Makeup legend Pat McGrath hinted at the launch of her first product, Gold 001, at the Prada Spring 2016 show, then took to Paris' Jardins des Tuileries for impromptu makeovers and the official announcement shortly thereafter. Needless to say, the magical metallic powder sold out almost instantly. ; Photo: Instagram
