Patrick Ta Shines Bright at the Allure Best of Beauty Awards

Celebrity makeup artist and founder of Patrick Ta Beauty, Patrick Ta, continues to earn recognition across the beauty world. After taking home multiple accolades at the 2025 Allure Best of Beauty Awards, the brand returned to the winners list in 2026, when the Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Concealer was named Best Light Coverage Concealer. Here is a look at every award-winning product and what makes each one stand out.

Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Concealer

The newest addition to Patrick Ta's awards lineup is the Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Concealer, which earned Best Light Coverage Concealer at the 2026 Allure Best of Beauty Awards. The creamy, skin-like formula brightens and diffuses the under-eye area with a softly blurred finish that never looks cakey. A thin layer gives a natural, light-coverage look for everyday wear, and it builds easily wherever you want a little more. Beyond dark circles, it can be applied to the smile lines, chin, and peak of the forehead to bring light and dimension to the face.

Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation

At the 2025 awards, the Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation clinched the award for Best Liquid Foundation. This foundation is lauded for its ability to deliver a radiant, bare-skin look, often associated with professional lighting and expert application. Infused with squalane and three forms of hyaluronic acid, it offers a luminous glow even without a full makeup routine. Senior copy manager Leslie Lipton praised its creamy yet lightweight texture, noting how it softens fine lines and provides a flawless finish.

Want the same glow on the go? The award-winning formula is also available as the Mini Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Foundation, a travel-friendly size offered in 30 shades.

Major Sculpt Dual-Ended Sculpting Brush

Complementing the foundation, the Major Sculpt Dual-Ended Sculpting Brush was honored as the Best Bronzer Brush in 2025. This innovative tool features a compact slant for cream products and a fluffy fan for powders, allowing for precise application and blending. Its design ensures that achieving contoured cheekbones or an all-over glow is effortless, making it a must-have for makeup enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many shades does the Patrick Ta Soft Blur Brightening Concealer come in?

The Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Concealer comes in 25 shades. The range spans a wide spectrum of skin tones and undertones, so you can match your complexion exactly or go one shade lighter to brighten the under-eyes. Browse every shade in the concealer collection to find the right fit for your routine.

Should I apply concealer before or after foundation?

For most looks, apply foundation first and concealer second. Foundation evens out the overall complexion, so you usually need less concealer afterward and the finish looks more natural. Tap concealer only where you want extra brightness or coverage, then blend the edges. For a full breakdown, see our guide to foundation vs. concealer.

What is the difference between the full-size and mini Major Skin foundation?

The Mini Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Foundation is the same award-winning formula as the full-size foundation in a smaller, travel-friendly size. Both come in 30 shades and deliver a lightweight, luminous finish with buildable coverage. The mini is an easy way to try a new shade or keep your foundation in your bag for touch-ups.

Can I use the Major Sculpt Dual-Ended Sculpting Brush with other contour products?

Yes, the Major Sculpt Dual-Ended Sculpting Brush works with both cream and powder formulas. Use the angled end to apply and shape cream contour, then use the fluffy end to dust on powder bronzer and blend. Its synthetic bristles pair well with any product in the bronzer and contour collection.

How do I make concealer look natural under the eyes?

Start with a small amount and build only where needed. Apply a thin layer of the Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Concealer where shadows are deepest, then blend with a fingertip, brush, or sponge. Light layers keep the finish soft and help prevent creasing. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see Patrick's technique for concealer.
