He’s worked with everyone from Jennifer Alba to Hailey Baldwin. He’s the ambassador for luxury skincare brand Creme de la Mer, and his Instagram feed is wall-to-wall Hadids and Kardashians.
Yep, you could say that make-up artist Patrick Ta is kind of a big deal.
This week Ta revealed the secrets behind the “glow” that he bestows upon his famous clients, including Gigi Hadid.
He told Hello magazine: “Gigi is my muse and she has helped my career so much. I met her when she had 100,000 followers on Instagram; now she has 20 million and she has taken me along for the ride.
“I am so honoured. She is the epitome of gorgeous professionalism, as is her sister Bella. They both work so hard and are even more beautiful in person.”
The trick to glowing skin is simple, he says. Along with properly hydrated skin, he advocates using “two shades of foundation and concealer, keeping the centre panel peak of the forehead, the middle of the face and around and under the eyes in two upside down triangles, the end of the chin and the Cupid’s bow two shades lighter than the outside of the face. That way, your eyes focus on the light that comes from the face, to make it look like it has been lit from within.”
There you have it: The Gigi glow.
