Pat McGrath
MAKEUP ARTIST (1970 - present)
Throughout her three decade-long career in the
beauty industry, Pat McGrath has been known for
breaking boundaries with her theatrical,
experimental and inclusive approach to makeup
artistry. She is frequently described as the
world's most influential makeup artist. McGrath is
known for her editorial work with i-D Magazine
and Vogue - which have resulted in some of the
magazines' best-recognised covers - and her
runway collaborations with the late Alexander
McQueen, and John Galliano during his time as
creative director of Dior. In recent years, McGrath
has enjoyed explosive success with her makeup
brand Pat McGrath Labs, which launched in
2015, and by 2019 was valued at $1bn. The line
is known for its playful approach and for catering
to a large array of skin tones - a strategy that
was uncommon even a few years ago. In 2021
she made history as the first ever make-up artist
to be awarded a DBE.
