All-purpose flour is literally all-purpose.
Hi, everybody, I'm Nico.
And I'm Kyle and today we have a very special guest with us, Patrick Starr.
Hi!
Patrick is here today to talk a little bit about his makeup collab with MAC.
So tell us a little bit about it.
Thank you guys so much for having me first of all.
We have a MAC collection that's 12 pieces brought to you by yours truly.
And I used to actually work at MAC and to see this collection here is so surreal.
I have three lipsticks, three glosses, three pencils, two eyeshadow quads, and a beautiful setting powder.
That's definitely the star of the show...
...and since you are the master of baking, we thought we'd give you a little bit of a challenge today.
Oh, a challenge? I'm up for it.
How does that sound?
That sounds great.
Alright, let's do it.
So today we are challenging you to a...
Ooh, surprises.
Makeup bake-off!
Is this like, real stuff?
That's cocoa powder.
Oh, this is real cocoa?
You're grandma's gonna come on too?
Is grandma here teaching us to bake?
We've got everything here that you need for a good bake.
We've got flour, cocoa, cornstarch.
Okay, so we have all of our baking supplies here.
And we challenge you to do your face with all of these ingredients.
All? Ok.
Do you think you can handle that?
Yes! But I think you guys should do it with me, yeah?
Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
Ok cool, so what are we going to start with?
Baking, of course.
To get a proper bake going, I think we need a little concealer first?
Oh yes, and since I'm an expert I'm going to help you out, okay?
I need it.
Okay
Ooh, okay.
What is this?
That is corn starch.
What's this?
Flour, that is straight up flour.
Oh, we're going for the flour.
Oh my god, this is legit working.
It feels nice actually.
That feels like it's really setting.
I think I'll do mine, too.
Oh my god, this is flour.
This look on me is, you know, it's all over the internet so I'm not ashamed.
Oh my god.
We are ready to bake some bread.
Okay, so what should we do next? We should do, um...
A little contour?
A little contour, yeah.
I think you should use the cocoa.
Cocoa's for me? Alright.
Girl, let's give you a little nutmeg.
Oh my god, this actually works!
Oh, I can smell it.
So while we're baking, let's talk about this big MAC collab you just came out with.
You get a phone call saying "Patrick, we want to do a collaboration with you."
How does it feel to go from working at MAC, to now having this huge launch with them?
It's so crazy, I mean, I was baking my whole life.
I think when I heard the phone call I was out of town, and my agent was like...
"MAC wants to do something huge with you," and I was like what?
What could it be?
And they were like, "They want to do a product."
And then they were like, "No, they want to do something bigger."
Throughout the whole process, throughout this past year of working...
...it hasn't hit me until like this week.
So, did you think of the products right away?
Did you know what you wanted to do when they told you about this collaboration?
As far as the products, this is one of five collections...
...so I wanted to do a custom color essentials...
...as a groundwork for the rest of the beautiful collections to come.
So these are beautiful existing colors, with some custom colors by me...
...just packaged with beautiful packaging that I've designed with MAC...
...and it's with my signature!
It's just so, so insane to think that my signature that I wrote on my couch in my apartment...
...is like, literally on all these millions of MAC products.
But as far as like my most favorite products from the collection is the baking powder.
With this you gotta bake it at 350 for like 30 minutes.
But with that you can use it with a brush, you can use it with a sponge, you can use it with a spoon.
It's a beautiful powder that works on everyone and I love it.
The beauty world was so excited about this powder...
...because it's really supposed to be a universal setting powder and that's really important, right?
There's not a lot of powders out there on the market that are gonna work for a whole range of skin tones.
So how'd you manage that and why was that so important?
If I could leave it to anyone to execute my wishes with powder my three wishes...
...full coverage, translucent on all skin tones, and ultra fine. It was MAC.
MAC is such a cult favorite brand of everyone, everyone knows MAC.
I've known MAC before any other brand.
And I think it's... It was up to them to execute what I wanted and there were so many revisions in creating this powder.
I would try it on myself, try it on my friends of different textures and tones...
...and we really really really worked so hard on creating the best formula.
Oh, I think that's a sign that we gotta wipe this bake-off.
Oh, okay. Alright, yeah so here's a brush for you.
Here's a brush for you.
We've gotta see how this worked.
Now while we're sitting here doing our makeup you spent so much time as a MAC artist.
Was there one thing you saw time and time again that people were really making a mistake with?
I feel like blending is like one thing that people don't really take that seriously.
It takes more than like a minute to blend, it took me hours to do my makeup this morning.
I think also baking is so intimidating for some people.
That's why you got girls wanted to bake with flour at home.
You know when you've got a beauty guru over here, we'll teach you the right steps.
I've heard you say in your videos before that makeup is one size fits all.
Now me and Kyle obviously we're totally different in looks, skin, everything.
What did you mean by saying that?
I was just shopping, you know at, I think at Forever 21 and some have plus sizes and some don't.
And so I was like you know "I can't buy anything in here."
But you know what I can buy is makeup because makeup is a one size fits all.
We're all so different, whether you're a boy or a girl, older or younger.
And that's what I love about MAC too. It's all ages, all sexes, all races.
And so I think it's just about being inclusive...
...celebrating beauty, because I think everyone that deserves that right to feel confident...
...whether it's with makeup, or with fitness, or with food, or with fashion.
I think it's just all inclusive to who you want to be...
...and my medium happens to be makeup.
It really doesn't matter 'cause at the end the day, we're all people...
...and that's my platform and I want to use my platform as Patrick Starrr to promote equality.
That is actually not that bad, right?
I like it, we look good.
I mean if you're in a pinch, if you're on a budget, if you're in a rush.
All-purpose flour is literally all-purpose.
Well, thank you so much for stopping by and showing us your MAC collab...
...and we're so excited for you, and any last words?
