Pat McGrath, a British businesswoman and makeup artist, has a net worth of $700 million.
Pat’s dedication was apparent in her use of makeup on every Vogue Italia cover for a decade.
Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, has hailed Pat as the most significant makeup artist in the world. In 2013, Pat was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth.
The foundation of Pat McGrath Labs, a makeup company, was where she made her fortune. Pat McGrath was born in Northampton, England on June 11, 1970.
She was brought up by a Jamaican immigrant with a single mother.
During her childhood, Pat and her mother watched old movies and conversed about the diverse costumes and makeup used in those movies.
Pat’s mother would inquire about her knowledge of various makeup styles, eye-shadow colors, patterns, and textile types.
The reason was not solely for amusement.
The game was necessary due to the lack of cosmetic options for black women.
Black women’s skin tone was not a significant factor in the creation of the typical commercial makeup at that time.
They continuously experimented and mixed to create their own creations.
Despite lacking formal education or experience, she relocated to London in the early 80s to work as a makeup artist.
As time went on, she progressed and secured small jobs.
Her first real breakthrough came from working for an emerging fashion magazine named “i-D.”
The fashion editor of i-D claimed that Pat’s makeup work on shoots was instrumental in the magazine’s success in achieving mainstream success.
Throughout her career, she collaborated with numerous designers at fashion shows and on numerous magazine covers.
