About the original
Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance is a full-coverage matte lipstick pigmented with high-saturation color and finished with a blurred-velvet matte texture. Pat McGrath Labs was founded in 2015 by Dame Pat McGrath, the British makeup artist whose editorial and runway work led to her being named Global Creative Design Director at Procter & Gamble Beauty. Her label has built its reputation on pigment density and shade range that read on-camera for runway use. The FW2020 Supreme collab produced a custom MatteTrance shade in an exclusive red developed specifically for the drop, shipped in a co-branded bullet. It retailed at $38, the same as a standard MatteTrance, making this one of the rare collabs sold at cost parity.
