Pat Mcgrath Skin Fetish Glass 001 Artistry Mask But Mother We Didn’t Ask For This

Pat Mcgrath is an absolute god in my books but who asked for the Skin Fetish Glass 001 Artistry Mask to be launched to the public? I know I didn’t. I was as captivated as everyone else when Mother created the “glass skin” look for the John Galliano’s Margiela Artisanal Show. It was a fascinating, unique, and innovative look. It was an avant-garde look with a touch of uncanny valley. It was a gorgeous look for a fashion show but wearing this out and about or to work? I’m a little unsure about that.

I will say the look garnered a ton of attention from both people without the beauty industry and those of who just love makeup. But I never thought that they’d actually released this to the general public. It’s actually priced not too badly at $38 and I can’t say I’m not curious enough to buy and try it. However, my question still remains WHEN would I actually use this and would I actually have the coverage to walk out of the outside looking like a mannequin. I’ve never been shy about loving doll-like makeup. Pink cheeks, big lashes and doe eyes, that’s a beautiful look but actually have doll-like skin? I’m a little unsure about that.

Pat Mcgrath Skin Fetish Glass 001 Artistry Mask has a shiny, lacquer like finish that can be applied in a thin layer over makeup. It’s apparently very hydrating and contains rose water and glycerin so it won’t dry your face out when you’re wearing it. It blurs and smooths skin to minimize imperfection and pores giving you a glass-like, dewy look.

If you’re look not ready to go all Jeff from Today’s Special you can use this on the higher points of your face to add radiance and that interesting plastic shine of a mannequin. Start with the cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, or the chin and of course, don’t forget your highlighter to give that dewy glass luminosity. Apparently, you can customize the look which is why I got curious as you can get a softer finish if you use it under and not over makeup as a primer of sorts. It’ll create smoother skin but not that ultra-glassy look! I’m thinking something along the lines of E.L.F. Jelly Pop Primer maybe? If that’s the case sign me up for a case of Pat Mcgrath Skin Fetish Glass 001 Artistry Mask. They do promote it as being quite good for your skin and since it peels off I’m wondering if we can use it as a face mask as well.

This one is innovative for sure but I’m still questioning who can use this in a daily look. It seems something you’d use for Halloween or maybe for a photo shoot but not about the everyday makeup user. If it does turn into something we can use for maybe a touch of dewiness or even as a primer of sorts that might be my tipping point to indulge.

Pat Mcgrath Skin Fetish Glass 001 Artistry Mask launches January 30th.
