Runway beauty: The mastery of Pat McGrath

During one of our first interviews with runway makeup artist Pat McGrath, we asked her was what book she was reading for pleasure. “Nothing at the moment,” she quickly responded, “I don’t have time.” We believe it: aside from her duties as CoverGirl’s Global Creative Director, everyone wants a piece of Pat, including all the top designers who enlist her season after season to create looks that complement their collections. And, because McGrath is the mastermind backstage at countless shows, almost every beauty trend can be traced back to her. Here are some of our favourite McGrath-made looks and the trends they inspired for Spring 2011.
