Pat McGrath
Celebrity and editorial makeup artist, and now founder of eponymous makeup brand, McGrath told British Vogue Magazine about her viral brand launch. “When Pat McGrath Labs was born two years ago, it encapsulated my obsessions, inspirations and addictions. My intention in creating it was to thank my makeup-obsessed followers with the most divine gold pigment ever formulated. When I discovered it, I knew I couldn’t wait the two years most brands need to do a full protection run. The idea of a product ‘drop’ came from musicians, and what was happening in fashion with streetwear brands. Ninety days later, I dropped Gold 001 and it was insane: 2,000,000 people tried to buy 1,000 units and it was all gone in six seconds”.

For example, as editors, we know that there wasn’t a holy grail cleanser on the market. So when we set out to create one, we turned to our Into The Gloss readers and asked them to describe their dream face wash. Thousands of comments and twelve months later, Milky Jelly Cleanser launched and now it’s one of our bestselling products”.
