Makeup artist Patrick Ta loves color contacts and pricey fanny packs

Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities buy when they’re browsing their favorite boutique or shopping online late at night? Welcome to Six Picks, where we ask stars to spill their style and beauty must-haves — so you can shop like you’re famous, too.

Makeup artist Patrick Ta is the man responsible for making some of the biggest names in Hollywood look picture perfect, with all-star clients that range from Camila Cabello and Olivia Munn to Miranda Kerr and Bella Hadid.

When it comes to pampering himself, the beauty guru favors classic products with a luxe twist, like a Gucci fanny pack and La Mer skin cream. But even though he loves a basic, Ta still likes to mix things up every now and then, putting a wild spin on his everyday staples with some edgy color contacts.
