Cult Beauty: Christmas Unwrapped 2022

Words by Bethan Robins on If you had to choose just one, which Patrick Ta Beauty product deserves a place in every make up bag? I love our Major Headlines Double- Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo (£30/€34.50) . Pairing the cream with the powder really enhances the hue, leaving behind the perfect swipe of colour. There’s been no shortage of make up trends this year, which has been your favourite? I’ve loved seeing the influence of TikTok on make up and application styles. I am a huge blush fan — it brings life and colour to the face — so the under-eye-blush trend has been fun to play around with. What kind of looks will you be creating this party season? Ones that amplify my clients’ undone sultry eyes, whether that’s with smoky eyeshadow or smudged eyeliner. I would turn to my Major Dimension Eyeshadow Palette (£58/€66.70) and Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo in ‘She’s Blushing’ to complement the dark, dimensional eye look with a rosy glow. Do you have any bedside beauty and wellness essentials? La Mer’s The Hand Treatment and my Major Glow Softening Lip Masque (£20/€23) . Which pearl of beauty wisdom would you love to tell your younger self? Take chances! Play with colours and textures, draw inspiration from the large online community of upcoming artists and find your niche in the industry.
