Pat McGrath loved creating make-up looks for Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cBejeweled\u201d music video. <\/p>\n
The 57-year-old celebrity make-up artist was \u201call in\u201d after the 32-year-old pop superstar approached her to be in charge of beauty in the star-studded third video \u2013 which includes cameos from Laura Dern, Haim, Dita Von Teese and Jack Antonoff \u2013 from her tenth studio album, \u201cMidnights\u201d. <\/p>\n
She told InStyle magazine: \u201cI remember when Taylor and her team first called and mentioned that (\u2018Bejeweled\u2019) was a theme that I would be obsessed with. As soon as she explained the theme \u2026 I knew I was all in.\u201d<\/p>\n
McGrath said once she was giving the jewel-toned brief, she got to work to conjure up \u201caround 30 looks\u201d for the easter egg-laden video, which included throwbacks to Swift\u2019s third album, \u201cSpeak Now\u201d. <\/p>\n
She said: \u201cOnce I had all those elements, I sat down and designed around 30 looks.\u201d <\/p>\n
McGrath said that she and her team \u201ctried every colour and shade of crystal, different wing shapes, various ombr\u00e9 gradations, (and) all sorts of eye shadows from my classic Mothership Eye Palettes and the holiday\u2019s MTHRSHP Celestial Nirvana Eye Palette.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Pat McGrath Lab founder \u2013 whose little black book of clients boasts names such as Madonna, Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Aniston \u2013 revealed that Swift herself was involved \u201cevery step of the way\u201d.<\/p>\n
McGrath labelled the \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d hitmaker \u2013 who also directed the music video \u2013 \u201cdazzling\u201d and as \u201cbeautiful on the inside as she is on the outside\u201d. <\/p>\n
McGrath also said: \u201cTaylor was such an incredible director. She made me feel confident to be the queen. It was a day I will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Vogue beauty guru \u2013 who has painted the Grammy winner\u2019s face for more than 10 years and notably before she announced her new LP at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards \u2013 also featured in the \u201cfabulous\u201d video. <\/p>\n
Writing on Twitter on Wednesday, she said: \u201cSurprise everyone, I play \u2018The Queen\u2019 in the fabulous twist on a fairy tale, \u2018Bejeweled\u2019, directed by my ICONIC friend @taylorswift13.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo reign as The Queen of Bejeweled, on a song from this year\u2019s #1 album was utterly fun, fabulous and fierce!\u201d<\/p>\n
