Vietnamese American celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta’s cosmetic line is finally available in Singapore!

We love the warm tones of the Major Dimension Eyeshadow Palette ($103), which will go great with the Major Headlines Cream + Powder Blush Duo ($52) - a double cheek compact where the two blush textures can be layered or worn separately. We also like the Major Glow Lip Shine ($79), a glassy lip gloss with a smooth balm-like texture, and the fragrant Major Glow Body Oil ($79) that’ll give your skin an iridescent sheen.
