The Best Pat McGrath Makeup, Including Taylor Swift's Go-Tos

Pat McGrath Labs Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil ($29)

Available in 11 gorgeous shades, the Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil combines the pigmented power of a lipstick with the convenience and precision of a lip liner. The lip pencil has a creamy, non-drying formula, even with a matte finish. We even deemed it the best lipstick in our 2024 Beauty Awards. Check out our Pat McGrath Labs Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil review for more information.

Editor Quote: "Unlike other lip pencils, this Dramatique Lip Pencil from Pat McGrath Labs boasts a surprisingly creamy consistency that goes on smooth and delivers a nourishing layer to my lips. It's marketed as a matte lip color, but the pencil feels much lighter — almost more like a lip crayon." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Shopping

Pat McGrath Labs Dark Star Volumizing Mascara ($34)

Formulated with flexible polymers and micro-fine pigments, this mascara delivers volume for days. It adds length and density for fuller-looking lashes without weighing them down. Read more in our Pat McGrath Labs Dark Star Volumizing Mascara review.

Editor Quote: "When I applied it myself, the first thing I noticed was how I was able to get the look I desired with minimal swipes; I was even able to easily coat the tiny lashes in my inner and outer corners. My lashes looked full and made my eyes pop without me having to enhance them more with liquid liner like I normally do. It's also long-lasting and doesn't smudge — one day I applied the mascara at 2 p.m., and several hours later, it still looked as good as new." - Danielle Jackson, former assistant editor, Beauty

Pat McGrath Labs Liquilust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick ($34)

The bestselling Liquilust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick in Elson 4 is one of Swift's go-to shades for her red lip, and it's constantly sold out. However, this liquid lipstick is available in other fabulous shades like bold neutrals and fun pinks. It delivers an opaque color without feeling heavy and settles into a velvety matte finish. See its long-lasting wear in action in our editor's in-depth review of the Pat McGrath Labs Liquilust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick.

Editor Quote: "I like how opaque the formula was after just one swipe. Additionally, the tear-drop shape of the applicator made it easy to get to the corners of my lips without having to deposit a ton of color that I'd later have to wipe off. While I was waiting for it to dry, I enjoyed how velvety smooth the lipstick felt....the LiquiLust formula is slightly more comfortable on the lips than most other formulas on the market, and has more of a velvet matte finish." — Ariel Baker, former associate editor, Beauty

Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Concealer ($34)

Tackle dark spots or undereye circles with this top-rated Sublime Perfection Concealer — it manages to be both full-coverage and lightweight on the skin. Available in 34 shades, this concealer has a creamy consistency with a natural, radiant matte finish that's skin-like. It has diffusing pigments that deliver a filter-like blur to the skin.

Pat McGrath Labs FetishEyes Mascara ($34)

This mascara from Pat McGrath Labs is formulated with hydrating ingredients and peptides to strengthen each lash. It adds long-lasting length to your lashes without clumping, flaking, and smudging. Check out our Pat McGrath Labs FetishEyes Mascara review for more.

Editor Quote: "I applied a few coats in the morning and kept reapplying throughout the day, eager to see if the claim that it didn't clump would be true. I've been adding more layers every few hours and am straight-up amazed that my lashes are still without clumps, flakes, or smears. Surprisingly, they don't even feel crunchy, despite having run the wand through them at least a dozen times." - Sarah Siegel, former assistant editor, Beauty

Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Weightless Foundation ($69)

This bestselling and cult-favorite foundation blurs pores and skin imperfections into a luminous, photo-worthy finish with its light-scattering-infused pigments. It's hydrating with a thin, serum-like texture that feels weightless on the skin. Available in 34 shades, the foundation delivers a natural, skin-like finish with medium buildable coverage.

Pat McGrath Labs Mothership X Eyeshadow Palette: Moonlit Seduction ($128) and Pat McGrath Labs Mothership VII Divine Rose Eyeshadow Palette ($128)

The Mothership X Eyeshadow Palette: Moonlit Seduction was specifically used to create several looks for "Midnights." The palette has pigmented mattes, sparkling shimmers, and mesmerizing duo-chromes, perfect for a colorful, hazy eye look.

In Swift's "Bejeweled" video, McGrath used the Mothership VII Divine Rose Eyeshadow Palette to create her look. It contains a range of universally flattering rose and pink tones, perfect for a romantic look, and browns and neutrals for a natural everyday look.
