PATRICK TA A self-taught talent, in just over two years, since moving from Arizona to L.A, Patrick Ta has become the go-to makeup artist for IT-girls: Gigi Hadid, Shay Mitchell, Chrissy Teigen and Jenna Dewan Tatum. A former M.A.C artist, Patrick has blown up on social media and his success has grown rapidly. His luminous glamorous skin has become his signature on the red carpet. PATRICK'S TOP TIP FOR GLOWING SKIN? For that immaculate skin, Ta tells Teen Vogue, "If you want a natural foundation that lasts longer, use long-wear foundation but mix it with moisturizer." MARIO DEDIVANOVIC This man needs no introduction, Mario arguably single-handedly started the contouring and highlighting extravaganza! Back in 2008, when Mario was relatively unknown, he met Kim Kardashian for the first time and the two transformed the makeup world forever. As well as the Kardashians, his clientele also includes: Meghan Fox, Chrissy Teigen, Kate Bosworth and Gabrielle Union. MARIO'S DESERT ISLAND BEAUTY PRODUCT? In an interview with Allure, Mario was asked what was the one product he would want with him if he was stranded on an island and, surprisingly, it was not makeup! He said, "SPF - so we don't burn... no one would see us anyway if we were stranded." Outsmarting us all, his favourite is the Tatcha - Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35.
