Fashion career profile

Pat McGrath

Dame Pat McGrath is a British makeup artist and beauty entrepreneur whose work across runway, editorial and fashion imagery has made her one of the industry's most influential makeup artists. She founded Pat McGrath Labs in 2015, introducing products through direct-to-consumer launches shaped by the artistry and experimentation of her backstage work. In 2025, Louis Vuitton appointed her Creative Director of Cosmetics for La Beauté Louis Vuitton, a defined beauty-category mandate rather than a house-wide fashion creative-director role. McGrath was made a Dame in 2021 for services to fashion, beauty and diversity. Her record connects an independent beauty company with a separate creative appointment at Louis Vuitton without implying that the two businesses or their financial results are interchangeable.
