She is the Global Creative Design Director for P & G Beauty where she collaborates with the P&G design team in designing products for CoverGirl , Max Factor and D&G cosmetics.

She has made up countless celebrities and worked on 155 Italian Vogue covers and 48 American Vogue covers.

She has also been instrumental in developing cosmetics for women of color with P&G Beauty and their innovative team. Thanks to her experience working with a vast spectrum of skin tones, she’s been able to offer her expertise during the development of products for African American consumers. Most recently, Pat, along with the P&G team developed the shade palettes for new CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast, ShineBlast Lip Gloss, Outlast Lipstain and the blast palette of CG Eye Enhancers: she’s obsessive in finding shades, pigments and textures that work for every skin tone. As the world’s leading make up artist, Pat’s catwalk work is usually responsible if bright pink or red lipstick makes a comeback. She potentially influences every woman in the world as a result.
