Recently, McGrath shared the tips for the ladies who struggle with how and which shade of concealer to use. She debunks the belief of covering dark circles with a layer of concealer lighter than your complexion. She often says, “Choose a concealer the exact shade of your skin. You want to make everything look seamless. You don’t want to go too light because sometimes that draws more attention to your under-eye area.” According to her, dabbing on the problem areas ensures full coverage than rubbing.
In an interview in 2008, McGrath said, “I’m influenced by the fabrics, the colors that are in the collections and the different faces of girls, I get to see. It’s always a challenge, but that’s the key – to make it different every time.”
