In her 25 years in the beauty industry designing looks for Dior, Givenchy, Valentino and Prada to name a few, Pat was a trailblazer on many counts. As Pat McGrath Labs forays into the Indian beauty industry with Nykaa exclusively, Pat collaborates with ELLE India to co-edit the season's trend forecast using her brand's best offerings.

RED REBELLION

Pat, who is known for her modern adaptations of the classic red lip says, Shades of crimson and ruby on the lips are a forever trend. Her ability to reinvent this iconic look is why red is always on her hot list.

Here's how to get Pat's signature red lip: The texture of the lips is vital here. Lips must be scrubbed and hydrated before the colour application. Let a generous layer of Lip Fetish Balm in Clear get absorbed while you do the rest of the make-up. When it's time for the lipstick, tissue-blot the excess.
