Since Maison Margiela’s Artisanal Spring/Summer 2024 show on January 25, the world hasn’t been able to stop talking about Pat McGrath’s unique, iconic makeup for the show. The look, which varied from model to model, was designed to make the models look like porcelain dolls, and boasted a glossy finish that looked uncannily like glass. And today, because of all the hype, Dame Pat McGrath hosted a live masterclass on Instagram and TikTok that unpacked how, exactly, she and her team achieved this history-making glam.
“I’ve never seen a makeup look go so viral,” she admitted upon beginning the class, “and we’re so proud.” She went on to praise John Galliano, who created the gorgeous fashion for the Margiela collection and shared with McGrath his finish of bringing traditional porcelain dolls to life. She then thanked her fans, old and new, for supporting her hard work.
