Who is not fascinated by glitter ?
It seemed logical that the general public could one day get their hands on her own colors. Last year she launched her own brand, LABS. Gold, metallic textures and glitter have always been recurring themes in her work. It was imperative for her to launch something very visual, never seen before. When she talks about her first collection and the choice of glitter and gold, Pat MacGrath says: “Metals have something luxurious, starting with gold, so I had to inaugurate LABS with a collection which will make people special “. She just launched a collaboration with the website Net à Porter that enables the French market to have access to her products. I personally fell in love with the LUST: MatteTrance Everything Kit, and look forward to the Sephora restocking to finally get one of these treasures. In addition to the perfect selection of colors, to the perfect staying power, these little lipsticks with their golden mouths are absolutely fabulous, I am a bigfan!
