Regarded as one of the best makeup artists in the world today, Patrick Ta has built a huge reputation — and a huge following — for both his work with celebrities and his popular range of Patrick Ta Beauty cosmetics. Among the Hollywood stars on his client list are Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Shay Mitchell, Eva Longoria, Adriana Lima, Joan Smalls, and more. He is based in Los Angeles but travels the world to perform his makeup magic. He currently has more than 3 million followers on Instagram, more than 850,000 TikTok followers, and also has a popular YouTube channel where he regularly shares tutorials that have now been viewed more than 3.6 million times.

Ta hails from San Diego. He first became interested in makeup after dropping out of high school and moving to Arizona in his late teens. When a stint running his own nail salon ended, he moved again, this time Los Angeles, and began working in social media. This introduced him to a lot of celebrities, and he realised that he could make a career out of his love of makeup. Despite not being represented by an agency, he worked every day to build his client list, and slowly but surely, he did, his reputation for beautiful, dewy looks quickly gaining him influential fans.

In 2019, Ta launched his signature cosmetics brand, Patrick Ta Beauty, which has become one of the most highly-rated ranges on the market today.
