation as one of the world's best. She has served as the global creative design director for Procter and Gamble and had her work featured in some of fashion's top publications, including W, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar.

Her only formal makeup training came in the form of an art foundation course at a Northampton college. Her big break came in the early 90s when she began working with i-D magazine editor Edward Enninful.

She has been known to create much of her makeup by hand and works primarily with her hands rather than with brushes. She has accumulated over 6 million followers on her patmcgrathreal Instagram page.

Her mother, Jean McGrath, was a Jamaican immigrant who raised Pat as a single parent.

She has worked with some of the world's best-known supermodels, including Brazil's Adriana Lima .
