Reported by: Sesan Rufus Awobiye
Lagos, Nigeria – November 2025. It was pure glamour and inspiration as global beauty mogul and celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta made his dazzling debut in Lagos at this year’s GTCO Fashion Weekend. The Los Angeles–based star lit up the stage with his radiant charm, captivating the audience during a live masterclass that blended artistry, authenticity, and an inspiring journey from humble beginnings to international fame.
Radiating warmth and humility, Patrick expressed his excitement about his first visit to Nigeria.
“It’s my first time in Lagos, so I’m super excited to be here,” he said with a bright smile. “Everyone’s been so warm and welcoming. I feel very well received.”
From Setback to Stardom
Behind the global success lies a story of perseverance. A first-generation Vietnamese American, Patrick’s path to stardom began after a failed business venture — a nail salon that didn’t take off. Determined to start anew, he joined M.A.C. Cosmetics, where he honed his craft and built the confidence that would one day define his brand.
With his signature soft glam and luminous “major glow” finish, Patrick quickly became a favorite among Hollywood’s elite. His artistry has graced the faces of Gigi Hadid, Ariana Grande, Shay Mitchell, Chrissy Teigen, and even members of the Kardashian-Jenner family.
Birth of the “Major Glow” Brand
In 2019, Patrick turned his passion for radiant, red carpet–ready beauty into a global brand — Patrick Ta Beauty — inspired by his belief that “skin should look lit from within.”
“When I stopped comparing myself to other artists and embraced my own style, people started booking me more,” he revealed during his masterclass.
Since its debut, the brand has become a worldwide sensation, known for its blush duos, highlighters, and inclusive shades that celebrate all skin tones.
From Makeup Artist to CEO
Patrick’s transformation from artist to entrepreneur was fueled by strategic partnerships and vision.
“When I started my brand, I had private backing. One of my clients actually started the brand with me. Then, about two years ago, we took private equity to help us expand strategically and enter new markets,” he explained.
Today, Patrick Ta Beauty is stocked on shelves across the world, including Sephora, and continues to expand its digital and retail presence globally.
A Star Attraction in Lagos
Patrick’s Lagos appearance was one of the major highlights of GTCO Fashion Weekend 2025, an event renowned for uniting fashion, beauty, and lifestyle leaders from across the world with Africa’s creative community.
His blend of talent, humility, and authenticity left a lasting impression, reminding everyone that beauty is more than skin deep — it’s about resilience, reinvention, and the confidence to shine through every challenge.
Patrick Ta’s Lagos debut wasn’t just a makeup moment — it was a celebration of global artistry and the power of beauty to connect cultures.
