Patrick Ta’s Secret for Plump, Juicy Lips? Oh, Just This $5 Drugstore Hero

With a stacked celebrity roster (Candice Swanepoel, Camila Cabello, and Gigi Hadid, to name a few), Patrick Ta is someone I’m always looking to for glam inspiration. I have eagle eyes on his Instagram page just in case he posts a particularly saveable look or drops a gem of a product rec I can immediately add to my collection. So when I got the chance to personally ask the iconic makeup artist about his go-to lip combo, you better believe I was champing at the bit to hear his routine.

Ta, of course, has his makeup line, the eponymous Patrick Ta Beauty, so I was expecting to hear his favorite picks from the collection, but it turns out he uses an unsuspecting drugstore product for what he considers the most important step—the prep.
