    One of my most favourite artists in fashion makeup pat McGrath. A little
    inspiration for you all.

  18. PowerfulMindsofWomen says:

    I’ve seen quite a few fashion shows over the years, and I can tell you that no one translates a designer’s collection on the catwalk better than Pat McGrath. If designers want it done, they hire anyone. If designers want it done with soul, love, and with amplified imagination, they call Pat McGrath. I only wish that she had an official website loaded with more tutorials for looks that everyone can create for day and for work, not just for the catwalks. The Facebook page doesn’t show much.

  19. McFarlane K says:

    Pat is one of my favorite artists tbh. She’s like the Monet of make-up art

  20. siggi451 says:

    @ljbulld sure is right. nobody can believe about this quickly. but i can tell you one thing, when i was not in house my mom received the beauty kit from maybelline for no bucks. i got it from here. you can also try it >> bit.ly/XzrkGx?=xhsxes

  24. ProvocatuerBarbie25 says:

    I love her, I didn’t want this video to end! You can feel the passion she has for what she does and its wonderful. She has endless imagination!

  25. SoFreshSoClean81 says:

    I adore Pat McGrath, she is very good at her art, but i also must pay tribute to many others, as in reference to make-up artist that are just as good as well, Scott barenes, Lisa Eldrige, Charlotte Tillbury, Kevyn Aucion, to many to list but she is up there with the best Love ya Pat!
