As famous as her clients, makeup maven to the stars Pat McGrath is a celebrity in her own right. Often described as the most influential makeup artist in the world, McGrath has collaborated with famed fashion photographers like Steven Meisel on editorial shoots for Vogue. She’s also created makeup looks at Fashion Month runway shows for couture houses like Valentino and Gucci.

Her looks range from classic (a subtle smoky eye) to unconventional (black lipstick), but if they all seem uniformly wearable, it’s because they are: Black’s YouTube account features in-depth tutorial videos that teach real people like you how to achieve her looks at home.All of these famous makeup artists have spent years honing their craft! While you might not be going for looks as dramatic as theirs, using some of their tips, tricks and products can take your look for drab to fab in the blink of an eye!
