Introducing Icon Box by Pat McGrath: Beauty Beyond Boundaries

Photo by Norman Jean Roy

Think of a memorable makeup look over the past few decades, and chances are Pat McGrath is the artistic genius behind the look. Pat has collaborated with legendary photographer Steven Meisel on thousands of covers and editorials featuring some of Hollywood’s most famous faces. She designed the sparkling makeup for Taylor Swift’s “Bejeweled” music video and was even featured as the on-screen queen. She designed the look that transformed Zoë Kravitz into Catwoman. Oh, and did we mention she’s been awarded Knighthood by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for services to fashion and beauty and was immortalized by Mattel in 2021 when they created a Pat McGrath Barbie doll? We could go on and on. 

Legendary doesn’t even begin to cover Pat’s career, which is why we’re beyond excited to announce that the beauty Mother herself is going to be IPSY’s November Icon Box curator. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take your beauty game to another dimension. With visionary makeup artist Pat McGrath as your next Icon Box curator, you’ll master out-of-this-world techniques and discover an Icon Box that dares you to make your mark. 

The Inspo Behind Pat’s Collection

From the hottest trends to the most advanced product innovations, Pat McGrath’s awe-inspiring creativity has touched every corner of the industry. “I’ve worked on major magazine shoots, couture runway shows, and the biggest music videos, but my first experience with makeup was actually experimenting on myself,” says Pat. “That’s the best way to learn, but it just seemed like fun at the time. My early obsession with the beauty rituals of skincare and cosmetics sparked a lifelong passion.” 

Through her Icon Box, Pat is delivering a strong dose of PMG love with a curated selection of some must-haves from her makeup kit and other favorites that give you that backstage experience at home.

“Makeup is a movement, and I think it should be used without caution,” she says. ‘It's all about self-expression, individuality, and exploration into your own creativity.” Each product in her collection is designed to empower individuals to create their unique beauty narratives. “My hope is that my Icon Box beauty collection encourages you to explore, discover, create, and just have fun.”
