This time last year, we became glued to Netflix as Bridgerton filled our screens. The period drama produced by Shondaland transported us to the upper-crust debutantes of Regency-era London. We weren’t the only ones who watched with bated breath as the love story between Daphne Bridgerton and the charming Duke of Hastings unfolded. Legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath was with us.
As the cameras panned across rooms filled with ladies in empire-length gowns, sparkling embellishments and fluttering’s of feathers, the Mother of makeup was inspired. The result? A new Bridgerton X Pat McGrath Labs collection. Admitting that she, like many of us, was glued to her TV and binged the show, the limited-edition makeup collection offers up all the Regency-era vibes you would expect with a modern twist.
First up, The Mthrshp “Diamond of the First Water” eyeshadow palette features six shades in a creamy powder formulation. The colours include a luminous pink satin, a velvety plum taupe-matte, an iridescent blue astral, a platinum rose metallic, a brilliant berry satin and an opalescent champagne highlighter for a smouldering eye look. Next, the ethereal skin seen on the show can be reimaged with McGrath’s The Divine Blush + Glow Trio called “Love at First Blush”. Featuring a highlighter and a duo of blushes, the formulas melt into the skin.
The iconic Skin Fetish “Sublime Skin Highlighter” rounds out the collection, which offers up a duo of high-intensity and illuminating shades. Allowing you to get creative, McGrath encourages you to experiment with the highlighter, which can be used on both the face and body, with her blush and glow trio also being able to be applied anywhere from the cheeks to eyes and even on the lips.
Of course, we wouldn’t expect anything less than some dazzling packaging from McGrath. Perfected for your vanity, the eyeshadow palette and highlighter and blush duo feature a powdery baby blue exterior, with pearls, roses, and the family crescent. The powder themselves arrive embossed with motifs like a cameo head and bees. Skin Fetish is packaged in a glossy black casing, also featuring the Bridgerton family crest.
Fronting the campaign is Ava Philippe, the daughter of actress Reese Witherspoon and a muse of McGrath. Model Vinetria Chubbs joins Philippe, dressed up like modern-day debutantes, tiaras, and all.
Arriving on December 26, you’ll have to wait a little longer to get your hands on the collection that will be available to purchase on Patmcgrath.com. If McGrath’s previous collaboration with Supreme and the Star Wars franchise is anything to go on, you’ll need to be quick.
