Pat McGrath Labs – the eponymous brand created by makeup artist Pat McGrath – has brought the world highly pigmented shadows, rich lipsticks, and shimmery highlighters to complement a range of skin tones since 2015. In fact, early in her career she struggled to find shades that matched darker complexions, which inspired her to create her own line. Like McGrath herself, the brand has become renowned for its innovative products and is considered a trendsetter in the beauty industry.
McGrath’s products have been used to create iconic looks for celebrities, red carpets, fashion campaigns, runway looks, and more. We’re still in awe of McGrath’s work at the Maison Margiela Spring 2024 show. She’s also one of Taylor Swift‘s go-to makeup artists and is responsible for the star’s mesmerizing eye makeup in the “Bejeweled” music video, and even for her iconic red lip that doesn’t budge.
Whether you prefer natural glam or embrace an avant-garde look, Pat McGrath Labs has something for every beauty enthusiast. We’re lucky to have tested several items and experienced the hype firsthand. Ahead, we curated our favorite Pat McGrath Labs products worth every penny, including editor-backed picks and even products Swift swears by.
