Pat McGrath reviews and discussion

I absolutely love this palette. The pigmentation is incredible, and the colors are rich, vibrant, and very easy to work with. The eyeshadows blend smoothly and evenly, making it simple to create both everyday looks and more dramatic styles. I also appreciate how long-lasting the formula is—it stays in place throughout the day without fading or creasing. Overall, the quality feels very high, and I would definitely recommend this palette to anyone who enjoys doing makeup.

I have some eye palettes, blushes, and highlighter from Pat Mcgrath. I was able to find all of them discounted, so I've never paid full price so far. I have one of the holiday palettes, and I've heard the quality on those sometimes isn't as good as her regular mothership palettes, but I've been happy with it. The blushes do have a bit of an odd fragrance to them which isn't my favorite, but the color payoff is nice on all her products I've tried. The highlighter is stunning and one of my favorites. Overall, the products lean more toward "glam" looks, so I don't really use them for everyday makeup. Notably, the color stories are well curated and beautiful on.

I wish I could afford to buy more Pat McGrath products! I bought this eyeshadow palette for my wedding, and I genuinely use it every day. The pigment is amazing and the colors are STUNNING! I just wish I had more opportunities to wear the sparkly shades- they're not really for every day. Overall, the products are very expensive but worth the splurge if you're on the fence.

I recently got the the mini size of the Pat McGrath Divine Blush, and it's been a pleasant surprise. The packaging is sleek and compact, making it perfect for travel or tossing into my makeup bag. The blush itself is finely milled and blends effortlessly, giving my cheeks a natural, radiant flush. I have the shade Divine Rose, which is a beautiful, muted pink that complements my skin tone well. The pigmentation is buildable, so I can go for a subtle look or layer it for more intensity. It also has impressive staying power, lasting throughout the day without fading. While the mini size is smaller than I expected, a little goes a long way, so I think it'll still last me a good while. Overall, I'm really happy with this blush and would consider trying other shades in the future.

I've only tried the mascara. I LOVE mascara and this became my new favorite. I layer it with a primer underneath. It gives my lashes length and volume. Cannot recommend enough. Yes, it's pricey, but I am very happy with the results.

The pigment in Pat McGrath products is insane! I personally love her glosses & highlighter!! The packaging is super high end & looks like a designer brand. This would make for a great gift.

It is unclear if this brand tests on animals so therefore I don’t buy from them. I also have found the products are on the expensive side

I have the first three Mothership palettes, yes the $128 palettes that only have 10 colors. They're not bad, they're just not worth the price point. This being said, they are very beautiful shades that blend so seamlessly with very minimal fallout.

Incredible eyeshadow palettes, as someone who is not afraid of glitter the colors really hold up.

Pro: Highly pigmented shadows. Love the Divine Rose lip liner. Workable buildable foundation that smooths my skin. Cons: Awful customer service through the website. Return process was a pain. Totally overpriced. No diversity with the color stories of the palettes. I will only buy these products if I find stuff at Marshalls because I'm still so annoyed with the way I was treated by this "luxury" brand. Oh, I tried to give this brand another shot and I bought a palette from Sephora. When the palette arrived, a pan towards the middle was shattered. I'm not sure if it's Sephora's fault or the fragility of the palette. I promptly returned it and swore to never buy PMG unless it was on deep discount. Deep deep discount.

I had probably the worst experience I've ever had with a brand when I ordered from Pat McGrath. Around Black Friday this past year, there was a $12 lip product sale and I knew it was my chance to try this luxury makeup brand that I had had my eye on for a while. I placed my order for two lip glosses and one lipstick, and even told my friends about the sale right after because I was so enthused about the products. I received an order confirmation email. I had ordered the lip products to my parent's home, since I currently live in a city where porch pirating is a big issue and I knew I would be returning there for the holidays. I never received a shipping confirmation. This means I NEVER had the ability to track my order, which was crucial for me since I needed to know when it was arriving so I could notify my parents. I believed the package hadn't been shipped yet and I started getting worried. Then my friend, who ordered the same lip glosses I did AFTER I ordered them, received her lip glosses. I still had received no word. Then I received an email saying I was getting a refund for the lipstick I had ordered. I was upset, but made peace with it since the items I wanted the most were the glosses. I reached out to Pat McGrath via email about the status of my order, received an auto-generated reply, and then never received an email with an actual response from a real person. I got home and my parents told me the products had arrived. Again, I had no way of knowing the products had been delivered since I NEVER received a shipping confirmation with a tracking number, and I NEVER received an email confirming delivery. To make matters worse, when I opened the package, I found one lip gloss and one lipstick. So I received notice of a lipstick being refunded but was instead shorted a gloss, one of the products I wanted the most. After this whole annoying experience, I sent Pat McGrath another email (they don't have a phone number listed on their website) detailing my entire horrid shopping process because I expected more from a luxury makeup brand. I received another auto-generated reply saying they were busy and would get back to me, and they never did.
