Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – It has been more than a week since the looks created by the makeup artist, Pat McGrath, for the spring and summer 2024 haute couture show from the house of…Maison Margiela”, On the imagination of the audience, and has been causing controversy on the Internet ever since.
McGrath, considered by Vogue magazine to be the most influential makeup artist in the world, transformed models into living dolls, with porcelain skin, thin eyebrows, and strikingly shaded eyes, lips and cheeks.
But it was her waxy, glowy skin that stole the show, spawning countless magazine analyzes and TikTok tutorials, some of which have amassed millions of views.

During a live broadcast on Instagram on Friday, she and her team replicated a makeup look from the Maison Margiela fashion show. McGrath praised the many searches and attempts to replicate the look by fans.
With the secret products McGrath used to achieve glowing skin kept secret until her live broadcast, online speculation reached a fever pitch this week, following post-show video footage of models shedding what looked like a second layer of skin, with some speculating that McGrath had used a diluted peel-off mask. With water.
While others claimed the high-shine effect was created using a product from professional makeup brand Kryolan called “Liquid Glass,” a theory that caught on online so much that the product instantly sold out.
Although the theory impressed McGrath, it wasn’t the “secret product” she used for that fashion show.

Speaking with CNN, a spokesperson for Pat McGrath Labs, the beauty brand founded by the makeup artist, seemed to confirm the face mask theory: “Pat McGrath Labs has always been regarding creating products and formulas that have never existed before, and the team has been working on “The formula has been in the lab for some time. Backstage for the Margiela fashion show, McGrath combined several products for the show, including face masks (one of which was cucumber) and the perfect amount of water.”
The spokesperson continued that this technology was “the most challenging piece of the puzzle,” ensuring that a highly reflective, glassy finish was achieved without messing with the makeup underneath.
He added: “We realize that people do not want to mix a large number of products, which is why we will launch a product that gives you the perfect finishing touch that has the effect of reflecting glass.”
Via Instagram Live, McGrath and her team revealed a few of the eight products used, including peel-off face masks from Freeman Beauty, Proot, and Que Bella.
McGrath said her team sprayed seven to eight layers of the complex mask on each model, a time-consuming process to ensure their glass skin wouldn’t tarnish before the show.
To create a “porcelain foundation” look on fair-skinned models, McGrath’s team mixed her eponymous brand’s Sublime Perfection Foundation with theatrical white paint.
Before using the airbrush, makeup artists applied water-based special effects to the corners of the models’ lips and noses, in order to achieve extra shine.
McGrath noted that the models themselves also helped seal each layer of glass skin, blow-drying their faces in a process that took between 45 minutes and two hours.
McGrath’s innovation is just the latest — albeit most extreme — example of the trend toward ultra-glossy, poreless, flawless skin.
For her part, celebrity makeup artist Monica Blinder, whose client list includes Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson and Megan Fox, told CNN that McGrath’s “amazing” Margiela looks are not possible for an “everyday” look.
However, she had suggestions for “a similar, more achievable look from home.”
Preparing the skin perfectly is essential, and Blender recommended starting with facial oil before applying foundation, then skipping powder to maintain its shine.
“After your makeup is done, you can really ramp up the glow by adding another thin layer of oil over the top, or for extra consistent shine, my favorite trick is to use a clear moisturizer as a highlighter,” she added.
