One of the most renowned names in the fashion world is Pat McGrath. She has to be one of the most influential and experienced make-up artist of today. The above pictures are some of the beautiful looks she created for Dior Haute Couture. The above seems to have been inspired by the '30s, with velvet red lips, lucious blonde waves and butterfly eyes. Loving the dainty pastel against the thickly coated lashes.

And what is is that makes McGrath stand out? "I like to use unexpected elements, like metallic accents, to create unigue looks" she says.
