Pat McGrath on Miu Miu

"The Miu Miu girl has a very strong identity. She loves her black eye liner, she wears that eye liner whether it's in fashion or out of fashion. She's definite about her own style and she's very young and brave."

Pat McGrath on Gucci AUTUMN/WINTER READY-TO-WEAR MAKE UP
"Alessandra was obsessed with the color of a beetle, the blue-green iridescence. So we put a lovely, deep shadow underneath to make the eyes mysterious, and a really sheer amount of purple and blue-green around the outsides like beautiful wings."

STYLE.COM'S Fall 2005 RTW Wrap-up: Beauty
Pat McGrath on Hussein Chalayan fall 2005 makeup
"We have a very natural look. We're just taking away any redness, any spots, any imperfections, and we're just powdering the girls. So the look is very graphic in a way. But no makeup at all; it's all about skin care and beautiful skin texture."

Pat McGrath on John Galliano
"We have the black mouth from the thirties, the thin eyebrow. It's a very dramatic, very smoldering look. And then we're using Warhol behind the faces so that they almost look like living screen prints."

Pat McGrath on Louis Vuitton
"For Vuitton, we're doing eyebrows, we're doing eye shadow, we're doing lips, but it's all done transparently. It's a way of wearing almost full makeup, but keeping it absolutely modern. It's an extremely beautiful look."

Pat Mcgrath Is The Best!!!!

I met Pat McGrath a few months ago at MAC Pro Store in NYC...not only is she incredibly talented she's extremely friendly, warm, humble and down-to-earth. What an honor meeting her! I will NEVER forget that experience and only pray that I get to work with her one day. She's definitely one, if not THE BEST, Makeup Artists in the world today!!!

I think she's the best and most influential ... she did, what, at least a third of the important Fall runway shows? Not only is her work great, but I appreciate how she articulates to the press what she's doing, since it's not all obvious. I too wish she would wear visible makeup, but clearly she has nothing to prove. Perhaps it's a statement about how good she is ... she has nothing to prove with her own face.

The current minimalist makeup look appears to me to be her vision ...

She's a true talent.... I like the fact that she adapts the makeup to the designer's vision....

The Miu Miu girls makeup for F/W 05 was truly amazing....

The makeup she did for Prada's SS06 show was some of the most memorable, if not the most memorable, of the season--and further emphasized by the ad campaign, which I really like (even though I'm not a huge Sasha fan).
